Rest up boys, this one is going to be a long fight.
Perhaps Padraig Harrington's succinct, one-word answer to the final question he got from reporters after Thursday's opening round at Scioto Country Club summarized what the 2026 U.S. Senior Open field faced in the three days ahead.
"Rest," said Harrington, who carded a 1-under 69.
The reigning U.S. Senior Open champ who defeated Stewart Cink at The Broadmoor a year ago was asked what his approach would be for the remaining 54 holes in Columbus, Ohio, where temperatures are expected to hover over 90 degrees throughout the tournament.
First round co-leader Charlie Wi shot a 67 thanks to a run of five consecutive birdies on the first nine holes at Scioto but also admitted he was taking a slower strategy after the round than he would in other weeks.
