Coming into the U.S. Open, the talk about Winged Foot was how difficult it would play and how an over-par score might be good enough to win.

The course no doubt continues to be a major story line, but so is some of the shot-making we’ve seen over the first two days.

A ridiculous putt by Zach Johnson during Thursday’s first round is the shot of the week so far. His putt is one of many that are just so fun to watch.

But Johnson isn’t alone in the shot-making department at Winged Foot.

We’ve seen two holes-in-one so far. They both came on the 7th hole on Thursday. The first by Patrick Reed, who one-hopped his ball into the cup. A few hours later, Will Zalatoris aced the 7th. He almost had another one but his ball on the 13th green clanged off the flagstick. (And if you looked closely at his scorecard, you’d have noticed his scores on the four par 3s: 1-2-3-4).

On Friday, we saw some more amazing shots.

Matthew Fitzpatrick’s second shot on the par-4 15th hole finds nothing but cup:

J.T. Poston with a crazy one-handed backward swing:

Harris English from the bunker. Watching this you think he pulls it way too far left, but….

Cole Hammer with a long putt up and over the slope:

Bryson DeChambeau eagled the ninth, his last hole, on Friday, thanks to a 380-yard drive and a second shot that landed six feet away from the cup:

The pin position on No. 1 is also giving players a chance to use the slope to their advantage:
