The Latest: Patience Once Again a Virtue at US Open

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — The latest from the U.S. Open (all times local):

9:30 a.m.

The toughest hole at Chambers Bay is the 515-yard, par-4 seventh, which has tall fescue to the left, a wide waste bunker on the right and an uphill climb to the green.

Jamie Lovemark figured out a way to solve it Friday.

Lovemark hit his approach into the greenside bunker, splashed out and watched his ball trickle into the hole for a rare birdie — there were just 11 of them at No. 7 on Thursday.

That moved Lovemark to 2 under after his even-par 70 in the opening round.
