Weaver shoots 69 in first round of the U.S. Open

Former Virginia Tech golfer Drew Weaver shot a one-under-par 69 in the rain-delayed first round of the 109th U.S. Open Championship at the Bethpage State Park’s Black Course on Friday morning.

When the rains came and play was stopped on Thursday, Weaver was two-over-par through 10 holes. As play resumed Friday morning, Weaver birdied three of his final eight holes for his 69. At one point in the morning, he was atop the leaderboard.

Weaver will play his second round Saturday, teeing off at 10:11 a.m.
