Luke Donald of England chips the ball out of the sand on approach to the green at the 2nd hole on the first day of the US Open at San Francisco's Olympic Club, on June 14, in California. Donald couldn't find a single birdie, but bogeyed half his holes in a nine-over par 79 to see any chance that he could at last claim a first major title this week dwindle to virtually nil.
