US Open golf 2024: first round – as it happened

Rory McIlroy shares the first-round lead after a bogey-free 65 put him level with early pacesetter Patrick Cantlay

Patrick Cantlay splashes out confidently from a greenside bunker at 11 to join the group at -1. Meanwhile Frederik Kjettrup, a 24-year-old qualifier from Denmark, freshly out of Florida State, strides after his 30-foot putt on 5. In it drops for the second eagle of the morning, and having bounced back in perfect fashion from a dropped stroke at 4, moves to -1 as well.

It all goes wrong for Tom McKibbin at the par-three 15th. His tee shot doesn't make it over the false front of the green. Then what looks like a delicate chip up trundles through the green and over the back. He can only get his third to 15 feet, and the bogey putt is always missing on the right. Falling just the wrong side of some fine lines with each shot, and suddenly that's a double bogey and the 21-year-old Northern Irish prospect is suddenly back in the pack at +1.
