At the par-3 8th (his 17th) Sam Burns hits his tee shot fully 301 yards. Yes, you did read that correctly. The 299-yard hole is a bit of a monster. The sort of thing to make course traditionalists tear out their hair like Viktor Hovland taking aim at a shot settled deep into this week’s rough. Burns shrugs and sets up a 13-foot birdie look which will see him join JJ Spaun in top spot … but it slips past. Daniel Berger played the back nine in a bogey-free -3. But we know the front nine is much more difficult and he’s sort of proved it by writing 5-3-8-6-3 on the card (bogey-birdie-quadruple bogey-bogey-birdie). “Pop a one on the end of that,” says David Howell on commentary, “and you’ve got my telephone number.” Most endearing was the way even he realised it was a naff joke and ended it in a bit of a mumble. An anguished cry from Jon Rahm at the short par-4 17th. His ball veers to the right and finds sand. He’s short-sided himself but could still make birdie. The cry, and the furious swipe of the club that accompanies it, feel more like modern-day Rahm frustration rather than the fuel in the belly anger that we saw when he won this championship in 2021. He’s +3 for the week so far from out of this. Among the big names labouring to make the weekend are: Joaquin Niemann (+7), Dustin Johnson (+9), Justin Thomas and Sepp Straka (+10) – all of them currently out on the course. Meanwhile, at the other end of the leaderboard it looks like this: -4: Spaun -3: Burns (15*), Lawrence -2: Hovland (15*), S Kim -1: Neergaard-Petersen (11*), B Griffin, Detry Want to see Victor Perez’s ace?!? Wait no more! “Major league chest bump,” cries the announcer. A 6-foot par putt at 9 for backmarker George Duangmanee. He needs it for a first par of the day. He’s 12-over through the 8th after yesterday’s 86. Come on, George, make the turn in style! The Virginian earned his spot through Final Qualifying so he’s no mug. He’s very inexperienced at this level, however (just his second start on the PGA Tour). He makes it! Push on George! Dustin Johnson appeared on screen just now, more for nostalgic reasons than anything to do with his scores. He carded 74-73 at the Masters and 78-76 in the PGA Championship. He opened with a 75 this week and is +2 for today through 14, in a fight to make the weekend. So is Scottie Scheffler but on +4 he’s more likely to play post-cut (he’s currently T40th). “What’s happened to Daniel Berger?!” emails Sam Henson. He’s become a bit of a smashed Berger is the corny answer, Sam. He was -1 for the week through 11 holes today but has just scratched an 8 at the par-4 3rd. He criss-crossed the green so often the graphic on the official scoring looks like someone has made an etch-a-sketch with their eyes closed. For a long while Sam Burns struggled to turn his winning PGA Tour form into anything substantial in the majors. He went 16 of them without recording a top 10 but was then ninth 12 months ago at Pinehurst in this championship. He got a bit lucky at Royal Troon, carding a third round 65 in nice conditions before watching the leaders tackle the back nine in filthy weather while he warmed his toes in the clubhouse. He ended Saturday in second but made a mess of the final round (an 80 for T31st). He was also T19th in the PGA Championship last month. He makes par at 5 to remain the pacesetter out on the course. Birdie for Sam Burns at the par-5 4th. As Scott mentioned earlier this week, he was defeated in a play-off on Sunday in the Canadian Open so is in good form. The man who defeated him, Ryan Fox, had a nice way of describing the slightly underwhelming extra holes. “We had a bit of a pillow fight there,” he admitted. Burns is looking good today. -4: Spaun -3: Burns (13*), Lawrence -2: S Kim -1: Hovland (12*), Berger (11*), Neergaard-Petersen (9*), B Griffin, Detry Oh-la-la from the Frenchman. Two or three bounces and then it scuttled down the hole like a hamster that had spotted a cat. A 192-yard blow and he now has a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and an 8 on his card today. He’s level-par for the day, +1 for the week, and currently T13th. Very un-Koepka-like US Open golf from Brooks Koepka at 4. It started well with a 322 yard drive to the fairway. But he found the right rough with his approach and, four shots later, he’s made a bogey-6 which is a fourth dropped shot in his last five holes. From contention to frustration in an hour. He’s +3 for the round and +1 for the week so far from out of it. Justin Thomas really struggles with keeping a big score off his card in the majors. Ahead of this week, he’d carded one round of 75+ in eight of his last 10 starts in them. It just puts him snug behind the 8-ball time and time again. Even when that didn’t happen in last month’s PGA Championship, he still missed the cut. The other exception in those last 10 majors was, however, a potent reminder of his quality: he won the 2022 PGA Championship. What did he score yesterday? You guessed it: a 76. Unfortunately, he’s on track for a repeat today at +4 through 12. Good info here. Note that the only four players on the course and under-par for the tournament have just, or are about to, hit the front nine. “Gosh, dang it!” cries Scottie Scheffler after he drags his tee shot at 3 into the church pews. It’s not quite Tyrrell Hatton levels of profanity, but on the Scheffler scale it counts as a potty mouth. A sign that he’s feeling the pressure? Maybe he’s human, after all. He can only lay up from Oakmont’s famous sand trap. How bad can it get around Oakmont? Ask (or maybe don’t, not at least until tomorrow morning) George Duangmanee. He carded a first round 86 and is currently +7 through four holes. Ouch. Meanwhile, the World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has made birdie at the 2nd. He’s back to +4 for the week. Playing partner Hovland’s woes at the same hole end with a double bogey. Another ouch. No cut problems for Viktor Hovland and Sam Burns. They’ve both completed bounce back birdies in the last few minutes and are -4 for their rounds and sitting inside the top five on the leaderboard. At the 2nd, however, Hovland found rough from the tee and can only hack his second shot forward into more trouble in sand. An enormous divot flew almost as far as his ball. It gets worse – he can only hack his ball backwards so is staring a double bogey in the face. Scottie Scheffler holds the follow through after thrashing his ball down the second fairway. The TV commentators are worried that he’s flirting with the cut. He’s +2 for the day, +5 for the week and the stats suggest he’ll need to be +6 at the worst to play the weekend. Of course, he wants to contend, not merely play the final 36 holes. So he needs something very special between now and signing his card. Did you see this putt in practice?! Scottie Scheffler’s first putt at 1 was not much shorter after his 135-yard approach came up 84-feet short. He three stabs from there. Sky Sports commentators putting the blame on the approach on Scheffler’s caddie Ted Scott and a bad yardage. Yikes. Having made bogey at 18 and 1 (he started the round on 10), Brooks Koepka found rough from the tee with an iron on the 359-yard 2nd, sand with his approach, and could only stop his ball 36 feet from the flag with his third. A two-putt makes it three bogeys in a row. No double bogey, though, which is one of the two-time US Open champion’s mantras. Thanks Scott. Significant moves from Viktor Hovland and Sam Burns today (they are -3 and -4 for their rounds). As fearsome as Oakmont is - and it is, of course, very fearsome - it has also witnessed two very famous hot streaks. Johnny Miller carded a final round 63 to win the 1973 US Open and Larry Nelson closed 65-67 to win 10 years later (his 132 was a championship low for the final 36 holes). And in-between John Mahaffey recovered from an opening 75 to record 67-68-66 to land the 1978 PGA Championship. Viktor Hovland can’t make his 20-foot par putt on 18. But he got close. It’s a dimple or two shy of dropping. Scottie Scheffler tidies up for his par, though; that’s a great scramble after the errant tee shot. Such a lovely wedge in. Meanwhile there are a few players currently under par for their round and threatening to break into red figures for the tournament: Emiliano Grillo with birdies at 17 and 3, Daniel Berger picking up shots at 11 and 12, the aforementioned Corey Conners with his birdies at 11 and 14. So here’s how things are looking now … -4: Spaun -3: Lawrence -2: Burns (9*), Hovland (9*), S Kim -1: Koepka (10*), B Griffin, Detry E: Grillo (12*), Morikawa (9*), Conners (8*), Berger (7*), Neergaard-Petersen (5*), Scott, MacIntyre … and with that, I’ll hand you over to Matt Cooper, who’ll treat you real good for the next few hours. See you a bit later! Brooks Koepka pays for a couple of mistakes on 1. His tee shot finds a fairway bunker, then after chipping out, his approach finds the green but stops well short of the flag. He can’t make the 33-foot putt to save his par, and drops back to -1 overall. Meanwhile back-to-back bogeys for Jon Rahm, at 8 and 9, and he’s out in 38, three-over for his round. He’s +2 overall, and teetering on the edge of tanty. The first wisps of smoke coming out of the lugs, for sure. Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland take their medicine on 18. After hacking out, Hovland sends his 9-iron from 150 yards pin high. He’ll have a 20-foot look at saving par. Scheffler then lobs gloriously from 138 yards to four feet, utilising the ridge running behind the flag as backstop. He'll fancy his chances of saving par from there. And what a par save it’d be, following his flat-stick shenanigans on the previous green. … but Scottie really isn’t bringing his best stuff to the party, and now he finds a fairway bunker down the right of 18. Viktor Hovland meanwhile yells “Dammit!” as he sends his tee shot into thick filth. Meanwhile up on the green, Sam Burns makes yet another birdie, his fourth of the day, and he’s played the back nine in 31 strokes. He’s -2 and will be absolutely cursing yesterday’s 5-5-5-5 finish. Mind you, having said that, could his tournament be taking a similar shape to Rory McIlroy’s Masters? Rory made a royal balls of the closing holes on Thursday, before getting things going in style on Friday. Sometimes you need that wake-up call. … and Scottie completely misreads his long putt from the front of the 17th green. He sends it 12 feet wide left and a similar distance past. Then the one coming back lips out, and slingshots five feet past the hole. Then he misses again, and that’s a bogey out of nowhere. I’m pretty sure his tee shot stopped just short of the green. Because if it didn’t, and made it on, that’ll officially be a four-putt for the world number one. Scheffler slips to +4, and for the first time, you begin to question him this week. Too early for that, right? -4: Spaun -3: Hovland (8*), Lawrence -2: Koepka (9*), S Kim -1: Burns (8*), B Griffin, Detry Eagle for Viktor Hovland at 17! His tee shot at the drivable par-four bumbles through the fringe and snuggles into the thick rough. No matter! He chips out, landing his ball one third of the way to the hole, then rolling it out in the tramliner style. It hits the flagstick and drops. The gallery roars! That’s huge. That might have gone a fair old distance past had it not dropped. He’s -3. Over to his playing partner Scottie … Brooks Koepka carves his tee shot at 18 into thick nonsense down the right. He’s forced to chip out. He lobs his third over the flag, but the ball refuses to spin back towards the cup. He’s left with a 25-footer coming back, down a ridge with a huge right-to-left break. He almost has to set it off at a right-angle. He should make the one coming back, but he’ll be dropping to -2 again. We’re back to eight players under par! Sam Burns sends his drive onto the fringe at the short par-four 17th, from where he sets himself up a four-footer for birdie. In it goes, and he moves to -1. Then in the group behind, Scottie Scheffler batters a fairway wood onto the apron. He’ll have a great chance to get up and down for birdie. Scottie Scheffler doesn’t panic. His tee shot at 16 topples into the thick greenside rough, and this time his chip out is severely underhit. He’s left with a 12-footer to avoid back-to-back bogeys. He calmly sizes it up, and rattles it straight into the middle of the cup. He remains at +3, hanging on in there, waiting for his best stuff, which will surely come along sooner or later. Corey Conners had never made the cut at the US Open until last year. Five appearances, five misses, then a top-ten finish at Pinehurst. He’s clearly developing a taste for this tournament, as he shot 72 yesterday and has opened his round today with birdies at 11 and 14. The 33-year-old Canadian is level par. Another bogey for Im Sung-jae. He can’t get up and down from greenside sand at 5, and slips back to level par. There are now just seven players under par. One of those is Brooks Koepka, who makes an outrageous birdie at the drivable 17th. His tee shot ends up on a downslope in front of a greenside bunker. It’s covered in filthy rough. He’s chipping over sand, and shortsided, the flag tucked in a nook behind the trap. So he crisply whips over the bunker, his ball landing an inch shy of the fringe, then squirting out of the thick stuff and onto it. One more inch, and that would surely have been close, one of the shots of the week. It’s still pretty darn good, and from the fringe he delicately chips in. Sheer artistry. Brooks back to within a shot! -4: Spaun -3: Koepka (8*), Lawrence -2: S Kim -1: Hovland (6*), B Griffin, Detry … so having given Scottie the big set-up, he clatters a clumsy chip 20 feet past the cup. He was clinging to the side of a steep greenside bank, one foot planted high above the other, but the lie was decent, and you’d expect him to do so much better. He can’t make the putt coming back, and that’s his first bogey of the day. Pretty much what the drive deserved, if we’re being honest, but nine times out of ten you’d expect him to get up and down from that position and get away with it. He’s back where he started the day at +3. Golf Is Hard II. Scottie Scheffler, the world number one, slips mid-drive at 15. His feet slide all over the shop, his shoulders shudder, his arms jingle and jangle independently of each other. Legs kinked in both directions. A final baroque flourish with the hands, as though he’s trying to draw a treble clef in mid-air. Imagine Jarvis Cocker trying to play golf. Very strange. He’s lucky to find sand instead of knee-high rough, then sends his next shot into the heart of the green. Of course he does. It topples off the side, and he’ll have work to do to get up and down from the thick surround for his par, but that’s pretty much the best he could expect from where he found himself. Amazing how he can keep calm and reset so quickly. It Could Be Worse dept. Spare a thought for poor Will Chandler. The 28-year-old from Georgia made his US Open debut yesterday and shot 78. That eight-over struggle will feel like Salad Days today. He’s just played the front nine in 47 strokes, 12-over for his round. Two pars, four bogeys, two double bogeys and a quadruple. He opened 6-6-8-6. Adding insult to injury, he set himself up with a birdie chance on 9, sending an iron from 163 yards to six feet, only to miss the putt. He’s +20. Golf is hard. James Nicholas came in very late last night with a 69. Not too shabby a first-ever round in US Open competition for the 28-year-old from New York state. But he’s started scrappily this morning. A double-bogey six on 1, the result of finding sand off the tee, then a missed short putt. He’s +1 and now there are just eight players under par for the tournament. -4: Spaun -3: Lawrence -2: Koepka (6*), S Kim -1: Im (4), Hovland (4*), B Griffin, Detry Scottie Scheffler chips delicately out of the thick greenside rough at 13. Up to four feet, and he makes his par saver. Viktor Hovland can’t find the cup with his left-to-right birdie slider, though. He remains at -1. But some trouble for Brooks Koepka on 15, where his tee shot disappears into a penalty zone to the right of the fairway. He’s able to swipe it back out, mind, but can only send his approach to 20 feet. In fact he’s fairly fortunate his ball doesn’t topple back down the false front. In the end, he nearly drains the par putt, but that’s his second bogey of the day. Back to -2 for Brooks. Jon Rahm considers throwing a little tanty. A birdie chance on 4 from six feet. Having been given a good read by Jordan Spieth, whose ball kinks off to the left on its final turn, he learns nothing whatsoever, repeating the mistake but from significantly shorter distance. He batters the ground with the bottom of his putter but then takes a deep breath, and a moment to reflect, before tidying up for par. He remains at level par. Hey, he’s often at his best when he runs hot. Opening bogey for Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, meanwhile; the young Dane drops to level par and off our leaderboard. -4: Spaun -3: Koepka (5*), Lawrence -2: S Kim -1: Im (3), Hovland (3*), B Griffin, Detry, Nicholas In the group behind Burns: Viktor Hovland. And he’s started fast as well. He follows his aforementioned birdie at 10 with another at the par-five 12th. He’s -1. Now he’s sent a lovely iron into the heart of the par-three 13th to set up another birdie chance from 12 feet. Problems for his playing partner Scottie Scheffler, though; his tee shot doesn’t quite reach the green and sticks in the thick surround. That won’t be an easy chip. Sam Burns suffered a nightmare finish last night: 5-5-5-5, the last four holes played in five-over par. He signed for a 72 that had promised so much more. But last week’s Canadian Open runner-up has repaired much of the damage in short order, with birdies at 11 and now 13. He’s back to level par and suddenly looking much happier with life. Ryan Fox is having a rare old caper. Birdie, bogey, par, birdie, bogey, birdie. The last two holes illustrate the up-and-down nature of his round. On 14, he zig-zags up the hole and is left with a 50-footer for par. He races that 12 feet past the hole … then makes the one coming back to limit the damage. Then on 15, he sends a 200-yard fairway-bunker shot to eight feet, and tidies up for birdie. Up and down all right. He’s +1 and still high on life after his Canadian Open win and that 3-wood. Jon Rahm makes his par at 3, having visited the 4th fairway, then finds the same stretch of short grass again with his next tee shot. His partner Jordan Spieth meanwhile could do with finding a fairway or two: he sends his effort from the tee box into more oomska, and he’s going to run up quite the score if his driver keeps behaving like this. Probably shouldn’t have made such a big thing of Jordan Spieth’s street-fighting smarts. A scrambled par on 1, but having dropped a stroke back there at 2, he’s gotten wild off the tee again on 3, leading to another bogey. You can’t keep making mid-range par savers. He’s +2 and suddenly looks a little pensive. … so with that Brooks birdie, let’s update the leaderboard for the first time today. Im Sung-jae heads the other way, having come a cropper on the false front of the 2nd green, his ball toppling back down the fairway. -4: Spaun -3: Koepka (3*), Lawrence -2: S Kim -1: Im (2), B Griffin, Detry, Neergaard-Petersen, Nicholas Brooks Koepka finds the par-five 12th in two big bloots, then nearly makes the eagle putt from 26 feet. Not quite, but that’s back-to-back birdies for Brooks, a fine response to that opening bogey. He closes in on the lead at -3. But not such good news for his playing partner Justin Thomas, who three-putts from three feet and chalks up a double bogey. JT shot 76 yesterday, and surviving the cut is already looking like a pipe dream. He’s +9. Jordan Spieth can’t make his par putt on 2. He slips back to +1. Also heading in the wrong direction is his playing partner, the 2021 champion Jon Rahm. The 30-year-old Spaniard is busy rediscovering his major-championship form after some mixed experiences of late, and opened with a fine 69 yesterday. But his first shot this morning found a fairway bunker and led to bogey. He’s level par now, and has just hit another wild tee shot, this time so far left at 3 that he clears the Church Pew bunker and ends up on the 4th fairway. No real harm done there. Sheer brilliance from Scottie Scheffler on 11. His tee shot bounds towards a bunker down the left of the track, but sticks in the rough to its side. Standing in the trap with the ball way above his feet, he’s forced to take his medicine, clipping back onto the fairway. But then the cream rises. He sends his approach scampering past the hole, the ball screeching to a halt and spinning back, nearly dropping into the cup. Another 11 inches and it’d have been an outrageous birdie. It’s still a pretty amazing par. Kids, be like Scottie, keep calm and take your medicine. That stuff’s good for you. A bounce-back birdie for Brooks Koepka at the short par-four 11th. He’s -2 again. But back on 2, real trouble for Jordan Spieth, who takes a shy at the green from the thick rough down the right, but only manages to advance his ball a yard or so. The grass murderously throttling the hosel there. His second attempt is much more successful, and he finds the green, though he’ll need to sink a 25-footer if he’s to escape with par again. … and ah yes, there’s Spieth flaying his tee shot at 2 into deep trouble down the right. Oh Jordan. Good luck with that. Elsewhere, a couple of big early birdies. Viktor Hovland rakes one in from the fringe at 10, a huge swinging right-to-left 52-footer that earns a huge roar from the gallery. The popular Norwegian moves back to level par. And he’s going round with Scottie Scheffler, who makes birdie too, but in more traditional style, finding the centre of the green before steering in an uphill 20-footer. He’s +2 and here he comes! If anyone has the mix of street-fighting savvy and short-game magic to hold Oakmont at arm’s length, it’s surely Jordan Spieth. The 2015 champ has been showing signs of emerging from his recent slump, and shot 70 yesterday, a most acceptable start to his hunt for a second US Open. He’s started today in trademark style: a loose tee shot that ends up in the thick stuff, necessitating the taking of medicine. Once he chips out, he spins his approach from 100 yards to five feet, and tickles in the putt to save his par. If he can get the driver behaving – admittedly a big if for the Seve-esque wild man – he’ll be in with a shout this week. Conditions are very similar to yesterday. Warm but not oppressive; a little bit of moisture in the air to keep the course responsive; not much in the way of wind. On Sky Sports, David Howell suggests today’s scoring will be very similar too. So don’t expect too many of the lads ripping it up: only one player was bogey-free yesterday, the leader JJ Spaun, and his round was only the second bogey-free card in the last 1,037 US Open rounds at Oakmont. Scottie Scheffler was uncharacteristically sloppy yesterday. But then Oakmont can do that to a golfer, even the world’s very best. He’s far from out of contention after yesterday’s three-over 73, but he can’t afford the same again. His first shot of the day is a driving iron that splits the 10th fairway. Big couple of hours coming up for the world number one. The 2017 and 2018 champion Brooks Koepka finished strongly last night with birdies at 17 and 18. He’s not started so well this morning, however. His opening tee shot at 10 drifts into rough down the right. He can’t reach the green with his second, and though he gives himself a chance of redemption by wedging to ten feet, the putt’s missed, and the errant drive has cost him an opening bogey. He’s -1. Day one wasn’t exactly carnage – the course was relatively soft and receptive after rain earlier in the week, while there was little wind – but unless storms come at the weekend, something not yet certain, it’s not going to get any easier. And despite it all, there were only ten players in a field of 156 who finished the first round under par. -4: JJ Spaun -3: Thriston Lawrence -2: Kim Si-woo, Brooks Koepka, Im Sung-jae -1: Ben Griffin, Thomas Detry, Jon Rahm, Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, James Nicholas However there are very few big-name players not on that list who have played themselves out of it. Not Scottie and Bryson at +3, nor Rory and 54-year-old Phil the Thrill at +4. But the margins for error are smaller now. Should make for a great Moving-into-Moving-Day Day! Actually, let’s not make that a thing. Here are the tee times (USA unless stated, all times BST, (a) denotes amateur). It’s on!
