US Open
Straka in 16th place within striking distance of the top field
Golf pro Sepp Straka has taken his top form into the US Open. After completing his first round on Course 2 at the Pinehurst Resort & Country Club, the Viennese was tied 16th with even par.
Rory McIlroy and Patrick Cantlay were in the lead at this year's third major tournament with prize money of 20 million dollars. They played five under par on the par-70 course with its treacherous greens.
This is Straka's fourth US Open appearance, having achieved his best result to date in 2019 with 28th place. Things did not go according to plan in the past two years, with Austria's number one missing the cut on both occasions. However, seven top 16 results in the past nine PGA tournaments underline the fact that the world number 18 is currently in good form.
