US Open

Rory McIlroy says the fine line between success and failure on every shot at the US Open triggers the passion behind the club-tossing emotional outbursts ...

"That's why I was frustrated, because you miss it left, it's a pretty simple up-and-down. It's hard not to get frustrated," McIlroy said. "The margins are just so fine in this tournament and I think you can sort of see that out there with some of the reactions.

While on the 18th hole at The Country Club, the Spanish golfer saw his tee shot sailing left with the ball landing under the TV tower. As he began heading over ...

I am 100% sure I saw the two kids that stole it." "I recognized the two kids that were running the opposite way with a smile on their face. As he began heading over to the area, Rahm saw two youngsters pick up the ball and run away with it.

Phil Mickelson struggled in the first round of the U.S. Open, carding an 8-over 78. He's tied for 144th place.

Mickelson was playing in the U.S. Open after being indefinitely suspended by PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan a week ago. Mickelson has been runner-up at the U.S. Open a record six times. "I really enjoyed the test; I think it's just a spectacular golf course," Mickelson told reporters in the players' parking lot after the round. But then Mickelson yanked his tee shot into the thick rough on the right side on No. 12, needed two shots to get back to the fairway and carded a double-bogey 6 to drop to 7 over. Mickelson was one of 17 tour players who competed in the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series event in London without a conflicting-event release. Playing for the first time in the U.S. since missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in late January, Mickelson had bogeys on three of the first five holes and then four-putted from 12 feet for a double bogey on the par-3 sixth.

The Sporting News is tracking the latest scoring updates from the U.S. Open in 2022. Here's who is atop the leaderboard as action gets underway on Thursday.

The U.S. Open can be streamed using a few different options. Elsewhere, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will look to push Rahm and win his second major of the season. The Saudi-backed start-up held its first event last weekend and saw 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel win it and take home the $4 million grand prize.

Adam Hadwin produced a brilliant birdie run to move into a one-shot lead at the 122nd US Open, where Rory McIlroy is part of the chasing pack.

"I can certainly get ahead of them (shots) like a lot of guys do, especially at a big event like this. Get the best prices and book a round at one of 1,700 courses across the UK & Ireland I had a nice little run there at the end of my front nine and knew there were a lot of good strong holes coming in so just kind of kept plugging away.

World number 105 Hadwin, whose best finish in 19 prior major starts was a share of 24th at the 2018 Masters, fired a six-under par 66 at The Country Club.

"Got off to one of those starts," Lingmerth said. "It's hard not to get frustrated," McIlroy said. "I kind of held down the fort there the last little bit," Hadwin said. "There's a lot of golf left and this course is only going to get tougher." "Not much better of a start to a US Open you can ask for," Hadwin said. "To take the first round lead at the US Open is incredible.

BROOKLINE, Mass. — MJ Daffue stepped to the lectern inside the interview area behind The Country Club's massive yellow clubhouse and shielded his eyes from ...

As a career grinder, the 33-year-old is a regular on the Monday-qualifying circuit — and he’s become quite comfortable with playing for his livelihood. “It really taught me to make a lot of birdies.” “Now I’ve finally this week probably started feeling the freedom,” he said. “I didn’t want to skip a week,” Daffue said. If he’d teed it up in the Wichita Open instead of the U.S. Open, he would’ve almost certainly garnered enough points for a Tour card. He competed in last summer’s U.S. Open after advancing through a qualifier, and ultimately made the cut, finishing T57. But he had to skip a KFT event to do so. He made the right call. As a Korn Ferry Tour pro, he was focused on trying to lock up his PGA Tour card. The even more unlikely reason for Daffue’s media appearance is that he didn’t even plan on being here a month ago. But the week before U.S. Open final qualifying, Daffue finally summited the mountaintop. Suddenly, a run at the U.S. Open was back in the cards. These are the calculations up-and-comers have to make when the U.S. Open comes around each year.

Adam Hadwin of Canada fired a 4-under-par 66 late Thursday to secure the first-round lead in the US Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.

He found the edge of the green and drained a 21-footerfor birdie. "I recognized the two kids that were running the opposite way with a smile on their face. I am100 percent sure I saw the two kids that stole it." Rahm made a wild birdie at No. 18 to finish his round. He settled in from there, with one more birdie and bogey on the front nine. "Sixty-six at a U.S. Open to take the first-round lead is incredible," Hadwin said. Dahmen made birdie at three of the four par 3s. Hadwin compiled five birdies in a six-hole stretch to make the turn at 4-under31. Ranked No. 445 in the world,the 32-year-old has never won on the PGA Tour or DP World Tour. Just doing a lot of good things." "I did a lot of good things. But overall a really good day.

MJ Daffue is in a five-way tie for second, one shot behind Canadian Adam Hadwin who set the pace with a four-under 66.

Just to be able to have people there to rein you in. The more you do it, the more you get used to it. My sports psychologist and my coach [are there], my coach is on the bag. He has been sending me encouraging messages as far as, listen, the ability is there. Goosen and Daffue have stayed in touch ever since. It's just how do I bring it out.

Plus, he has been immune from the endless chatter and speculation of the Saudi-backed rival league that consumed attention all week at The Country Club in ...

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. No other major is more open — roughly half the 156-man field has to qualify — and it showed. 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. 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. Nick Taylor, also from Abbotsford, was tied for 79th at 3-over 73 and Roger Sloan of Merritt was 6-over 76 to finish the day tied for 79th. “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. 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. “You’re going to encounter things at a U.S. Open, whether they be lies or stuff like that, that you just don’t really encounter any other week,” he said. Thursday was a reminder he’s pretty good at his day job, too. But yeah, in certain instances it definitely felt a little more relaxed than last week.”

Also, might we be headed to a PGA Tour vs. LIV Golf showdown this weekend?

Homa has been adamant about how much he's learned about not having to be perfect at major championships, and it's clear from his play at the last few that it's leading to better play on the golf course. The 15 golfers that are playing in the rival league to the PGA Tour shot 53 over with only D.J. and U.S. Amateur champion James Piot under par. 9. Max Homa's ball-striking: The best iron player in the field on Thursday was Homa, who gained over four strokes on approach shots and only got a 1-under 69 out of it. Fitzpatrick is having the best statistical season of his life, and while a bookend win at Brookline would be almost too on the nose, it would also be a terrific story. The other subplot here is that D.J. has not spoken publicly at a non-LIV event, but if he leads or is near the top on Friday and beyond, he's going to get a lot of questions about how much he's changed the landscape of his sport. A showdown between D.J. and either Rory or J.T. -- both firmly entrenched on the PGA Tour side -- is almost too delicious to consider this early in the week. "I played a lot of golf last week and a lot of holes to try to be able to trust it. 3. Callum Tarren oddity: One extremely strange part about Thursday is that Tarren, T2 after 18 holes, was over par for 12 of his first 15 holes and only under par for the last three of the day when he went birdie-eagle-par to close. Second, Morikawa has said all week he's unable to hit a fade at the moment, which over the last three years has been the most reliable shot in all of golf. And his quote about how he was going to spend his Thursday night sitting on the lead was even better: "I'm going to call him a newly best friend, Ben Rector; he is a musician. At the PGA in May, he was the horse who stayed in the peloton the entire way before closing like the thoroughbred he's proved himself to be. On Sunday, we might be talking about Thomas being the first golfer in the last seven years (Jordan Spieth in 2015) to win back to back major championships.

Canada's Adam Hadwin seized a one-stroke lead after first round of the US Open, with South Africa's MJ Daffue one shot adrift.

"Got off to one of those starts," Lingmerth said. "It's hard not to get frustrated," McIlroy said. "I kind of held down the fort there the last little bit," Hadwin said. "There's a lot of golf left and this course is only going to get tougher." "Not much better of a start to a US Open you can ask for," Hadwin said. "To take the first round lead at the US Open is incredible.

This year's winner is still making a lot of money, as is par for the course for the U.S. Open.

The winner is going to take home $3.15 million. The Masters posted a reported $15 million in prize money, with Scottie Scheffler taking home $2.7 million for the win. The U.S. Open still boasts the biggest prize money payout, beating out the 2022 Masters, which paid out a total of $15 million. The winner takes an 18 percent of the total prize purse, which will be worth $3.15 million. Among the four majors, the U.S. Open is still king of the majors when it comes to prize money. Traditionally, the U.S. Open has yielded the highest payouts for the winner, and this year, that won't change: The winner will be taking home just north of $3 million at The Country Club.

CBS Sports will update this story with scores and highlights below. Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Will Zalatoris and Max Homa were all able to play themselves into red figures with their Thursday performances. One stroke behind McIlroy are a trio of former USGA champions as Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick all signed for 2-under 68s during the breezy afternoon wave.

The opening round had Phil drama, club tosses and turkeys. What's ahead during the second round of the U.S. Open? We've got it covered.

He followed that with a bogey at the 11th and another at the 14th. Dustin Johnson (2 under) and James Piot (1 under) were the only ones among the group to break 70. Without a low score Friday, he is in danger of missing the cut. Two years ago, he made $5,750 on the All Pro Tour. He is also a volunteer assistant coach at Houston. But after making the turn at 6-under on Friday, MJ Daffue (pronounced "Duffey") has a lead over the likes of Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick and three others. Daffue, 33, was born in South Africa and played at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. He has already earned his PGA Tour card for 2022-23 through his good play on the Korn Ferry Tour, where he is fourth in the The 25. He qualified for his first major championship by sharing medalist honors at a qualifier in Springfield, Ohio, and is making the most of it so far. The 15 LIV players put up a cumulative total Thursday of 53 over. The current leader of the 122nd U.S. Open has 822 (and counting) followers on Twitter as of Friday morning. McIlroy held the lead for most of Thursday afternoon and is looking for his fifth major title. OK. Wild turkeys on the course? BROOKLINE, Mass. -- There was a lot going on in the first round of the 2022 U.S. Open. The requisite drama around Phil Mickelson? Check. A few tossed clubs? Kids running off with defending champion Jon Rahm's ball on the 18th hole?

A potentially rowdy Friday might be a little more subdued in the Boston area given what happened in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night.

The morning wave features some rather large names to need to make a move in order to have a serious shot on the weekend. And then there is Rory McIlroy, also among the three-under crew thanks to his second straight strong start in a major championship. Having said that, the top of the leader board is a bit lacking in star power, though we know it's way too early to start talking like that.

The first round of the 2022 U.S. Open began with a bang as the vocal leader of the PGA Tour, Rory McIlroy, came out firing. After successfully defending his ...

Here is a look at every group starting in the second round of the third major championship of the year. After successfully defending his RBC Canadian Open crown last week, McIlroy kicked off his U.S. Open effort at The Country Club with a 3-under 67 to propel himself into contention, one shot back of the lead at day's end. Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Will Zalatoris and Max Homa all turned in rounds of 1-under 69 on Thursday and are firmly in the mix.

He followed with a birdie at the seventh to stretch his advantage. Daffue, out in the second group off the first tee, sank a 12-foot birdie putt on the first hole to match Hadwin, took a three-putt bogey at the par-3 second to fall back, then made a birdie putt from just outside nine feet at the fourth. A journeyman on developmental tours, Daffue said he didn't plan to try and qualify for the US Open but locked up a US PGA Tour spot for next season and changed his mind at the last minute.

He followed with a birdie at the seventh to stretch his advantage. Hadwin, who fired his lowest career major round, a four-under 66, to seize the lead on Thursday, began Friday with a 10-foot par save at the 10th hole and a bogey at 11 to fall back to 3-under. Daffue, out in the second group off the first tee, sank a 12-foot birdie putt on the first hole to match Hadwin, took a three-putt bogey at the par-3 second to fall back, then made a birdie putt from just outside nine feet at the fourth. At the par-four fifth, Daffue found a greenside bunker off the tee, blasted to just inside seven feet of the cup and sank the putt to seize the lead alone. A journeyman on developmental tours, Daffue said he didn't plan to try and qualify for the US Open but locked up a US PGA Tour spot for next season and changed his mind at the last minute.

He immediately raised his left arm and yelled, "Way left!" The man was holding an ice bag on his head. He had a 3-putt bogey on the par-4 13th.

The smart money there would be an increased alliance between those at Wentworth and the PGA Tour. There is, though, a marked difference between the reception afforded to Mickelson at Brookline and the fawning praise he once encountered with every step. It is Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm and others who sit firmly in the PGA Tour’s camp against the LIV threat. He has embarked on such an incredible act of self-sabotage that he was almost pitied as he limped towards the second-round finish line. Unless, of course, the punter was remarkably referencing LIV’s team event, which is even further down the public consciousness. It is taking place somewhere in the ether but the paying public are not engaged with further detail.

Dustin Johnson insists that leaving the PGA Tour for the LIV Golf Invitational Series won't hinder his hopes of more major success in the future.

I thought I was more prepared than I was." "I feel I'm certainly playing better than I'm scoring and I'll look forward to working on it." I thought I was a little bit closer than I was, but I really struggled putting. That was kind of the difference between yesterday and today." "Obviously it [joining LIV Golf] was a tough decision, but I feel very confident in the decision I made. "Obviously, anytime coming to a US Open it's a great event.
