Round 1, that is. As a former newspaperman, I can say that the Sports departments at newspapers in the central and eastern time zones are hating primetime U.S. Open golf. But then, as a former newspaperman, who cares! It's on TV in primetime!

Geoff Ogilvy is lurking. EIGHTEEN DOWN, 54 TO GO. Round one of the U.S. Open is in the books, and two non-household names share the lead at three-under 68, Nationwide Tour player Justin Hicks and 29-year-old Kevin Streelman, who seems to emerge from obscurity on visits to Torrey Pines.

So THE GREATEST THREESOME IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD didn't exactly light Torrey Pines on fire yesterday. Big deal. Anybody who thinks Tiger Woods , Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott are toast has been smokin' a little too much kikuyu.

Turns out I goofed. Not exactly very proud of it. But turns out that the first round US Open leader named Justin Hicks, isn't the same Justin Hicks who played in the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines earlier this year and gives golf lessons of which you can register online and I posted the link to that schedule earlier today. No that Justin Hicks is now officially known as Justin B Hicks. So ...Tony Romo Wouldn't Be the Worst Player in the U.S. Open Field This Week

Justin Hicks finished his round at 3-under, the first golfer to get in the U.S. Open clubhouse at that number. Who? Doesn't it seem like there's a Justin Hicks on the first-day leaderboard every year at the U.S. Open? Hicks graduated from the University of Michigan in 1997 and turned pro that year. This is just his third career start on the PGA Tour, and one of the previous two was ...
