Photos: 2024 U.S. Open Monday practice round at Pinehurst No. 2

It’s time for the third men’s major championship of the year, the 2024 U.S. Open.

Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina is the host for this year’s national championship, and the best golfers in the world have gathered to compete for one of the oldest trophies in golf. Wyndham Clark is the defending champion, taking home the crown last year at Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course.

This is the fourth time the U.S. Open has been held at Pinehurst No. 2, with Martin Kaymer taking home the title in 2014.

On Monday, practice rounds got underway, with many players getting their first look at the course in preparation for Thursday’s opening round.
