The course at The Country Club has proven difficult for many of the golfers competing in Brookline this week, but there have been a few moments of brilliance.

Cameron Young hit one of the best shots of the U.S. Open during Friday's second round when he nailed a hole-in-one on the Par-3 6th hole.
It's the 48th hole-in-one in the history of the U.S. Open.
"I've been hitting it right all week, so I flipped an 8-iron, and kind of went straight at it, and by some miracle it went in," Young said when asked about his hole-in-one. "I really don't know."
The second round was a bit of a roller coaster for Young. He hit four birdies, four bogeys, a hole-in-one and one quadruple-bogey. He shot 2-over par both days and missed the cut by one stroke.

"It's hard to sit here and be that pleased that I made a hole-in-one when I missed the cut," Young admitted.
It ultimately was a disappointing finish for Young, but at least he'll always be part of U.S. Open history with his hole-in-one.
