ERIN, Wis. Hideki Matsuyama appeared in danger of missing the cut after an opening-round 74 at the U.S. Open. But after turning things around in a big way, the Japanese phenom is now in contention to win his first major.Matsuyama came out firing Friday at Erin Hills, with birdies on six of his first eight holes to challenge the tournaments nine-hole scoring record. He ultimately shot a bogey-free 65, one that vaulted him to 5 under and within two shots of four co-leaders.Im very excited and very happy with the score, Matsuyama said. There were a couple of loose swings out there, but when you shoot 65, you can take those.Matsuyamas score equaled Chez Reavie for the days low round and tied the total Rickie Fowler posted to take the opening-round lead.

After hitting only 9/14 fairways and 9/18 greens in regulation during the first round, Matsuyama missed only one fairway and had birdie chances on 14 of the 18 greens. While the ball-striking numbers were up, the world No. 4 attributed his turnaround on the scorecard to his ability to hole putts by the handful.Shooting a good score today gave me a lot of confidence, he said. I really havent been hitting the ball well as of late. To shoot a good round like today, Im certainly looking forward to the weekend.Matsuyama was the hottest player in the world to close last year, but he has largely cooled since a playoff victory at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February that remains his last top-10 finish. But he now has a chance to break out of that mini-slump, and in the process has an eye on becoming the first Japanese man to win a major championship.I really cant think about it until maybe after I win, he said. But anytime a Japanese can win a major, it would be great for the golf world of Japan.
It had been a 'local control' issue all along. In retrospect that has turned out to be a real blessing as results on the ground go. Our volunteer organization, the Shoal Creek Volunteers, Inc. has had unstinting support as we implemented burn management, invasives control and canopy reduction in restoring barrens and flat-woods communities.

I have noticed that ever since I switched over to a titanium driver, when it starts to get dark I will see little sparks when I make contact with the golf ball. I have asked some of my friends if they ever see the same thing and they have all said no. Anyone else seen the sparks or am I just hallucinating.
