US Open First Round: LIVE golf scores, Patrick Cantlay leads, Tiger Woods struggles

McIlroy -2, Schauffele +1, Scheffler +1 (9)

It's been a very impressive front nine from McIlroy, and he finishes it off with a very easy par on the 9th hole.

His birdie putt appeared to roll right over the front edge without dropping, and it looked like it also tumbled over a marker on its way. 

McIlroy doesn't seem phased, though, as he has a chuckle while retrieving his ball from the bottom of the cup.

Scheffler also made his par, while Schauffele managed to drop in a birdie putt to move back to one-over.  

Hatton -2 (8*)

Tyrrell Hatton absolutely hated his tee shot on the par-three 17th, kicking his clubs along the ground in disgust. 

When he got to the green, he realised he had about seven feet for birdie, which he had no issue dropping in the cup.

A wry smile did creep across the Englishman's face as he walked off the green. 

Homa +1, Hovland +6 (7*)

Another hole passes, and Hovland drops another shot. This time, he's joined by Homa. The duo both leave lengthy putts well short, resulting in a pair of three putts.  

These greens are really starting to cause the field some serious issues.

How many long putts have we seen completely misjudged today?

Scheffler +1 , Schauffele +2 (7)

Scheffler gets some repair work done to his scorecard with a good birdie on the 7th hole, but Schauffele's issues continue as he misses a five-footer that leads to his third bogey in the last four holes. 

Meanwhile, McIlroy holes a nervy five-footer for par to maintain momentum.

It's been a rollercoaster ride for this blockbuster group so far. 

Scheffler +2 (6)

It's been a strange start from the world No.1, and he's not been his typical flawless self.

Having found the green on the par-three sixth, a sloppy three-putt means he's now two-over for the day. 

Both McIlroy and Schauffele managed to get up and down to escape the sixth unscathed. 

Hovland +5 (5*)

Viktor Hovland's caddie might need to throw the towel in soon.

He's made his second double bogey of the day and looks in real trouble. Back-to-back bunker shots were the issue this time.

As a self confessed Viktor Hovland fan, this is painful to watch. 

Schauffele +1 (5)

Xander couldn't quite replicate the heroics of his playing partner, and having sprayed it all over the par-five fifth, he eventually had to settle for a bogey, which moves him over par for the first time today. 

McIlroy -2 (5)

It wasn't looking good for McIlroy off the tee, but he produced a moment of magic on the par-five fifth with a beautiful chip in birdie to move to two-under. 

That's the McIlroy we know and love. 

DeChambeau -1 (4+)

The big-hitting LIV Golf star moves under par for the first time with a birdie at the par-four 13th.

After a bombed drive, all that was needed was some touch with a wedge and DeChambeau duly delivered, leaving himself with a knock in birdie. 

Hovland +3 (3*)

Viktor Hovland is having a torrid time out there today. Another bogey means he's now three over in his first three holes.

He will need some magic pretty soon to get his round back on track. 

His playing partners on the other hand are going along nicely. Homa sits a one-under, while DeChambeau is level par. 

McIlroy -1 (4)

After a steady start, McIlroy moves under par for the first time with a well-judged approach on the fourth that was backed up by a solid seven-foot putt.

He's looked very comfortable so far. 

Hovland +2 (2*)

It's been a hole to forget for Viktor Hovland on the 11th. 

Some wayward work found him in the native area, and after deciding to take a drop, he hit a pretty heavy-handed chip to the back of the green. 

The best he could do from there was muster a two-putt, which means he's marked down a dreaded double bogey on his card.

Schauffele -1 (2)

It's a brilliant start for World No.2 Schauffele as he sends a mid iron into five feet on the par-4 2nd and he buries the putt in the heart. 

Solid start for the US PGA champ. 

McIlroy and Scheffler both made pars to remain level.

Scheffler, McIlroy, Schauffele Par (1) 

Pars all round for the marquee grouping of Scheffler, McIlroy and Schauffele.

McIlroy had the best chance for birdie from 12 feet but missed on the right side. 

Finau -2 (F)

Putting has been a nemesis for much of Tony Finau's career and sadly it was back to haunt him again on the par-3 9th, his final hole of the round.

Finau three-jabs from 40 feet, missing a par putt from around six feet, but it all adds to a solid 2-under 68.

The six-time PGA Tour winner, like Aberg and Cantlay above him on the board, is going in search of his maiden major title. 

Aberg -4 (F) 

Aberg hits a superb iron shot down the flag on the par-3 9th, his final hole of the round, and he converts the six footer to move into solo second and one shot behind Cantlay. 

The Swede is making his US Open debut this week, and just his third career major start.

What a talent, all the age of 24. 

Cantlay -5 (F)

It's a fantastic round of 5-under 65 in the books for Patrick Cantlay, who posts the lowest round in the clubhouse so far in the first round of the 2024 US Open. 

He leads by two from Ludvig Aberg (17*), Tony Finau (17*) and Matthieu Pavon (16). 

Morikawa +1 (17) 

It's been a tough day for Morikawa on the par-3s today with two doubles, but he made amends on the par-3 17th by holing out for birdie from the sand.

The birdie moves two-time major champion Morikawa back to 1-over par.

Aberg -3 (15*)

Aberg came up short of the green on the par-3 6th and then again with his second shot.

He chipped up to 10 feet and then drilled the clutch bogey putt. 

Still a very solid round for the Swede, who is making his US Open debut this week in just his third career major start. 

Koepka -2 (14*)

The five-time major champ misses left at the par-3 15th. 

That's not ideal, considering the pin is tucked at the back left of the green. 

He elects to putt from off the green and gives himself a chance of a par.
