Win For Stenson and Johnson!! Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson set the tone on the wild terrain of Chambers Bay, which made a relatively gentle debut. Both shot 5-under 65 and shared the lead and the other 23 players who managed to break par in a gentle debut of the new golf course off Puget Sound agreed that it likely will only get tougher the rest of the way.

In a hole deeper than that bunker he found by topping a 3-wood on his final hole, Woods sunk to another low with the highest opening round of his PGA Tour career and his worst score by three shots in two decades at the U.S. Open. He shot an 80, which would have been even more shocking if he hadn’t had two scores even worse already this year.

Woods beat only two players in the 156-man field. One of them was Rickie Fowler, who shot an 81.Johnson was flawless and powerful. His only mistake came on his final hole when he pulled a 6-iron on the par-3 ninth over the green and made his only bogey. Stenson, among the cynical of Chambers Bay when he first saw it, birdied four of his last five holes. He poured in a 25-footer on the 18th for his 65.

Leave it to Woods to steal the show at the U.S. Open, even if he wanted to hide. Chambers Bay showed off some of its nuances.
