U.S. Open Outtakes
The threesome of Kevin Streelman, D.A. Points and Dong-Hwan Lee head into the afternoon sun on Friday. Streelman survived the cut, but his colleagues did not.
After a 69 in the second round, Nicolas Colsaerts earned quite a bit of airtime in the third round. He stumbled in the final round and finished T-27.
Matt Kuchar was among the favorites heading into the Open based on his past performance at Olympic and his recent win in the Players. Seven bogeys on Sunday derailed his chances, and he finished well off the pace.
