Ex-Tide star Bud Cauley shoots an even-par 71 in pro debut at U.S. Open

[pmull]

Balancing two birdies with two bogeys, former Alabama standout Bud Cauley shot an even-par 71 today as he made his pro debut in the first round of the U.S. Open in Bethesda, Md.

Cauley, who is skipping his senior season with the Crimson Tide, shot even par on both the back nine and the front side. He played the back nine first on the Blue Course at Congressional Country Club and started with two pars. He birdied No. 12, a par-4, and stayed at 1-under until he shot a five for a bogey on No. 18.

That's a very good round, that course is TOUGH!!

The afternoon players are still on the course but even par is an excellant score. Very few players are under par. Cauley currently is tied for 24th but only 1 shot out of a tie for 7th. He is only 3 shots off the lead.

This was a great first round in not only his first major but his first pro tournament. I hope he has a solid round tomorrow and mades the cut for the weekend.

It will be interesting to see if the winner will be under par. This course is only going to be tougher each day and it is very long, I 'm guessing the leaderboard will have many changes over the next three days.

Bud is holding on at the US Open. He is -1 after the 8th hole. He is in a tie for 8th at the moment. This is unreal for his first tournament. He has the tough part of the course coming up. The projected cut line is +4. TV is not giving him any love, I have not seen him yet.

I hope he gets a chance to grab some hot dogs when he takes the turn. Otherwise, all that beer from the front nine will start kicking in and...

This is the pros. They have kielbasa at the turn not hot dogs. You must be playing public courses.

We'll take you as a guest, but don't expect Kielbasa.

Bud is playing extremely well, if he could just get some of those birdie putts to fall.

McIlroy has really put on an exhibition, this kid has all of the shots. He has 36 holes to go, we'll just have to wait and see if the Masters comes back to haunt him, hopefully not.

Bud is not playing well he is playing good. He is -1 with thru 14 holes at the US Open. Unless he falls apart he is going to make the cut. Roll Tide

This year's Masters wasn't the first time for RM to fall apart on Saturday/Sunday.

I don't expect him to win but he is good good position to make the cut. I will pull for any Bama guy at this point. He is on the leaderboard at the US Open.

If he makes the cut he'll get plenty of TV love tomorrow. RTR
