Shinnecock Hills lived up to its fearsome reputation on the first day of a fog-delayed US Open with only six players managing to stay under par in the morning.

Although the worst of the wind, forecast to gust up to 36mph, had yet to arrive the Long Island course was already providing enough of a challenge for the world’s top golfers.
