The first round of the 2022 U.S. Open began with a bang as the vocal leader of the PGA Tour, Rory McIlroy, came out firing. After successfully defending his RBC Canadian Open crown last week, McIlroy kicked off his U.S. Open effort at The Country Club with a 3-under 67 to propel himself into contention, one shot back of the lead at day’s end.
Consistently splitting fairways and connecting on greens in regulation, the Northern Irishman implemented the perfect game plan for the test that is the U.S. Open. Posting more than four strokes gained putting, McIlroy’s performance on the greens marked the third-best such effort of his PGA Tour career.
Despite the presence of McIlroy, there are a number of surprises on the leaderboard including first-round leader Adam Hadwin at 4 under. David Lingmerth, M.J. Daffue and Callum Tarren at 3 under would certainly fall under the same category; however, once we move past those who may drift down the leaderboard as we progress into this championship, the big names are there. Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Will Zalatoris and Max Homa all turned in rounds of 1-under 69 on Thursday and are firmly in the mix.
