Svoboda finished at the U.S. Open

June

Andrew Svoboda came out looking to make birdies. There was quite a bit of ground to make up after opening with an 80, and he was able to climb.

The Larchmont resident was 3-under through seven holes today before he ran into trouble.

A double bogey at the eighth stole the momentum. Svoboda lost strokes on Nos. 9 and 10, as well and wound up carding a 4-over 74.

“I knew I had to shoot 3- or 4-under today,” he said. “I was 3-under through 7, but 8, 9 and 10 just hurt.

“We had the tough end of the draw for sure. Those guys had it made yesterday — no rain, no wind. Even today it was tough for us. We had rain. Sometimes you’re on the right end, sometimes your on the wrong end.”
