Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy are the co leaders after day one of the US Open at Pinehurst No.2 after both shot a five-under-par 65, a score which has only ever been bettered in a U.S. Open at Pinehurst by Martin Kaymer. Cantlay finished with three birdies in five holes and only putted 23 times during his round.
Rory McIlroy has played the seventh bogey-free round in U.S. Open history at Pinehurst No. 2. The last three times that McIlroy has opened with a bogey-free round in a Major, he has gone on to win.
