1st round is underway in the 123rd U.S. Open. Catch the action live all day long from The Los Angeles Country Club!
Leaderboard can be found at https://www.usopen.com/
Early in the day American Jacob Solomon leads at -3 thru 11.
The Aussies were doing ok,
Lucas Herbert E thru 10
Adam Scott +1 thru 5
Jason Day +3 thru 7.
Cam Davis, Cam Smith and (A) Karl Vilips soon to tee-off.
Traditionally this event can cruel the best on day one. The aim is to try and shoot par otherwise day two the field can get away.
The last Aussie to win was Geoff Ogilvy in 2006 when he took out the title with a bogey on the last (+5) beating Phil Mickelson. The winning score gives you an idea of how hard scoring can be.
+5 won't be repeated this year however.
My early tips are Tommy Fleetwood and Max Homa but it will be interesting to see if Cam Smith can feature after having little lead up tournaments in the US. 🤞
Last year's winner Matt Fitzpatrick beat fav Scotty Scheffler and he's yet to tee off. Scheffler is fav again but I have doubts.

My brief attempt at journalism has come to a crashing halt.
Ricky Fowler comes out and breaks the course record for an opening round of 8 under...so much for my assessment of the US Open.
Now as I write this Xander Schauffele just equalled Ricky's score. I give up.
Smith just teed off the first....time for redemption :D

Looks like a course set up nicely for Rory to win, which means of course he will find a way to lose.

Two Aussies in the top 10 but a long way back with good players ahead of them. Theyll need some good rounds today to stay on contention.

Aussies are crap in 2024 US Golf Open. I really thought Herbert was going to make a go of it.
