US Open Golf 2021: Richard Bland, Russell Henley share lead with Louis Oosthuizen, Matthew Wolff one back

Firstpost  

Bland had a 4-under 67 and walked off Torrey Pines with his name atop the leaderboard in only his fourth major. The weekend at Torrey Pines features major champions and major contenders, players who are unknown or unheralded, all of them still within reach of that US Open trophy. Former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen and Matthew Wolff, the US Open runner-up last year at Winged Foot, were one shot behind. “I’m sure he knows nothing about me, too,” said Henley, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour who has played 26 majors without a top 10. If you’re got the skill set to get the ball in the hole in the least amount of shots, you can be up there with the young guns.” Bland is the classic journeyman, happy to be making a living at golf for more than two decades, disappointed to have not won until he broke through last month, not nearly surprised as most everyone else that he was tied for the US Open.
