Golf: Patrick Cantlay racked up six birdies and Rory McIlroy carded a bogey-free round on their ways to five-under-par 65s to share the first-round lead.
Sweden ’s Ludvig Aberg, making only his third major start, seized a one-stroke lead in Friday’s second round of the US Open as rivals including world number one Scottie Scheffler stumbled at formidable Pinehurst.
At four-under still on the course were ninth-ranked Patrick Cantlay, an American who shot a 65 to share the 18-hole lead with Rory McIlroy, and France’s Matthieu Pavon, like Cantlay seeking his first major crown. Meanwhile DeChambeau, among 12 players from Saudi-backed LIV Golf in the field, made five birdies and four bogeys, with a tap-in birdie at 18 keeping him solidly in the hunt.
The 31-year-old Belgian had his best major finish last month with a share of fourth at the PGA Championship. At the par-5 fifth, where Scheffler and Schauffele each made double bogeys, McIlroy made a nine-foot par save putt.
