A steady start for the Aussies in brutal conditions (but spare a thought for Jed Morgan 😳) They fared better than golf's LIV rebels though who shot a WHOPPING combined score 😲 USOpen RD 1 WRAP 👉
For much of the day, third-ranked McIlroy shared the top spot despite his troubles, grinding out a solid start.
“You feel like you’re right in the tournament from the start of the week, which is nice. It’s certainly a different mindset when you get off to a good start. I’ve just got to keep it going.” Back-nine starter McIlroy rolled in four birdie putts between 10 and 25 feet and made several long clutch par-saving putts, notably at the fifth from 14 feet after failing to escape a bunker and smashing sand with his club.
“It has been eight years since I won a major and I just want to get my hands on one again,” McIlroy said. The US Golf Association chose not to follow a PGA Tour ban of 17 golfers who played in last week’s LIV Golf debut in England, staying faithful to this year’s US Open qualifying standards.
