Suber Shocks with 65, Young Revives | Spokane News

Jackson Suber stunned the field with a blistering 65 in his Open debut, becoming only the fourth player ever to shoot that low in their first round at this championship. His precision on the greens—just 24 putts, gaining over three strokes—powered a late surge, including an eagle on 17, to finish 4-under on the final five holes. He joins a lineage of breakout rookies who’ve led after day one, including Young, Lamprecht, and Brown, with Spieth’s 2017 win the last time such a lead turned into victory. Dan Brown matched Suber’s pace with a 66, his best opening round since June 2025, while Sungjae Im also shot 66, posting a personal best. Cameron Young, despite recent putting woes, bounced back with a 3-under 69, gaining strokes on the greens and showing signs of a breakthrough. Meanwhile, Bryson DeChambeau, after a shaky start to the majors, turned it around with a 67, his short game firing on all cylinders and his greens-in-regulation efficiency defying history.
