1:58 p.m.: The biggest shock of the day so far has to be Matt Fitzpatrick’s FIVE-UP lead through SEVEN holes against Bryson DeChambeau.

Still, on a setup that heavily favors length, it’s hard to believe Bryson hasn’t been able to keep it close.

The fans that line the holes at Bethpage Black have a reputation in the golf world – they’re loud, boisterous, occasionally rude and oftentimes vulgar.
