His father is a member at our club and I watched Dylan growing up as a junior player here at Rogue Valley from the age of 10 or so. He's done fairly well, but nothing exceptional on the McKenzie and Korn Ferry Tour and was able to qualify for the Open. Would love to see him make some noise and do well!

Middler Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 It’s shaped up nicely after 36 holes. Torrey Pines is obviously plenty challenging, no round better than -4, with tougher pin placements to come - so huge moves may not be possible. Several interesting story lines, we’ll see which one plays out to a win. Several old guys like Bland, Oosty, Watson and big names still in striking distance Rahm, Schauffele, and a little further back Thomas, Morikawa, Koepka, McIlroy, DJ - to name some. We’ll see who’s hot on Saturday, who loses on Saturday, and who prevails and who collapses on Sunday - like most tournaments. Should be a fun Sat-Sun as always with the US Open. As long as “Brooksy D” doesn’t win, I’m happy.
