Masters breakout star Sam Bennett off to strong start at U.S. Open

Sam Bennett, who made headlines for his exceptional play at the Masters this year, is proving that his performance at Augusta was no fluke.

At one point, Bennett was in sole possession of second place at the Masters before ultimately finishing T16, tied with major winners Hideki Matsuyama and Justin Rose. He was awarded with the Silver Cup after his performance as the low amateur.

And now the reigning U.S. Amateur Champion is currently settled into the top 10 at the U.S. Open after shooting a 68 on Friday. Bennett had three birdies, 14 pars and one bogey.
