Tigerish Dougherty's stays positive

Despite shooting a seven-over-par 77 at Oakmont yesterday, US Open first-round leader Nick Dougherty managed to remain steadfastly positive.

Dougherty was unable to duplicate the performance that gave him the early lead but he is still well within striking distance heading into the weekend at the US Open – not to mention the fact that he has a pairing with Tiger Woods to look forward to today.
