SHOT OF THE DAY

Tampa resident Ryuji Imada made birdie on the par-3 11th hole and felt a little shortchanged.

Imada's tee shot from 221 yards hit short of the hole and rolled straight at the pin before it lipped out. He finished the day at 3-over 74.

HOLE OF THE DAY

No. 12

The 504-yard par 4 played into the wind and was a monster, with the field's scoring average more than a half-shot over par.

Five players made birdie, while 73 took bogeys. Eleven more had doubles and there was one triple.

BY THE NUMBERS

Length in yards of the Torrey Pines' sixth hole, the longest par 4 in major championship history.

Members of the Tway family working at Torrey Pines. When 19-year-old amateur Kevin Tway of Oklahoma State qualified for the U.S. Open, his father, 1986 PGA Championship winner Bob Tway, came along as his caddie.

Shots used by Patrick Sheehan on the par-4 15th hole trying to get out of the rough after missing the green with his approach. Sheehan, among the leaders at the time, made triple and finished at even par.

Holes played by Mark Calcavecchia before withdrawing, citing leg problems. He was 8 over at the time.
