BROOKLINE, Mass. — As Will Zalatoris’ drive on No. 18 whipped into the wind and took a hard right, soaring over the grandstand and nestling up next to another, he almost seemed to enjoy it.
He had a similar reaction when he came nowhere close on a 9-foot par putt.
Zalatoris smiled. He looked at his caddie and laughed. In both cases, he recovered with some quality emergency golf that has left him in prime position at the U.S. Open.
