Weber is off to a solid start at the US Open
US Open
On the beautiful pebble beach, the Groningen rider proved she has what it takes to become a permanent fixture on the LPGA, having had a rough start to a season so far without being allowed to start.
In heavily occupied US Open, Webber qualified thanks to a strong qualifying race, and the Dutchman also performed well on the California coast. Weber is currently tied for 38th with a +2, and while that’s a good ranking, in a field that’s close, it’s only one stroke over the cutline.
There are no less than 27 players with the same score playing in a friendly at Pebble Beach, while the gap at the top isn’t huge either. Xiyu Lin and Hyo Joo Kim lead the field at -4, but more than twenty players have not progressed under par, while world No. 1 Jin Young Ko couldn’t even break 79.
DB World Tour
Conditions were not easy there Made in Himmerland In Denmark. “The conditions were bad when we started. We missed most of the rain, but it was really windy, so we had to make changes all the time. I think the wind made a difference of thirty meters or more,” Dan Huising said after his opening round with three under par (five birdies and two bogeys) put him at the top of the standings. ‘I love playing at this level, it’s a good challenge. I finished well here last year and started well this year. Let’s try to build on that now.’
Johannes Wiermann also started the race well in the Himmerland. The Dutchman, playing under the American flag, won three without conceding a stroke through eighteen holes and finished third, as did Dan Huising, three shots behind Scottish leader Robert. MacIntyre immediately made a hole-in-one with a -6.
Challenge Tour
After the first round Italian Open Only Keet van der Wiele is in good shape in the Challenge Tour race. The Dutchman, who moved up through promotion at Battleground, is 35th at Viterbo with a round at two under. Lars van Meijel signed a round of par and therefore finished 67th, while Vince van Veen (+2, T99) and Koen Kouwenaar (+5, T138) will have to work hard to be there for the weekend.
