The best two from Scotti Chefler and Rory Mcilroy found OakMont Country Club, a bruising challenge on the first day in the US Open when only 10 players ended from 156 players.
The Mcilroy Master's Champion had started well and was two under nine holes, but then he was revealed with four double ghosts and a double ghost while publishing four more than 74.
Sheffler, who entered the third allocations in the year as the preferred overwhelming against the background of winning three of its past four championships, is three on an equal footing after an unusual rough round that included five ghosts.
“I made some ridiculous mistakes and I just need to be more clear,” said the American, who won the American PGA Championship last month to add it to Military victories.
In the forefront in four under Under IS JJ Spaun, who won Mcilroy in a playoff match to win the players in March. The Americans had four birds in the first eight holes and was the only ghost round despite the benign conditions.
It was briefly repaired by IM Sung-Jae, only for South Korea for three of its last seven holes and retreated.
Thiston Lawrence from South Africa is one behind SPAUN in the famous Pennsylvania Terminal, hosting 10 US Open.
Braooks Koepka, 2017 and 2018 champion, alongside IM and Kim Si-Woo is two years after Birdieing two last holes to post 68.
Robert McCayter of Scotland was pleased with his 70th round, ranked “in the top ten in which she played.”
Speaking to the BBC Sport, he added: “I have never played a golf course strongly. Every snapshot on the edge of a knife.”
Former winners, John Ram, and Jurdan Sbeith, were also impressed in their single and consecutive rounds, while the hero Praison Deschambo described it as a “brutal test” after the publication of three or more than 73.
Also in the third, Patrick Reed, who only achieved the fourth peremptory in our open history when he was hiding in his second shot, was from 286 yards, on the fourth, to capture three shots.
Unfortunately for the Americans, a three -year -old ghost was left at the last three on the championship.
With dry weather forecast on Friday, this giant should become from a golf course, which has had the highest average registration in the first round (74.63) since 2018 at SHINNECOCK Hills (76.47), only more difficult.
