Harris Leads Open with 67 as Merion Tests Pros
Labron Harris, a pro who has never won a tour title, shot 67 to lead the U.S. Open after the opening round at Merion Golf Club. Doug Sanders, Bob Goalby, and Lanny Wadkins Jr. chased at 68, with Nicklaus, Nichols, and Jim Colbert at 69. The course’s final three holes humbled many. Harris survived a dangerous 18th with a 59-yard wedge to save par and hold a one-stroke edge over a crowded group. Meanwhile 150 players attended a Pirates tryout camp at Flaherty Field drawing 55 cities from PA, OH, and WV.
