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.

Front nine done for Tiger, Fitzy and Zalatoris
Fitzpatrick (+1), Woods (+1), Zalatoris (+1)
That's a pretty decent effort from Tiger there.
He'll be kicking himself about those back-to-back bogeys, mind.
14:55
Back-to-back bogeys for Woods
T. Woods +1 (8*)
After such a steady start, Woods three-putts the 17th green courtesy of a clumsy lag putt that finished about ten feet past the pin. The second wouldn't drop either and now Woods has dropped two shots in two holes.
That one was avoidable and will really sting for the 15-time major champion.
14:46
Koepka moves into the lead
B. Koepka -2 (7)
The two-time US Open Champion made a birdie on the 7th hole to move into a tie for the lead.
He's joined at the top by Logan McAllister. However, McAllister has just knocked his ball way left into the trees on the 11th hole, so we could be looking at a solo lead for Koepka shortly.
14:35
Bogey for Woods
T. Woods E (7*)
A great effort for par slides by the right side of the cup, which means Woods' par run has sadly come to an end.
He now moves back to level par with 25 other players.
Tiger Woods
14:27
Aberg drops a shot
L. Aberg -1 (4*)
Aberg fails to get up and down from the bunker on the 13th hole and sees himself drop a shot, leaving himself in a 15-way tie at the top.
It doesn't look like Pinehurst No.2 will offer up many birdie opportunities today, so par saves will be just as valuable.
14:22
Steady so far from Woods
T. Woods -1 (6*)
After a birdie on the 1st, Tiger has been quietly going about his business with five pars in a row.
Martin Kaymer said he believes the winning score could be over par this week, so if Woods can continue as is, he will be in a great spot come Sunday.

Eagle for Conners
C. Conners E (5)
The Canadian rolls in a lengthy eagle putt on the 5th hole to atone for his double bogey on the 2nd.
He now moves into the very crowded pack sat at level par.
13:52
Aberg into the lead
L. Aberg -2 (3*)
The young Swede is off to a hot start with two birdies in his first three holes.
He now has a share of the lead at two-under with Logan McAllister.
Can he emulate his heroics at Augusta? Only time will tell.
13:48
Back to back par saves for Woods
Woods -1 (4*)
Tiger's putter is red hot, as he makes another lengthy par save on the 13th hole to remain one shot back from the leader at one-under.
Promising stuff from Woods so far, but he will undoubtedly be hoping for a couple of tap-in pars in the next few holes to ease the pressure.
13:32
A great escape for Woods
Woods -1 (3*)
After finding a bunker with his wayward second shot on the 12th, Woods hit a sublime shot from the sand and followed it in with a beautiful par putt to stay at one-under.
We've already seen some loose shots from Woods, with the right miss appearing to be in play today.
Thankfully, his short game has been as sharp as ever so far, and he's been very impressive off the tee, too.
Tiger Woods
13:18
Birdie start for Finau
T. Finau -1 (1*)
The long-hitting American made light work of the par-five 10th, leaving himself with a three-footer for birdie, which he neatly tucked away to move to one-under.
13:15
Back to level for Fitzpatrick
Matt Fitzpatrick made a superb birdie on the 10th hole to start his round, but after his approach fed off the back of the 11th green, the Englishman failed to keep his putt on the green and gave a shot straight back.
We've already seen how tricky these greens are going to be, a number of players have tried putting from off the greens, only to see their balls roll straight back to their feet.

The first eagle has landed
Logan McAllister makes the first eagle of the week, coming on the 5th hole.
He now moves into the lead at -2.

Woods leads the US Open!
Tiger Woods drains a 10-footer for birdie at the par-5 10th to move into an early tie for the lead.
After a brilliant drive he went right into the wire grass. But he played a delightful pitch shot into 10 feet and buried the putt.
Nice start from Woods, who is bidding to win the US Open for a fourth time.

"Most important club in the bag this week is... patience."
Sky Sports Golf lead commentator Ewen Murray:
"The most important club in the bag this week is patience."
He could very well be bang on with that assessment.

Immelman provides big Woods update
CBS Sports lead analyst and 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman has just provied a huge update on Tiger Woods at the US Open.

Seamus Power hits the front
Ireland's Seamus Power has just birdied the 11th, his second hole of the day, to move into a tie for the lead on 1-under par alongside Mexican amateur Omar Morales.
12:34
Tiger rips it down the middle
Tiger Woods is off and running and he's pumped it down the middle of the fairway at the par-5 10th.
12:18
Amateur Parker Bell leads
American amateur Parker Bell has birdied the par-4 1st to take the early lead.
Bell qualified for this first US Open this week after finishing T6 in the Dallas qualifier last month.
