Golfer made unique U.S. Open history on Sunday

Keith Mitchell made U.S. Open history at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club by becoming the first golfer to post a 29 on the front nine in the tournament's opening round on Thursday, June 19, 2026. He followed that with three more rounds of even-par 70, setting a new record for four consecutive even-par rounds at the U.S. Open. Despite finishing at even par for the tournament, Mitchell's week was turbulent, including 13 bogeys, a double-bogey, 13 birdies, and an eagle.
