Na's first round: Not so rough; shoots 68

ERIN, Wis. – Kevin Na found the now-infamous fescue only once Thursday at Erin Hills. His tee shot landed about 2 feet into the tall grass to the left of the par-5 seventh hole, his ball nestled so deep that he was surprised the spotters even found it.

You’d think that he would have learned his lesson after his viral Instagram post on Sunday, but instead Na requested a wedge to hack out.

“No chance,” said his caddie, Kenny Harms.

And so Na took an unplayable lie, dropped in the first cut of rough and ended up making bogey.
