McDowell happy to adjust sights

Graeme McDowell will begin his second round at the 110th US Open happy to have to recalibrate his scoring expectations for a challenge much stiffer than most weeks.

The in-form Northern Irishman has been used to some very low scoring of late, having won this month’s Celtic Manor Wales Open at 15 under par and placed fourth at the Madrid Masters the previous week after finishing on 17 under.
