June 11, 2025; Omkont, Pennsylvania, USA; Cameron plays a shot on the 18th hole during an exercise round for the US Open Golf Tournament at the Omith Omont Country Club. Compulsory Credit: Bill Stretcher-Emagan Picture Australia’s Cameron Smith and England’s Lee Westwood 1-Ein were in five-way tie for equal, before the first round of live golf was suspended on Friday, Spain was suspended due to air conditions in Spain.
Smith was done through 16 holes before playing, through 15 with Westwood. Also tied to the first place were Talor Gooch (through 10 holes), Chile’s Jokin Neemon (16 holes) and Brandon Grace (two holes) of South Africa.
Smith said about the gusts that arrived at 33 mph per hour, “It was actually in the air all day and perhaps woke up in the last few hours.” “Yes, just had to behave with it and go with it. It was very difficult there.”
The first-round play has been resumed with a second round to resume on Saturday at 8 am on Saturday.
Smith was at 4 through 14 holes, before he began to struggle with the wind, assembled a double-bogie in Par-3 15th hole and a bogie in par-4 16th.
Smith said, “It was definitely going on a platform with three or four holes that everyone was very tired there and angry to be honest,” Smith said. “It was a very disappointing day. … You can play this golf course without air and it is cruel. When you get a glimpse of 30-mile per hour, it is definitely not an easy place to go around.”
Westwood was also under 4 through its first seven holes, but their hot start was interrupted by a double bogie at number 8, followed by a bogie at number 11.
Neemon, who has already won four times this season, had a Birdi at number 4, then 12 consecutive purses before playing.
Bryson Dechambo also equalized his round and was tied to the second place with John Rahm of Spain, which were through 14 holes. A group of 10 seated another shot behind 1 over, including Phil Mixels and United States Rider Cup Hopful Patrick Reid.
There were three beats with three bogies in Decombo and the bogie in the 17th hole was 1-underworks for the first round.
Reid is winning her first live winning at Live Golf Dallas in Carolon, Texas on 29 June, winning in a playoff at England’s Paul KC, Jinchiro Kozuma of Japan and Louis Oshuisan in South Africa.
Spain’s defending champion Sergio Garcia was more than 2 in a logs through 14 holes.
The game was suspended at 5:07 pm local time and was not resumed.
This is the first European stop on the 2025 live golf calendar.
