US Open golf 2024: first round – live

World number one Scottie Scheffler is the terribly short of winning his first US Open and sixth PGA Tour event in his last nine starts. He already has this year’s Masters Tournament and Players Championship under his belt, and let’s face it, there’s a good chance he would have clinched the PGA Championship too, had he not been farcically arrested on Friday morning and left the Tour chaplain had stood on Saturday for his regular caddy. The man is as cool as a tall glass of Arnold Palmer on the porch in the summer shade. If he isn’t in the mix on Sunday afternoon, it will be a surprise.

On the other hand, the US Open is golf’s toughest test and can fool anyone. (Defending champion Wyndham Clark has pointed out to anyone who will listen that the hard, fast, domed greens are “borderline,” so expect some high-jinks.) It’s a tournament that often produces a surprise winner – Clark, Matt Fitzpatrick, Gary Woodland, Graeme McDowell and, at the last two US Opens at Pinehurst, Michael Campbell and Martin Kaymer – so take your pick from a star-studded field. The usual suspects will of course take their chances – Scheffler, new PGA champion Xander Schauffele, Rory McIlroy, the resurgent Collin Morikawa, Viktor and Ludvig, Bryson and Brooks – so there’s plenty of potential for a major for the ages.
