SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Dylan Wu got the chance to lead off the weekend at the U.S. Open after making the cut by the skin of a 7-foot bogey putt.His first hole Saturday did not feature the same good fortune, and by the time his third round was over, Wu could only shake his head and chuckle at himself. Teeing off and playing in swirling winds, Wu five-putted No. 1 at Shinnecock Hills for a quadruple bogey on the way to a 12-over 82.“It was just kind of laughable,” Wu said afterward. “You kind of just have to laugh it off because you’re still trying, but you get to a point where you can’t really get too frustrated. It’s a great place, a great test of golf. It’s still a great place to play on Saturday.”Flags around the conspicuously difficult eastern Long Island course were whipping around pretty good by the time Wu and playing partner Jacob Bridgeman (who shot a 4-over 74) finished their round in the early afternoon. It was worse at 9 a.m. when they got started.
Wu said the wind was blowing around 23-24 mph and gusting to 35 mph, contributing to his opening drive going just 224 yards. The adventure really got going when he made it to the green and kept knocking the ball here, there and everywhere but the hole until tapping it in.
