OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Andrew Landry's opening drive rocketed into the right rough alongside the fairway. From there, his first approach shot nosedived into the left rough alongside the green.
Somehow, things went downhill from there.
By the time the final round was over, what began like a story line cribbed from the movie "Caddyshack" — "Cinderella boy about to become the U.S. Open champion!" — turned into an all-too-familiar, crash-and-burn tale from more than one final round of a major championship.
"I'm taking this as a positive," Landry said after signing for a 78. His 285 total was nine shots behind winner Dustin Johnson and left him in a tie for 15th place.
