Lingmerth was in the same qualifier and had to play 36 holes and then some because of a 5-for-1 playoff for the final spot. That went to Hayden Buckley - he was among those at 68 on Thursday - and Lingmerth was first alternate. Dahmen debated whether to go a 36-hole qualifier 10 days ago in Ohio. The US Open is hard and he has been beat up from travel and pedestrian results. But now it's time for golf, and there a vibe of relief that focus could turn to a US Open that first came to Brookline more than a century ago. He couldn't save par on that one and had to accept a 67 - not a bad start, and no apologies for his few outbursts of emotion. It was his second straight major - and third time in his last four US Opens - he opened with a score par. Even with a good start, and coming off a victory last week in the Canadian Open, it doesn't figure to be easy. He hit that into another bunker, and then twice slammed the club into the sand out of frustration. "It's hard not to get frustrated because I'm walking up there going, 'Just come back into the bunker.' The thickest rough on the course is around the edges of the bunker. McIlroy has become a leading voice on the PGA Tour over the last few years, particularly with his rebuke of the Saudi-funded series that is disrupting golf. Thursday was more about birdies and bogeys - mostly the latter in a US Open - and a place in history. He leads by one shot over five players, including Rory McIlroy.

Despite a fine start at the year's third major, the Northern Irishman got into a spot of bother on the 14th – and took it out on his clubs.

Lingmerth was in the same qualifier and had to play 36 holes and then some because of a 5-for-1 playoff for the final spot. Dahmen debated whether to go a 36-hole qualifier 10 days ago in Ohio. The US Open is hard and he had been beat up from travel and pedestrian results. But now it's time for golf, and there a vibe of relief that focus could turn to a US Open that first came to Brookline more than a century ago. For McIlroy, it was his second straight major – and third time in his last four US Opens – he opened with a score under par. No other major is more open – roughly half the 156-man field has to qualify – and it showed. His previous low score in a major was 68 on three occasions, most recently the first round of the 2020 PGA Championship at Harding Park. That went to Hayden Buckley – he was among those at 68 – and Lingmerth was first alternate. A beautiful mind crunching all the player stats. But it was a driveable par four, you're thinking of making birdie, and all of a sudden you're scrambling for par.” Lee, meanwhile, had a disastrous opening as he bogeyed three of the first seven holes. “It's hard not to get frustrated because I'm walking up there looking at my ball and going like, just come back into the bunker,” he said. “So I was sort of cursing the [US Open organisers] USGA... but it's one of those things that happens here and not really anywhere else.

Fox's putter went cold on the back nine but feels his game is in good shape. Danny Lee has even more ground to make up starting the day on six over par. GOLF ...

Ryan Fox believes he's very much in contention despite a sluggish start to his US Open campaign 17 June 2022 Ryan Fox believes he's very much in contention despite a sluggish start to his US Open campaign

The action is underway at The Country Club with Adam Hadwin in the lead, Rory McIlroy nipping at his heels and Adam Scott leading the Aussie charge.

17 Jun 2022 U.S. Open Round One Tee Times (AEST) Here are the tee times for round two converted into Australian Eastern Standard Time. Australians are in bold.

And his opening round showed his intent. It wasn't just about the birdies – four of them in total – but as much about the par saves, the ability to ...

He then followed up with birdies on the sixth and the par-five seventh to move into the outright lead on four under, only to drop his only shot of the round on the ninth – where a poor approach pushed into greenside rough led to a gentle throw of the offending club in front of him – and, finally, he proved fallible in failing to get up and down to save par. Indeed, a number of par saves proved as rewarding to McIlroy as any of the four birdies he managed. It wasn’t just about the birdies – four of them in total – but as much about the par saves, the ability to strategically plot a route around the course and, on more than one occasion, to get himself out of trouble. I gave the sand a couple of whacks because I’d already messed it up, so it wasn’t like it was much more work for Harry [Diamond],” said McIlroy of the lie and his reaction. McIlroy, riding in on the back of a successful defence at the Canadian Open, was a man on a mission. The display of petulance, smashing his wedge into the sand – not once, but twice – at one point of his round, brought us a raw human trait; of wanting something so badly.

Check out when all the players tee off their second rounds of the US Open at Brookline on Friday.

On Friday those windows are 6:45-9:30 a.m., and again after 7 p.m. He's started his round double bogey, bogey to drop to 1-over, leaving valuable strokes all over the greens. Woo buddy, that would have been one hell of a clubhouse bar tab. That's 217 yardage on the tee sheet, maybe closer to 230 in the wind, and Burns hit it to within six inches. Mickelson enjoyed a cordial welcome at Brookline. Matt Fitzpatrick returned to the site of his 2013 U.S. Amateur victory and posted a solid 2-under, sitting two strokes back. Daffue is originally from South Africa. When he was a youth, his career appeared predestined. It's amazing, and still relevant as the current U.S. Open leader — by three strokes! It also hosted the 2013 U.S. Amateur which saw Matt Fitzpatrick win that event. Curtis Strange won the last U.S. Open at The Country Club, which was held in 1988. U.S. Open leader MJ Daffue has gone out in a 32, taking a three-stroke lead over the field. Like Southern Hills, designer Gil Hanse has been working with The Country Club to prepare for this U.S. Open.

There are 12 players within two strokes of leaders Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen but unfortunately Kiwis Ryan Fox and Danny Lee aren't among them.

He took advantage of the birdie chances on the drivable par-4 fifth and the short par-5 eighth. “For a little part of the day there, it seemed like I was going to be a few more behind. Some of them require some introductions to major championship contention on the weekend. The third try finally found the green, and he holed a 25-foot putt to salvage a double bogey. His next stop is Oregon in two weeks for another LIV Golf event, 54 holes and no cut. The weekend won't have Mickelson, hardly a surprise. Birdies on the last two holes gave him another 68. That included McIlroy, coming of a win at the Canadian Open, who was never more entertaining. I typically have to be home at 5 for dinner,” Dahmen said. Jon Rahm is the defending US Open champion, one shot out of the lead. Kiwis Ryan Fox and Danny Lee also missed the cut. It just doesn't have Phil Mickelson, who missed the cut by eight shots.

Both Ryan Fox and Danny Lee missed the cut, though Lydia Ko had more luck in the LPGA.

Korda holed out from 82 yards for eagle on the par-5 14th in a bogey-free 65. The group one shot behind includes Hayden Buckley, who actually studied while at Missouri because he never thought playing golf for a living was going to work out. Some of them require some introductions to major championship contention on the weekend. "The last few days is a huge confidence booster for me heading into this weekend, and hopefully we can kind of make some separation somehow." McIlroy hit his stride on the back nine with three birdies over his last four holes for a 69. Rahm had a 67 and was one shot behind in a group that included Rory McIlroy.
