The U.S. Open promised to be different this year at Erin Hills, and the predictions of low scores were voiced when Jordan Spieth said that he though the scores at the Wisconsin course could be in the five- to 10-under range, per Gary D'Amato of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The course does not appear to be as tough as many U.S. Opens tend to be, and that was especially true in the morning portion of the first round.
Nobody took advantage of the conditions more than Rickie Fowler, who dominated the golf course with a seven-under round of 65.
