Brehaut enjoying spotlight

Journeyman professional Jeff Brehaut is intent on enjoying his time at the top of the US Open leaderboard, however long it lasts at Bethpage Black.

The 46-year-old Californian, a regular on the Nationwide Tour – the equivalent of the European Challenge Tour – after eight years on the PGA Tour until losing his card two years ago, woke up this morning as the co-leader of a major having played 11 holes of his opening round at one under par before heavy rain stopped play in New York.
