The Latest: Henley has 1st struggles in US Open
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) The Latest on Friday’s second round of the U.S. Open (all times local):
11:20 a.m.
The first hole at Shinnecock Hills is the fourth-easiest hole on the course, but it isn’t playing that way for Tiger Woods.
Article continues below …
After a triple bogey on the par-4, 399-yard hole in the opening round, Woods had a double bogey on Friday. That’s half of the 10 strokes he’s lost to par on just one hole.
Woods’ tee shot with a 2-iron looked good, giving him a good lie on the right side of the fairway. But his approach went askew to the right and landed in the deep rough. His third shot rolled off the green and then he pitched to about 8 feet. He missed the bogey putt.
The cut was projected for 6 over in the morning, but that could creep lower if Shinnecock Hills continues to torment the golfers. Woods hasn’t made the cut at the U.S. Open since 2013.

Steve Kerr was pleasantly surprised to get a congratulatory text from Tiger Woods
Anadolu AgencyIf you're a casual fan of the NBA, the Golden State Warriors have become tough to root for. In addition to the team simply being too good (Thanks, Kevin Durant), the super squad boasts the league's most annoying (Draymond Green) and cocky (Steph Curry) players. But everyone still likes head coach Steve Kerr. Everyone, including Tiger Woods, apparently.
On Thursday, Kerr was asked on 95.7 The Game if he got any surprise texts following the Warriors' third NBA title in four years and he singled out the 14-time major champ.
“I don’t want to be a name-dropper but I guess the one that kind of (surprised me) was Tiger Woods,” Kerr said. “That was pretty cool.”
Name-drop all you want, Steve. You're the man. And we're talking about Tiger freaking Woods.
So how did these two guys become acquainted? Kerr is an avid golfer, but he went on to say in the interview that he and Tiger bonded “over our back problems” last year.
We're glad to see both guys are..

Woods starts with birdie in 2nd round of US Open
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) The second round of the U.S. Open on Friday has begun in much better fashion for Tiger Woods.
Woods triple-bogeyed his first hole on Thursday on the way to an 8-over-par 78 that left him nine shots behind the leaders. But in chillier conditions under cloudy skies, Woods birdied the par-4 10th, his opening hole.
Dustin Johnson, his playing partner and one of the leaders after the first round, also had a birdie, on No. 11. He is at 2 under, tied with Russell Henley, who has two birdies and a bogey through seven holes.

U.S. Open 2018: The oddest, most-Hamptons ephemera from around Shinnecock Hills
David CannonAfter a bloodbath of an opening round that left the world's most hardened golf mercs curled up in the fetal position begging for sweet, swift release, it's easy to forget that the 118th U.S. Open is actually smack dab in the heart of New York's most super-duper-uber-elite adult playland. An oddball (and ostentatiously wealth) coastal enclave, the Hamptons—and Shinnecock Hills by proxy—are one-of-a-kind, as a soggy lap around Wednesday's practice round proved. Trust us, whether you're slurping down buttery lobster two tables from Billy Joel or squishing across 9 like a maniac while trying to get a glimpse of Tiger on the range, you're never far from the lap of luxury.
