US EditionMark Hensby Holds Onto an Early Lead at US Senior Open, Even After Tricky Broadmoor Takes Its Toll
- Padraig Harrington and Mark Hensby share the first-round lead at 3-under-par 67 at the 2025 US Senior Open in Colorado Springs.
- The challenging altitude and layout at Broadmoor Golf Club, along with a softened course from a recent thunderstorm, shaped players' scores and affected their performances.
- Hensby got off to a brilliant start, recording seven birdies before the turn, but struggled on the back nine with five bogeys, whereas Harrington carded four birdies in the first half and finished the back nine one over par.
- Harrington reflected that he was four strokes under after eight holes and felt he might have done even better, while Hensby admitted he played poorly on the back nine and believed he left some opportunities unfulfilled.
- With only 17 rounds under par out of 156 players, the tight leaderboard suggests a demanding tournament ahead where consistent play is key to maintaining the lead.
