Amateur Stuns Open at Atlanta in first round lead
Mike Reid, 21, amateur from Brigham Young University, shot a three under par 67 to lead the 76th U S Open after the opening round at the Atlanta Athletic Club. Despite heavy frustration from players over course conditions, Reid held a three shot edge over pros including Ray Floyd and Al Geiberger as the field wilted with bogeys and a sprinkler mishap. Reid, son of a retired Air Force colonel, endured a peripatetic upbringing and rare spotlight as he pursues his best round.
