US Open golf 2022: first round – as it happened

• Adam Hadwin leads after opening round of 66
• Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick and Justin Rose in hot pursuit
• Official leaderboard

One of those aforementioned birdie-pars at 15 for Rory McIlroy. He shoves his tee shot at 15 into thick oomska down the right. Forced to gouge out, he leaves himself with a 15-foot downhill putt to save his par ... and he rolls it confidently into the centre of the cup. That's his second fine scramble already: he drove into trouble down the right of 13, but found the front of the two-tier green and made a very testing two-putt par. McIlroy currently playing with the confidence of a man coming off a final round of 62 and victory at last week's Canadian Open.

Abraham Ancer finished in the top ten at the PGA last month. The 31-year-old Mexican won't be repeating his Southern Hills heroics this week. He's been forced to withdraw after falling ill, and Patton Kizzire will take his place. Rickie Fowler is the next cab on the rank should anyone else withdraw.
