US Open fans show affection for the Loves at Erin Hills

ERIN, Wis. (AP) The Loves felt the love from the gallery at the U.S. Open.

Davis Love IV made his professional debut at Erin Hills, shooting a 1-under 71 in his first round in a major tournament. His father, PGA Tour star Davis Love III, served as caddie.

The younger Love, who goes by ”Dru,” called it an ”awesome” experience.

”We got a lot of `Go 3 and 4s’ and `Go Davis,”’ Dru Love said. ”I think everybody’s rooting for us and wanting us to do well.”

The elder Love has 21 PGA Tour wins, including the PGA Championship at Winged Foot in 1997.
