It’s Moving Day in North Carolina, and we’ve got a U.S. Open rookie leading the way.
Ludvig Åberg enters Saturday with a one-shot lead over the field after his 1-under 69 on Friday at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. He’s playing in his first ever U.S. Open, and is just a few months removed from his first major championship appearance. If he can pull off a win this week, he’d be the first tournament rookie to do so in more than 100 years.
There are plenty of big names behind him, though, including Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy — who is hunting for his first major win in nearly a full decade.
