Cink among four on lead at St. Jude

“The key to my round today was the key to anyone’s round who plays well here and that is you’ve got to keep the ball in front of you,” Cink said. “Meaning, you don’t have to hit every fairway, but you can’t really be off too much.”

Tee times for next week’s U.S. Open were released Thursday and defending champion Dustin Johnson will be in the same group with Jordan Spieth and Martin Kaymer, making it a threesome of the most recent winners.

Johnson won last year at Oakmont, Spieth won in 2015 at Chambers Bay and Kaymer won in 2014 at Pinehurst No. 2.

They start at 8:35 a.m. CDT on the 10th hole Thursday, and will be in the afternoon wave off the first tee Friday.

Phil Mickelson, who said he will skip the U.S. Open because his daughter’s high school graduation in California starts at 10 a.m. PDT (noon Central) on Thursday, was placed in a 2:20 p.m. group, so unless something changes, Mickelson will not be able to make his tee time.

Suzann Pettersen and Mi Hyang Lee each shot an 8-under 64 to share the first-round lead at the Manulife LPGA Classic in Cambridge, Ontario. Hyo Joo Kim, Gonzalez Escall and Shanshan Feng were one shot back at 65.
