U.S. Open leaderboard

Plenty of PGA mainstays are also in Boston, led by Rory McIlroy, the 2011 U.S. Open champ, who has been outspoken in opposing LIV Golf. This time, he’s doing it with Saudi money. Men’s golf remains at the center of the sporting universe this week, as the world’s top players converge on the Country Club in Brookline, Mass. for the 122nd U.S. Open. After a tumultuous stretch that’s seen multiple star players defect from the PGA Tour in favor of the lucrative, Saudi-backed LIV Golf International Series, the USGA can only hope that the competition now seizes the spotlight.

That's going to play as basically a 100-yard shot for the pros, I think, and that's just ... *chef's kiss.* He has a solo second and a T8 at the first two major tournaments this year, and this course is a really nice setup for him. The 2022 U.S. Open will be available via streaming on Peacock with exclusive windows as well as featured groups. In what has been somewhat of a downturn of a season after last year’s best-in-class form, this is the perfect opportunity for Rahm to get back on track. He has bogeyed Nos. 1, 3 and now 4, with a par at No. 2. None of this is secret anymore — hell, two decades have passed — but in Boston, old habits die hard, and when one guy from the neighborhood tells a story about another guy from the neighborhood, it’s best not to blab. Curtis Strange won the last U.S. Open at The Country Club, which was held in 1988. Like Southern Hills, designer Gil Hanse has been working with The Country Club to prepare for this U.S. Open. The ball rams into the jar and Leonard takes off running. “See over there,” the caddie says, pointing to a spot on the green. Those are the stories in the annals. A Rory or JT or Speith or Rahm. I think they all have a good chance.

The first day of the US Open starts, the toughest test in golf from Brookline Country Club.

If you want to see what every hole looks like, I recommend watching the video below... Diamond was absent last week at the RBC Canadian Open as he and his wife welcomed the arrival of their second child. For someone who is so good a lot of the time, Patrick Cantlay's Major record is pedestrian to say the least. Measuring at just 315 yards and downwind, this hole will see a lot of birdies today I think. After chopping it down the par-4 13th, Rory makes an excellent seven-foot putt for par to stay at level. A slight cut and he has 10 feet or so to get to one-under. Homa made his birdie putt by the way on the 6th and he is also to one-under. Amateur Travis Vick just missed a short birdie putt to do the same. Unfortunately I didn't see it because Sky wanted to take us down to the driving range instead... Great to see Rory start well again, just like he did at Southern Hills last month. Great to see him starting well after four consecutive Major missed cuts. England's Callum Tarren gets into the red thanks to a birdie at the 16th.

Defending champion Jon Rahm, PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas and two-time major title-holder Collin Morikawa are all only three strokes back at 1 under, ...

T42. Joaquin Niemann, Sam Burns, Bryson DeChambeau, Corey Conners and eight others (+1): After an eagle on the par-5 eighth, it appeared that Niemann would threaten the first page of the leaderboard as he stood at 2 under for the day. It felt as if he was all over the place Thursday as he carded four birdies to offset four bogeys. In his five U.S. Open appearances, he has five top-10 finishes; however, he has yet to truly contend as his average deficit entering the final round has been 5.4 strokes. While Young was in a similar spot as Spieth from a statistical standpoint, Cantlay was not as his iron play was simply dreadful. Having been in the final pairing at the 2022 PGA Championship, it is possible the heartache from Southern Hills leads to jubilation in Brookline. He has been knocking on the door for what seems like an eternity and on paper the 2022 version of Fitzpatrick is different. He will need this area of the bag to rebound as he has had some trouble backing up one great round with another. Leading the field in strokes gained tee to green, there is still room for improvement as the 34-year-old ranked 60th in strokes gained putting in Round 1. The Canadian is in the midst of a sneaky strong season, which at one point included three consecutive top-10 finishes but has yet to taste contention in a major championship. He continued his fine play Thursday at The Country Club, but it was not without some head scratching moments. Defending champion Jon Rahm, PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas and two-time major title-holder Collin Morikawa are all only three strokes back at 1 under, and they will look to ascend up the leaderboard in Friday's second round. Dropping a shot late in his round, McIlroy would later be matched by by Joel Dahmen, MJ Daffue and a pair of European counterparts at 3 under.

Instead, the golfing world will watch with great fascination those golfers — such as Phil Mickelson — who have defected from the PGA Tour and signed with the ...

5-7 p.m. 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m. 1:14 p.m. 1:03 p.m. 12:52 p.m. 12:41 p.m. 12:30 p.m. FuboTV, which offers a free trial, is a streaming option as well. Those storylines will take precedent for much of the early rounds, and potentially longer if any defectors stay in contention late into the tournament. (Though some golfers, such as 2016 U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, have special exemption for future events). Despite the PGA Tour's suspension of said golfers, each of the four majors — the other three being the Masters, PGA Championship and British Open — have autonomy in deciding who qualifies for their respective events. For instance, Rory McIlroy — winner of last week's RBC Canadian Open — took a shot at LIV head man Greg Norman while expressing disappointment in Mickelson, one of the tour's biggest names.

Callum Tarren, David Lingmerth, Joel Dahmen and MJ Daffue shot 67 in the opening round.

I love my hands shaking. I wasn’t All-American. I wasn’t the best. This is his third US Open (2019, 2020) and it could be the first in which Dahmen, a testicular cancer survivor, makes the cut. He found it at Thorny Lea in Brockton. This is the second US Open for Tarren, and he’s 2 for 2 with having transportation and/or golf club issues on the way to the tournament. I honestly can’t answer that.” In 2019, he had to practice with borrowed clubs and also incurred a $450 taxi ride from San Francisco to Pebble Beach because of travel snafus. Then, eight pars in a row before he birdied No. 1. Got off to one of those starts, I guess, where I was just trying to take care of the golf ball.” “I don’t know. If the name of his uncle, Goran Lingmerth, rings a bell, your NFL fan credentials are top-shelf. This is his fourth US Open and he has not finished worse than tied for 21st, back in 2017.

Adam Hadwin wasn't officially in the U.S. Open until eight days ago. He walked off The Country Club on Thursday with his best score ever in a major for a ...

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 U.S. Open is hard and he had been beat up from travel and pedestrian results. 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. But now it's time for golf, and there a vibe of relief that focus could turn to a U.S. 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 U.S. 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. Even with a good start, and coming off a victory last week in the Canadian Open, it doesn't figure to be easy for McIlroy or anyone else. He hit that into another bunker, and then twice slammed the club into the sand out of frustration. 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. "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. BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — Adam Hadwin wasn't officially in the U.S. Open until eight days ago.

Raise your hand if you've ever heard of Callum Tarren, MJ Daffue, Hayden Buckley, Matthew NeSmith and David Lingmerth.

I’ve got great memories of the place, and the whole time I’ve been out, I see shots that I hit and I see the places I was. “I’m just trying not to put any pressure on myself. Fran Quinn, the 57-year-old Massachusetts resident who got into the field via local and sectional qualifying, shot 76. Golf Channel reported that Spieth hit just three balls on the range on Tuesday, and played very little after that. Overall pressure when you don’t have any status and you are playing a Monday qualifier, that’s a lot more pressure because you know you’ve got to go shoot 6-under par just to have a chance. “Just excited with my start, and let’s see what the next few days holds.’’

Five of the top six on the leaderboard played their way onto The Country Club course through qualifying. The other was four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, who ...

“If that doesn’t scream to you it’s the Open,” then nothing will, he said. He took his drop and left himself a 12-foot birdie putt to finish with a 69. “But I’ll take the 4 and run any day of the week.” But he got up and down from the sand, making a 13-footer to save par. “Even though I’m standing up here slightly frustrated that I bogeyed the last, it’s a great start to the tournament,” he said. Johnson shot 68 to sit in a seven-way tie for seventh after 18 holes. In his attempt to win a major for the third straight year, Collin Morikawa made the turn at 3 under but didn’t make another birdie. He missed the ninth green -- his 18th hole -- and settled for his only bogey of the round. Defending U.S. Open champion John Rahm also salvaged a 69 after driving wide left on the last two holes. But the best thing he can do for the legacy circuit is to keep winning. The other was four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, who slammed and tossed aside his clubs during the round but also made enough shots with them to remain just one stroke off the lead. McIlroy was tied for second with Callum Tarren, David Lingmerth, Joel Dahmen and MJ Daffue.

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.

Two-time major winner Collin Morikawa fired a four-under-par 66 to seize the lead late in the second round of the US Open, with fellow big guns Jon Rahm and ...

The Queenslander’s frustrations boiled over on the 15th hole when he broke a club in anger. Six-time major winner Phil Mickelson missed the cut on 11-over 151. I’ve just got to figure out a way to focus a little bit deeper and really get dialed in for the next 36.” I’ve got to focus on tomorrow,” Morikawa said. Buckley, a 26-year-old American developmental tour player, missed the cut in last year’s US Open in his only prior major start Top-ranked Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, with an eagle and two birdies in the last six holes, was in a pack on 137. Rahm, a back-nine starter, holed a 12-foot eagle putt at par-5 14th, drove the green to set up a birdie at the par-4 fifth and chipped from the rough to set up a tap-in birdie at the eighth.

While defending champion Jon Rahm and four-time major winner Rory McIlroy are firmly in contention sitting just one stroke off the lead, it is the name at the ...

You have to give them credit, the two big surprises currently in a tie for first at 4 under look extremely comfortable. The short game continues to impress for the two-time major champion. Morikawa fired a 4-under 66 for the low round of the day and commands the solo lead at 5 under as of now. A tremendous approach shot into his final hole was good enough to push Hayden Buckley into a share of the lead. Joel Dahmen has reached 5 under and has tied Collin Morikawa at the top. T16. Xander Schauffele, Will Zalatoris, Davis Riley and four others (-1): His U.S. Open resume is fantastic on paper, but this presents the best opportunity to date for Schauffele. In his five prior top-10 finishes, he had yet to truly contend; however, with 36 holes remaining, he is only four strokes off the pace. Only four men have beaten him in his last four U.S. Open appearances and he has his work cut out for him if he doesn't want to add substantially to that total. T13. Sam Burns, Matt Fitzpatrick, Adam Hadwin and Beau Hossler (-2): Burns was one of three players to sign for a 67 in the morning wave, and the next logical step in his career progression is weekend contention in a major championship. T8. Scottie Scheffler, Nick Hardy, Matthew NeSmith, Patrick Rodgers and Brian Harman (-3): Carrying the momentum of his birdie-birdie finish from Thursday, Scheffler sure looked like the world No. 1 on Friday. While it did not begin without a hitch, the Texan put together the best approach performance of his career from a strokes gained perspective. T3. Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Aaron Wise, Hayden Buckley and Beau Hossler (-4): Rahm played alongside Morikawa the first two days and was probably overshadowed by him. He had lost strokes with his putter in every start since the Masters, and so far this week at The Country Club, he has gained more than three strokes with the flat stick. Make no mistake, though: Morikawa is in for a battle over the final 36 holes with names like McIlroy, Rahm and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler all within shouting distance.

"And to see Collin and Jon and Scottie and Sam up there and whoever else, that's what major championship golf is all about. He shot 2-under in each of the first two rounds, and the last four golfers since 2010 to do that at the U.S. Open all ended up winning the tournament. "It's fun for all of us because we all want to compete against the best and beat the best, and it's obviously a lot more fun for people watching. He made six birdies in an eight-hole span, but those successes were bookended by a bogey and a double bogey over his first three holes, as well as back-to-back bogeys on Nos. 15 and 16. That's what competition is all about." Rahm made three birdies, two bogeys and an eagle on the Par-5 14th to finish at 4-under par. Buckley is ranked 250th in the world and has missed the cut in six of his last seven tournaments, but he's been dialed in this week. Morikawa won the 2020 PGA Championship and the 2021 British Open. A victory at the U.S. Open on Sunday would move him another step closer to the career grand slam. The other co-leader is Joel Dahmen, who earned his spot at the U.S. Open during the final round of qualifying in Columbus, Ohio, last week. He'll also have the Boston crowd behind him. But understanding if we have patience, we'll find something good soon and here it is." Another major champion within striking distance is Scottie Scheffler, who is two stokes back at 3-under par.

For every Collin Morikawa and his back-to-back years winning a major is a Joel Dahmen, who only four years ago would have thrilled to even play in one.

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." Rahm had a 67 and was in the group of five players one shot behind. Start with Dahmen, who will never be accused of taking himself too seriously, even if he takes his game seriously. Jon Rahm is the defending U.S. Open champion, one shot out of the lead. That included McIlroy, coming of a win at the Canadian Open, who hit his stride on the back nine with three birdies over his last four holes for a 69.

Open champion Collin Morikawa led the way on five under par after a superb second round of 66 and was later joined at that mark by Joel Dahmen, with reigning US ...

“Felt like I hit the ball tee to green really, really good. Had a good lie and hit a good chip and it went in.” “I played really, really well,” said Fitzpatrick, who was fifth in the US PGA last month. Two silly bogeys early in the round, but outside of that I hit it really good. Fortunately it didn’t hit the tree and come backwards, it kind of just fell down in front of it. But three under was a good score for me, especially being two over through six.”
