US Open: Kirk posts 10 on first hole at Chambers Bay after just off green in 2 shots
It'll definitely be a weekend to forget for Chris Kirk.
A day after posting a 10-over 80 to fall way off the pace at the U.S. Open, Kirk started his final round with a 10 on the opening par-4 first hole en route to an 8-over 78.
Kirk is currently 75th at 21 over for the tournament – last among those that made the cut at Chambers Bay.
The 10 on Sunday morning (local Washington State time) happened mostly due to poor short-game play. Kirk was just off the green in two shots, but was on the downslope side. His first chip didn't make it to the green, and came back to nearly where he was. He suffered the same result again with his fourth shot. And again on his fifth, sixth and seventh shots.
He'd finally get it on the green with his eighth pitch and two-putted to sit at 6 over through one hole.
