ELMSFORD, N.Y. (June 20, 2009) — Coming into the 109th U.S. Open Championship, the three players with local ties had somewhat varying aspirations. Fairfield, Connecticut native J.J. Henry was looking to contend in an Open for the first time in five tries; Andrew Svoboda of Larchmont, N.Y., hoped to build on his performance last year, when he made the cut at Torrey Pines; and Creek head professional Sean Farren was eager to see how well he could perform in his first U.S. Open.

ELMSFORD, N.Y. (June 19, 2009) — Fairfield, Connecticut native J.J. Henry teed off at just past 10:20 this morning and shot a first-round 73. He began his second round at 4:52 p.m. and will complete as much of his second round as possible until tournament officials suspend play for darkness.

Henry had an up and down round, with birdies on the second and 16th holes to go along with his five bogeys.
