08/24/2010 - University Place, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chambers Bay's showcase for the 2015 United States Open featured stunning vistas, rolling hills and difficult scoring conditions in the first round of stroke play at the United States Amateur.
Jeff Wilson wouldn't know.
The Fairfield, California native was busy blistering the Home Course, which yielded 20 of the 23 under-par scores on Monday. A solid three-under 33 on the shorter back nine allowed Wilson to make the turn in a share of the lead.
Then a blitz unlike anything seen all day in the great Northwest left a large margin between Wilson and the rest of the field. He parred the first two holes before draining a birdie at the par-4 third. He made it two in a row at the long par-3 fourth then added another deuce to his score on the nearly as long par-3 sixth. Fireworks ensued at the end, as Wilson eagled the par-5 eighth and holed his second shot for eagle and a back nine score of 29 at the ninth.
The first-round of 10-under-62 left him seven shots clear of a nine-man crew highlighted by Patrick Reed, the only man in the group to navigate the more difficult Chambers Bay in three-under-par. The scenic course overlooking water on the Northwest shore was awarded the 2015 United States Open back in February 2008.
Reed, a native of Augusta, Georgia, worked his way through the 7,700-yard-plus layout with three birdies, two bogeys and one hole-out eagle at the 521-yard, par-4 14th hole. He made two of his birdies and just one bogey on the front nine - a 3,972-yard monster.
The other two under-par scores shot at par-71 Chambers Bay belonged to Patrick Rodgers (69) and Patrick Cantlay (70). Defending champion Byeong-Hun An, the youngest champion at 17 years old last year, fired a two-under-par 70 at the Home Course, leaving him with Rodgers in a share of 11th place.
Play was suspended at 8:17 p.m. local time because of darkness. The players left to complete the first round will resume play at 7:00 a.m. local time.
Of the 40 rounds finished at par or better, just seven came from Chambers Bay. Each player will play both courses over the two rounds of stroke play while Chambers Bay will host the match-play rounds.
The two days of stroke play will identify a low 64, and the first round of match play begins on Wednesday. The second and third rounds are scheduled for Thursday. The quarterfinals will be Friday, the semifinals on Saturday and the 36-hole final is on tap for Sunday.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
