LOS ANGELES - It played 124 yards during the first round. In the second round, it played 115 yards.
What is the number for Saturday's third-round?
The par-3 15th hole at Los Angeles Country Club measures 81 yards. The front pin position and the fact that the tees are pushed up to the hole make it the shortest ever par 3 in U.S. Open modern history.
Three aces have already been recorded at the U.S. Open this week. They all came on the par-3 short hole.
Matthieu Pavon, of France, started the week off with his first ace. Sam Burns did the same thing Thursday. Matt Fitzpatrick, the defending U.S. Open champion, did it again on Friday. At first it looked like he didn't know what he was doing.
