The closest one stroke behind was Pablo Larr\u00e1zabal, with 71 (+1).   <\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">The Spaniard is in 36th place and is six strokes behind the leader, German Martin Kaymer (65), and three strokes behind the runners-up, Northern Ireland&#8217;s Graeme McDowell, Zimbabwe&#8217;s Brendon de Jonge and Americans Fran Quinn and Kevin Na (68).  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">Miguel \u00c1ngel Jim\u00e9nez (72), Sergio Garc\u00eda (73) and Gonzalo Fern\u00e1ndez-Casta\u00f1o (76) were less successful in their debut. All three will have to tighten up today on the second day to earn the right to play this weekend on this difficult course, where only fifteen players have managed to go under par on the first day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">The Spanish foursome will play at Pinehurst against almost all the best golfers in the world, with the almost unique absence of Tiger Woods, who c<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">ontinues to recover from the operation he underwent on March 31 (a microdiscectomy to alleviate the<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">on March 31 (a microdiscectomy to relieve pain caused by a pinched nerve in his back).<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">.

The former is having a remarkable season, as is the latter, who also recently won the Spanish Open. Gonzalo Fern\u00e1ndez-Casta\u00f1o, on the other hand, is still in a period of adaptation to the PGA, and this week will be important for him. The last to arrive has been Pablo Larraz\u00e1bal, who has only missed three cuts in 2014 and still has his victory in Abu Dhabi in his mind.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>Photo: Martin Kaymer<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Open, which brings together at Pinehurst Resort, North Carolina, the best players in the world, with the exception of Tiger Woods, who is still on leave, has not started very well for the four Spaniards in contention, none of whom has even been able to match the par of the course.
