From bad to worse for Phil Mickelson
Mickelson +9 (13)
Lefty misses a five-footer for par at the 12th.
That's three bogeys in a row for Mickelson and nine overall.
Patrick Cantlay
US Open First Round: LIVE golf scores, Patrick Cantlay leads, Tiger Woods struggles
Welcome to live golf scores, updates and commentary from the first round of the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst No.2.
PGA Tour star Patrick Cantlay surged to the top of the leaderboard on day one at the 2024 US Open.
Cantlay, 32, carded six birdies with just one bogey for a superb opening round of 5-under 65.
The World No.9 has incredibly not won on the PGA Tour for 22 months, and he has only notched two top-10 finishes all season.
But despite the indifferent run of recent form, he put all of that to one side to hit the front in the morning wave at a brutally difficult Pinehurst No.2.
Many consider Cantlay one of the best players without a major to his name, and after watching his best mate Xander Schauffele pick up his maiden major at the US PGA last month, you have to feel it's given the 2021 FedEx Cup champion added motivation to get the job done this week.
Cantlay is making his 30th major appearance this week. He has only made four top-10 finishes in his major career so far.
Sweden's Ludvig Aberg is also off to a hot start following a 4-under 66 on his US Open debut.
The 24-year-old is making just his third major start and he only turned pro some 12 months ago.
Matthieu Pavon and Tony Finau are also off to solid starts.
LIV Golf's Sergio Garcia, who made it into the US Open at the last minute as a first alternate, took full advantage by being the only player in the morning wave of groups to post a round without a bogey.
Garcia posted a solid 1-under 69 to move into early contention for a second career major title.
LIV Golf's Brooks Koepka hit the top of the board in the early stages of the first round but he stumbled on the back nine for a level-par 70.
That score was matched by his playing partner Collin Morikawa, who finished with back-to-back birdies on 17 and 18.
Elsewhere, Tiger Woods slumped to a 4-over 74.
Woods birdied his first hole at the par-5 10th but it was all downhill from there.
The three-time US Open champion made six bogeys on the round and just two birdies to fall well down the field on day one.
World No.1 and two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, US PGA champion Xander Schauffele and four-time major champion Rory McIlroy are on the course.
Scheffler is going in search of a second major title of the season and a sixth victory in his last nine starts.

Justin Rose fighting hard
Rose +2 (10)
Former champion Rose turned in three-over par but has started his back nine well.
Rosey birdied the first hole, converting a 14-foot birdie putt after splitting the fairway with his drive.
He followed that with two consecutive pars.
16:41
Birdie for Woods!
Woods +3, Fitzpatrick +2, Zalatoris +2 (14)
A welcome birdie for Woods, who takes advantage of the par-5 fifth.
Big cat found the green with two strokes, but his eagle putt drifted right of the cup.
Still, an easy four at a crucial time for Woods.
16:37
First mistake of the day for Koepka and Pavon
Koepka -2 (13), Pavon -4 (11)
Brooks finds trouble off the tee at the 13th and ends up having 17 feet to try and save his par.
He misses and slips back to two-under.
Meanwhile our leader loses a stroke at the par-4 11th hole after finding the left greenside trap from the fairway.
He left himself some 50 feet for par.
It was a good effort and he tidies up from two feet for the five.
16:30
JT is having a nightmare
Thomas +6 (13)
JT's card makes for miserable reading today.
Seven bogeys, one birdie, and four pars.
Justin Thomas
16:23
Woods drops another shot
Woods +4, Fitzpatrick +2, Zalatoris +2 (13)
Grim stuff for Tiger now.
He manages to hit one of the shots of the year out of the waste area at the 12th to leave himself five feet for par but he misses it.
The strange thing about this is he's actually looked fairly solid.
Still, he's responded with a good tee shot at the next.
Needs a birdie.
16:20
Here's that eagle!
16:18
Eagle lands for Pavon! Frenchman leads by two
Pavon -5 (10)
Wow.
Just the two eagles for Matthieu Pavon after only playing 10 holes of this US Open.
Pavon eagled the fifth and now he's managed a three at the 10th hole.
From the middle of the fairway, Pavon takes dead aim from 288 yards then converts the 27-footer.
16:16
Here's a look at Brooks' long-range birdie putt at the 10th
16:15
Rahmbo checks in after his late withdrawal
16:12
Much better from Woods, but he'll need more
Woods +3, Fitzpatrick +2, Zalatoris +2 (12*)
Tiger manages to stop the run of bogeys with a par at the third.
He's in trouble at the next though, and has another tester coming up.
16:02
Rory McIlroy has arrived!
Rors has arrived.
The Northern Irishman tees off at 6.14pm BST.

Back-to-back birdies for Patrick Cantlay
Cantlay -2 (10)
After finding the left edge of the fairway at the first, Cantlay hits a towering iron shot from 157 into the first green.
And what a shot it was, eventually settling five feet from the cup.
Can he drain it? Of course.
He moves to within one of the lead.
15:49
DJ is struggling
Johnson +3 (9)
DJ hasn't been the same for a while, has he?
Sure, he's earned a few bob on LIV and even won on the breakaway tour.
But it's looking like another forgettable major experience for the 39-year-old.
He needs find something quickly before this round really gets away from him.
15:46
Pavon joins Koepka on three-under
Pavon -3 (8)
Wow. Some start for Pavon.
He jars a 37 footer from across the green at the par-4 eighth to join Koepka at the summit.
15:45
It's all going wrong for Tiger
Fitzpatrick +2, Woods +3, Zalatoris +2 (11)
That's four bogeys in five holes for the big cat.
Once again it's a loose iron shot that is Woods' undoing.
He blocks his approach and misses right again and, although his chip left with nine feet to save par, the 15-time major champ cannot convert.
15:42
Checking in with Sergio...
Garcia -1 (10)
Sergio has made a superb start at Pinehurst No.2 and is yet to drop a shot.
His sole birdie came at the par-5 fourth.
15:40
Finau and Aberg close on Koepka
Finau -2, Aberg -2 (9)
Swedish phenom Aberg moves to within one of Koepka.
Aberg stuck his approach at the 18th to inside five feet and had no problems converting.
Meanwhile, Finau was made to work just a tad bit harder for his three.
The American would've been disgusted leaving his approach from 135 yards to approximately 35 feet.
Still, he rolls in the birdie putt.
15:36
Brooks Koepka takes the solo lead
Koepka -3 (10)
Oh, hello, Brooksy!
Koepka takes the solo lead after draining a 30ft bomb for birdie on the 10th green.
The five-time major champ leads by one.
15:35
Misery for Lefty
Mickelson +6 (9)
What a nightmare start to this championship for Phil the Thrill.
The 53-year-old only managed to pars on his front nine, which came at the fifth and seventh holes.
Mickelson made bogeys on every other hole and is now six-over par.
Phil Mickelson
15:32
Isaiah Salinda shares the lead
Salinda -2 (5)
Hot start from the 27-year-old American.
After a run of four pars, Salinda eagles the fifth.
Salinda's approach from 235 yards ended up around 20 feet from the hole.
15:29
Woods makes another bogey
Woods +2, Fitzpatrick +2, Zalatoris +1 (10)
Not the best of starts for Woods and Fitzpatrick as both drop shots at the first hole.
Woods seemed befuddled his short par putt didn't break left.
Fitzpatrick couldn't learn from Woods' effort and saw his par attempt also miss right.
Meanwhile Zalatoris ticks off another par.
15:24
Patrick Cantlay turns in one-under
Cantlay -1 (9)
No hat Pat takes advantage of the short par-4 18th to move into the red numbers.
The American has been off his game so far this year but is looking comfortable on the greens so far.
15:20
Morikawa going the wrong way
Morikawa (+2) (9)
Collin makes a complete hash of the par-3 ninth.
The American's chip near the trap just kept on rolling and he ended up off the green on the other side!
After Brooks Koepka missed his birdie putt to take the solo lead, Morikawa misses his bogey putt from nine feet.
Their playing partner Justin Thomas tapped in for a par.
