Patrick Cantlay had six birdies in his round of 65 in the morning. Rory McIlroy hasn’t had a bogey-free start to a major since last winning one 10 years ago at the British Open.
Patrick Cantlay hits from the bunker on the 16th hole during the first round of the U.S. Open golf tournament Thursday, June 13, 2024, in Pinehurst, N.C.
Pinehurst No. 2 was both playable and punishing, yielding 15 rounds under par, the same number as the last time on this Donald Ross gem in 2014. He has the advantage of towering iron shots that land softly, and they were usually pin-high and away from the domed edges of the Pinehurst greens that cause so much trouble.
Bryson DeChambeau, the runner-up at Valhalla in the PGA Championship last month, and Matthieu Pavon of France were at 67.
