Former Jayhawk Gary Woodland wins U.S. Open
Former Kansas Jayhawk g2olfer Gary Woodland won the 119th U.S. Open Golf Tournament on Sunday.
Standing at the 17th tee on the final day of the U.S. Open, Gary Woodland was 12 under par and 2 strokes ahead of Brooks Kopeka as the current tournament leader. Kopeka, the number one golfer in the world and back-to-back U.S. Open Champion, was about to tee off on the 18th.
All of the pressure in the world was on Woodland. He’s had a very long and successful career on the PGA Tour, but he’s never been in a situation like this.
And on one of the most famous holes in golf, with the entire sports world watching, Woodland would go on to hit arguably his worst shot of the weekend.
