J.J. Spaun made headlines on Thursday with an amazing start at the U.S. Open, shooting a bogey-free 66. This impressive round gave him a one-shot lead, marking him as only the second player to achieve this feat at Oakmont Country Club in U.S. Open history. Thriston Lawrence is hot on his heels, standing at 3-under, while Brooks Koepka sits tied for third at 2-under.

But not all big names fared well. Rory McIlroy struggled with a 4-over 74 and left without speaking to the media, a decision that sparked chatter online. Phil Mickelson, possibly playing in his last U.S. Open, also shot 4-over. Bryson DeChambeau wasn’t far behind, scoring just one stroke better.

Scottie Scheffler, a favorite heading into the tournament, had a tough day as well. He finished at 3-over, with six bogeys ruining his round.

This U.S. Open has captured significant attention, particularly because it’s a chance for many players, including veterans, to leave their mark in a tournament with a storied history. Social media is buzzing with reactions, as fans share their thoughts on player performances and expectations for the remaining rounds.

Interestingly, according to a recent survey by the PGA Tour, enthusiasm for golf among younger fans is rising. Approximately 60% of those aged 18 to 34 now consider themselves avid followers of the sport. This growth may be due in part to the accessibility and excitement of such high-stakes events like the U.S. Open.

As the tournament unfolds, fans will be eagerly tuning in. For those wanting to catch the action, here’s the schedule for watching:
