Martin Kaymer misses the cut at the US Open. With four birdies on the last six lanes, he prevents a debacle. Leader Rickie Fowler now shares a record with the German.
Golf pro Martin Kaymer clearly missed the cut at the US Open after making too many mistakes on the second day.
The 38-year-old played a round of 73 at the Los Angeles Country Club and was six over par with a total of 146 strokes. All players made the cut with a maximum of two strokes over par. Kaymer saved after a total of five bogeys and one double bogey with four birdies on the last six holes at least a respectable result.
“Of course I fought to the end, I always do that. Giving up is not my thing,” said the 2014 champion of the German Press Agency. “But after the double bogey at twelve it’s difficult to start a comeback,” said Kaymer. “It was always difficult for me to make the cut. I just lack the training and match practice a bit.” Kaymer has had wrist problems for months.
Before the weekend, Rickie Fowler has the best chance of winning with ten under par. Wyndham Clark with 131 strokes is one shot behind in second place, followed by Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele with 132 strokes in third place. Fowler had a chance for a birdie on the 18th lane, but missed and now shares the opening record at the US Open with Martin Kaymer. The German only needed a total of 130 strokes on the first two days of his victory in 2014.
