Martin Kaymer turned in a record-setting first two rounds at the U.S. Open, setting the Pinehurst course record for low round in a U.S. Open and setting the 36-hole U.S. Open record in the process. At 10-under, he holds a six-stroke lead heading into the weekend. Now, the question is can he continue to roll along all the way to the second major championship of his career.
U.S. Open tee times 2014: Martin Kaymer, Brendon Todd set for the final group on Saturday
After scorching Pinehurst No. 2 during the first two rounds of the U.S. Open, Martin Kaymer will take center stage in the final pairing on Saturday.
He’ll be the focus on moving day at Pinehurst with the rest of the field chasing. Kaymer played in the morning wave on Friday, but as the 36-hole leader will be the last player to tee off on Saturday. He will be joined in the final pairing by Brendon Todd, who is 4-under. It’s been hard to find a flaw in Kaymer’s form thus far. He’s hit the ball well off the tee, is among the leaders in greens in regulation and has just one bogey in 36 holes. Leading a U.S. Open on the weekend can add pressure, but Kaymer is an accomplished player and has excelled on the weekend in big tournaments before.
Unless Kaymer falters significantly, the rest of the field will need to go very low to make up the ground. Kevin Na and Brandt Snedeker are tied for third place at 3-under and will be paired in the second-to-last group of the third round. Five players are 2-under through 36 holes, including Dustin Johnson. He fired back-to-back 69s and will play with Brooks Koepka. Brendon de Jonge and Keegan Bradley will form another late afternoon tee time while Henrik Stenson will tee off with Matt Kuchar. Jordan Spieth at 1-under and Adam Scott at even have even more ground to make up. The two will be paired together in the third round, scheduled to tee off at 2:19 p.m. ET.
