U.S. Open 2025 Round 1 live updates, leaderboard: Can anyone beat Scottie Scheffler at Oakmont?
The third major championship of the season is here, and all eyes are on Scottie Scheffler. The U.S. Open kicks off on Thursday from Oakmont Country Club outside of Pittsburgh, where a $21.5 million purse is up for grabs. Scheffler, the top-ranked golfer in the world, is starting off the week as the biggest favorite the event has seen in 16 years. Advertisement Scheffler has won three of his last four starts and has absolutely dominated the golf world in recent weeks. He won the PGA Championship by five shots last month, too, to claim his third major championship title. A win for him this week would bring him just a British Open away from completing the career grand slam. There are plenty of others to keep an eye on this week, too. Rory McIlroy, who won the Masters earlier this season, appears to be still enjoying his win — and that's taking a toll on his game. Bryson DeChambeau, who seems to be the only LIV Golf guy that is constantly in the mix this year, is apparently on the clock when it comes to his contract with the Saudi Arabian-backed league. And, of course, the rough. Everybody is talking about the rough at Oakmont, which is expected to provide plenty of carnage. That's a good thing, right?

Driver issues? Rory McIlroy blasts 392-yard tee shot at 2025 U.S. Open in first round
Driver issues? Rory McIlroy blasts 392-yard tee shot at 2025 U.S. Open in first round Show Caption Hide Caption Rory McIlroy on motivation after Masters win Rory McIlroy admits he didn't expect how hard it would be to find motivation after his Masters triumph. USGA During his pre-tournament news conference, Rory McIlroy was a bit combative when discussing his driver, which has caused him some issues since the 2025 PGA Championship. He missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open last week with a new driver in the bag than what he used when he won the Masters two months ago. Tuesday, McIlroy confirmed he moved on from the TaylorMade Qi35 that let him down and went back into the Qi10 model. 'Every driver sort of has its own character and you're trying to manage the misses,' he said during his Tuesday press conference. 'I'm in a better place with everything going into this week.' Would his driver issues continue at the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont, where accuracy off the tee is essential to success? Early on, it didn't seem like it. Coming off a birdie at the par-4 11th hole, McIlroy stepped to the tee of the par-5 12th and blasted his tee shot down the left side of the fairway before it took a huge bounce and continued careening down the tilted fairway. The ball finally stopped 392 yards from the tee box, his longest drive of the season. McIlroy then found the green in two shots and two-putted for birdie, moving to 2 under early in his round. He has finished in the top 10 at six consecutive U.S. Opens, and even coming in while struggling a bit, McIlroy is off to a brilliant start Thursday.
