Mark Hensby Holds Onto an Early Lead at US Senior Open, Even After Tricky Broadmoor Takes Its Toll
- Australian golfer Mark Hensby holds the first-round lead at the US Senior Open with a 3-under 67 at Broadmoor Golf Club, tied with Padraig Harrington.
- A massive thunderstorm on Tuesday soaked and softened Broadmoor’s East Course at 6,000-foot altitude, creating challenging conditions that affected players’ scoring and mental states.
- Hensby started with seven birdies in nine holes, then faltered with bogeys, finishing at 3-under 67 at Broadmoor.
- Hensby’s 67 ties him with Harrington at the top, one stroke ahead of seven players, with highs near 90°F and rain expected.
- Reflecting on 2018, David Toms won at 3-under, contrasting with Hensby's current pace; Clarke is four shots behind after a 71.
