Any watcher of golf will tell you never, ever, ever to declare a winner before a tournament is over, but if we were ever to do so, we would surely do so after the second round of the 2011 U.S. Open. Rory McIlroy is in the clubhouse with an enormous lead, and nobody else on the leaderboard appears capable of catching up to him.
2011 U.S. Open Leaderboard Update: No One Looks Capable Of Catching Rory McIlroy
Presently, McIlroy’s closest competition is Y.E. Yang. The South Korean, who entered Round 2 at 3-under, has sustained a pair of bogeys on the back nine Friday. Through 14 holes, he’s 4-under for the tournament, well behind McIlroy’s 11-under.
As of this writing, only 12 players in the entire field are shooting under par for the tournament. Some are in the clubhouse, while some are still completing the home stretches of their second round. Here’s how the top of the leaderboard currently looks:
1. Rory McIlroy (-11)
2. Y.E. Yang (-4)
T3. Robert Garrigus (-2)
T3. Sergio Garcia
T3. Zach Johnson
