WATCH: Former Ohio State golfer eagles Par 4 on opening hole of U.S. Open
WATCH: Former Ohio State golfer eagles Par 4 on opening hole of U.S. Open For those golf fans out there, another major event has come to a television or streaming device near you in the form of the U.S. Open. Things got started at Oakmont Country Club on Thursday, and former Ohio State golfer Maxwell Moldovan is a part of all the action once again. That in itself is newsworthy, but even more noteworthy is how Moldovan opened up the tournament. He hit a drive in a good spot off of tee No. 1, then proceeded to knock one stiff onto the green on the Par 4 hole. What happened next would be hard to believe if there weren't cameras to catch the action. The ball rolled onto the green and slowly made its way to the hole, where it trickled in for a two-shot eagle to open his round of the 125th U.S. Open. If you didn't get a chance to catch this unbelievable shot, you can re-live it thanks to the U.S. Open "X" account (formerly Twitter). Unfortunately for Moldovan, he couldn't keep a consistent round going and shot an opening round 76 (+6) and sits in a tie for No. 99 as the field gets ready for the second round on Friday. He is right on the projected cut line, so there is work to do coming home on Friday if Moldovan wants to make it to the third round on Saturday.

On the first hole of his first round at the 2025 U.S. Open Golf Championship, former Green and Ohio State golfer needed just two strokes to get his ball into the cup, earning him an eagle on the par-4 hole. Moldovan, who turned pro in June 2024 and in April won his first pro event at the PGA Tour Americas Brazil Open, was one of four players in a field of 83 to qualify out of Springfield Country Club, located in Springfield, Ohio. He put together rounds of 69-65 to go 5 under, which sent him to the U.S. Open. Advertisement This is his fourth straight year competing in the event.
