5-7 p.m. 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m. 1:14 p.m. 1:03 p.m. 12:52 p.m. 12:41 p.m. 12:30 p.m. FuboTV, which offers a free trial, is a streaming option as well. Those storylines will take precedent for much of the early rounds, and potentially longer if any defectors stay in contention late into the tournament. (Though some golfers, such as 2016 U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, have special exemption for future events). Despite the PGA Tour's suspension of said golfers, each of the four majors — the other three being the Masters, PGA Championship and British Open — have autonomy in deciding who qualifies for their respective events. For instance, Rory McIlroy — winner of last week's RBC Canadian Open — took a shot at LIV head man Greg Norman while expressing disappointment in Mickelson, one of the tour's biggest names.
The 122nd U.S. Open gets underway Thursday with the national championship taking place at one of the oldest golf courses in the United States.
The major championship record is poor, but take out his missed cuts at the PGA Championship and The Players Championship, and Cantlay has unbelievable this year. McIlroy has top 10s in three of his last four majors and three straight U.S. Opens. The fact that he hasn't captured one of these coveted championships since 2014 is obscene given some of the low rounds he's shot, but he finally seems to be back to form. This is the best Rory has played entering a major in quite a while, and he's even coming off a title defense at the RBC Canadian Open. McIlroy also seems to feel like he has the game of golf on his back given his staunch support of the PGA Tour and the traditions of the game. If he plays his game, he'll be in the mix, and we've already seen him this season hang with the big dogs with wins at The Players Championship and the Sentry Open plus top-five finishes at the Masters and the RSM Classic. Brookline is going to demand precisely what Smith can bring: a killer short game for its lightning-quick greens and precision off the tees for the numerous blind shots golfers will be making this week. J.T. is one of the three best iron players on the planet, and his hot putter has translated to wins and near wins for the last two months. He's playing the best golf of his career and has paired an ever-present confidence that nobody in the world is better than him with a wisdom that can only be attained with age and experience. The Olympian has pulled out of the 122nd U.S. Open citing health concerns. Four days of major championship golf on a menacing course in a terrific city. Behind them are Adam Scott, Max Homa and a 75% Jordan Spieth. For those of you not in the know, the three-time major winner is experiencing some tummy issues -- pro move not wearing white pants. Those two legends of the game make way for new ones as world No. 3 Rory McIlroy begin his quest for major No. 5 in the early hours of the first round. For all the nonsense that's happened this week, what better Day 1 story could there be than a lifelong journeyman whose son is serving as caddie leading after the first 18 holes?
The Sporting News is tracking the latest scoring updates from the U.S. Open in 2022. Here's who is atop the leaderboard as action gets underway on Thursday.
5-7 p.m. 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m. 12:41 p.m. 12:30 p.m. 1:14 p.m. 12:52 p.m. 12:41 p.m. 12:30 p.m. Another option is fuboTV, which will stream coverage that airs on NBC and USA Network. The U.S. Open can be streamed using a few different options. Elsewhere, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will look to push Rahm and win his second major of the season. The Saudi-backed start-up held its first event last weekend and saw 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel win it and take home the $4 million grand prize.

That's going to play as basically a 100-yard shot for the pros, I think, and that's just ... *chef's kiss.* He has a solo second and a T8 at the first two major tournaments this year, and this course is a really nice setup for him. The 2022 U.S. Open will be available via streaming on Peacock with exclusive windows as well as featured groups. In what has been somewhat of a downturn of a season after last year’s best-in-class form, this is the perfect opportunity for Rahm to get back on track. He has bogeyed Nos. 1, 3 and now 4, with a par at No. 2. None of this is secret anymore — hell, two decades have passed — but in Boston, old habits die hard, and when one guy from the neighborhood tells a story about another guy from the neighborhood, it’s best not to blab. Curtis Strange won the last U.S. Open at The Country Club, which was held in 1988. Like Southern Hills, designer Gil Hanse has been working with The Country Club to prepare for this U.S. Open. The ball rams into the jar and Leonard takes off running. “See over there,” the caddie says, pointing to a spot on the green. Those are the stories in the annals. A Rory or JT or Speith or Rahm. I think they all have a good chance.

CBS Sports will update this story with scores and highlights below. Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Will Zalatoris and Max Homa were all able to play themselves into red figures with their Thursday performances. One stroke behind McIlroy are a trio of former USGA champions as Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick all signed for 2-under 68s during the breezy afternoon wave.

On Friday those windows are 6:45-9:30 a.m., and again after 7 p.m. He's started his round double bogey, bogey to drop to 1-over, leaving valuable strokes all over the greens. Woo buddy, that would have been one hell of a clubhouse bar tab. That's 217 yardage on the tee sheet, maybe closer to 230 in the wind, and Burns hit it to within six inches. Mickelson enjoyed a cordial welcome at Brookline. Matt Fitzpatrick returned to the site of his 2013 U.S. Amateur victory and posted a solid 2-under, sitting two strokes back. Daffue is originally from South Africa. When he was a youth, his career appeared predestined. It's amazing, and still relevant as the current U.S. Open leader — by three strokes! It also hosted the 2013 U.S. Amateur which saw Matt Fitzpatrick win that event. Curtis Strange won the last U.S. Open at The Country Club, which was held in 1988. U.S. Open leader MJ Daffue has gone out in a 32, taking a three-stroke lead over the field. Like Southern Hills, designer Gil Hanse has been working with The Country Club to prepare for this U.S. Open.
The first day of the US Open has really set up the tournament, with Adam Hadwin a shot clear on 4-under-par. But with a host of big names lurking just ...
We’ve had seven winners all-time who trailed by seven or more shots after round one – 101 players shot 73 or lower on Thursday, keeping them in that historic shouting distance. The first round scoring average of the last ten U.S. Open champions was 69.1. Perhaps even more telling, 21 of the last 23 winners of this championship were inside the top-20 after 18 holes. Or maybe a more fired up one as people drowned their sorrows in beer? Yeah we have Rory, Rahm, DJ and other stars at the top of the leaderboard, but we also get total randomers On the par-3 11th he three-putts and drops back to one-under. He is on the move with two birdies in four holes. It would not be surprising to see that go up to five or six come days end. Both US champions of the past, Rose and Johnson both have putts slide by to fall back to one-under. Two similar shots can leave a straight forward trap shot or an unplayable ball in the lip. With a sensational par putt on the 9th he is out in 32 and three shots clear. Well he split the fairway and nearly found the green in two, before hitting a couple of pitch shots, and four-putting. To be fair, so much has gone his way today already that it isn't surprising to see the golfing god's take something away.
Phil Mickelson has created notable storylines at the 2022 U.S. Open. Now, he is unlikely to survive the cut.
The most golfers ever to make the U.S. Open cut is 108 in 1996. The cut will be for the top 60 scores (including ties), meaning that a minimum of 60 golfers will advance and more will likely make the cut. At least 60 of those 156 golfers will make the cut. The line will move throughout the second round with the 60th-place player. Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Shane Lowry, Tony Finau and Brooks Koepka are all flirting with the cut line as well. Missing the cut would turn this major tournament into a major disappointment for Mickelson, who is playing in just his second event since his controversial comments about the tour.

The Topsham, Maine, native is at the bottom of the leaderboard entering Friday's second round. The 57-year-old from Holden, Mass., also has his work cut out for him to make it to the weekend. Fran Quinn was in the grouping that teed off at 6:45 a.m. from the 10th hole. He'll need a bounce-back performance Friday to make the cut. The 20-year-old from Wellesley, Mass., shot a 7-over par. It was a solid round overall for Bradley, who has four PGA Tour wins in his career, including a major tournament victory at the 2011 PGA Championship.

And to this point, the LIV players at Brookline haven’t exactly been setting the world on fire. Fowler missed the field at Brookline and was the first alternate, but not enough players withdrew. Only three LIV signees will make the cut of Top 60 plus ties to play the weekend, with just two that played the event in London, and none of them in title contention as of yet.

Two-time major winner Collin Morikawa fired a four-under-par 66 to seize the lead late in the second round of the US Open, with fellow big guns Jon Rahm and ...
The Queenslander’s frustrations boiled over on the 15th hole when he broke a club in anger. Six-time major winner Phil Mickelson missed the cut on 11-over 151. I’ve just got to figure out a way to focus a little bit deeper and really get dialed in for the next 36.” I’ve got to focus on tomorrow,” Morikawa said. Buckley, a 26-year-old American developmental tour player, missed the cut in last year’s US Open in his only prior major start Top-ranked Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, with an eagle and two birdies in the last six holes, was in a pack on 137. Rahm, a back-nine starter, holed a 12-foot eagle putt at par-5 14th, drove the green to set up a birdie at the par-4 fifth and chipped from the rough to set up a tap-in birdie at the eighth.
Phil Mickelson created notable storylines at the 2022 U.S. Open. Now, he's one of the golfers who didn't survive the cut.
The most golfers ever to make the U.S. Open cut is 108 in 1996. The 2022 U.S. Open began with a 156-player field. It was 2 over at the beginning of Round 2, but a rough scoring day moved it by a stroke. Only the Masters, with the top 50 players (including ties), accepts fewer golfers. The Open Championship and PGA Championship both accept the top 70 golfers (plus ties). His poor performance meant he had a mountain to climb to make the cut Friday.
While defending champion Jon Rahm and four-time major winner Rory McIlroy are firmly in contention sitting just one stroke off the lead, it is the name at the ...
You have to give them credit, the two big surprises currently in a tie for first at 4 under look extremely comfortable. The short game continues to impress for the two-time major champion. Morikawa fired a 4-under 66 for the low round of the day and commands the solo lead at 5 under as of now. A tremendous approach shot into his final hole was good enough to push Hayden Buckley into a share of the lead. Joel Dahmen has reached 5 under and has tied Collin Morikawa at the top. T16. Xander Schauffele, Will Zalatoris, Davis Riley and four others (-1): His U.S. Open resume is fantastic on paper, but this presents the best opportunity to date for Schauffele. In his five prior top-10 finishes, he had yet to truly contend; however, with 36 holes remaining, he is only four strokes off the pace. Only four men have beaten him in his last four U.S. Open appearances and he has his work cut out for him if he doesn't want to add substantially to that total. T13. Sam Burns, Matt Fitzpatrick, Adam Hadwin and Beau Hossler (-2): Burns was one of three players to sign for a 67 in the morning wave, and the next logical step in his career progression is weekend contention in a major championship. T8. Scottie Scheffler, Nick Hardy, Matthew NeSmith, Patrick Rodgers and Brian Harman (-3): Carrying the momentum of his birdie-birdie finish from Thursday, Scheffler sure looked like the world No. 1 on Friday. While it did not begin without a hitch, the Texan put together the best approach performance of his career from a strokes gained perspective. T3. Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Aaron Wise, Hayden Buckley and Beau Hossler (-4): Rahm played alongside Morikawa the first two days and was probably overshadowed by him. He had lost strokes with his putter in every start since the Masters, and so far this week at The Country Club, he has gained more than three strokes with the flat stick. Make no mistake, though: Morikawa is in for a battle over the final 36 holes with names like McIlroy, Rahm and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler all within shouting distance.

"And to see Collin and Jon and Scottie and Sam up there and whoever else, that's what major championship golf is all about. He shot 2-under in each of the first two rounds, and the last four golfers since 2010 to do that at the U.S. Open all ended up winning the tournament. "It's fun for all of us because we all want to compete against the best and beat the best, and it's obviously a lot more fun for people watching. He made six birdies in an eight-hole span, but those successes were bookended by a bogey and a double bogey over his first three holes, as well as back-to-back bogeys on Nos. 15 and 16. That's what competition is all about." Rahm made three birdies, two bogeys and an eagle on the Par-5 14th to finish at 4-under par. Buckley is ranked 250th in the world and has missed the cut in six of his last seven tournaments, but he's been dialed in this week. Morikawa won the 2020 PGA Championship and the 2021 British Open. A victory at the U.S. Open on Sunday would move him another step closer to the career grand slam. The other co-leader is Joel Dahmen, who earned his spot at the U.S. Open during the final round of qualifying in Columbus, Ohio, last week. He'll also have the Boston crowd behind him. But understanding if we have patience, we'll find something good soon and here it is." Another major champion within striking distance is Scottie Scheffler, who is two stokes back at 3-under par.

While big names are contending at the U.S. Open, there are a number of top players who won't be around for the weekend.
- Billy Horschel: +4 - Sergio Garcia: +4 Sometimes, at an event like the U.S. Open, that is all it takes for disaster to strike. A player who experienced a similar drop from near certainty was Finau, who opened with a 3-over 73 on Thursday. Even par on his day through his first 16 holes, Finau arrived at the accessible par-5 eighth hoping to add some breathing space between him and the cut line. Carding bogeys on nine of his next 11 holes, the young Norwegian's name plummeted down the leaderboard, and he ultimately finished with a 36-hole total of 7-over 147. Wish I had played better."
The same can be said about defending champion Jon Rahm and four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, who each sit one stroke behind the leading duo. Also at the 4 ...

For every Collin Morikawa and his back-to-back years winning a major is a Joel Dahmen, who only four years ago would have thrilled to even play in one.
Some of them require some introductions to major championship contention on the weekend. "The last few days is a huge confidence booster for me heading into this weekend, and hopefully we can kind of make some separation somehow." Rahm had a 67 and was in the group of five players one shot behind. Start with Dahmen, who will never be accused of taking himself too seriously, even if he takes his game seriously. Jon Rahm is the defending U.S. Open champion, one shot out of the lead. That included McIlroy, coming of a win at the Canadian Open, who hit his stride on the back nine with three birdies over his last four holes for a 69.
