Rory McIlroy’s curious U.S. Open week continued Thursday when he shot a 5-under-par 65 and blew off reporters on his way out of the scoring tent.
Sam Bennett, who won low amateur honors at the Masters and then turned pro, shot a 3-under-par 67 and stands five shots out of the lead. Bennett had it to 5-under but bogeyed his final two holes: 17 and 18.
Brooks Koepka, coming off his PGA Championship win last month at Oak Hill, didn’t have his major mojo going in the first round, shooting a 1-over-par 71, the same score as defending-champion Matthew Fitzpatrick.Phil Mickelson had it to 3-under and finished with a 1-under-par 69.
“You had to get after it today,’’ DeChambeau said, referring to the easier-than-expected conditions. “If you didn’t, you’re going to be behind the eight ball. Lucky enough to shoot a good score today.’’ “I feel like I’m very close to getting [that 2018 form back] because I had it at the PGA for the first two days and then it kind of faltered a little bit,’’ he said. “If I have what I had at the PGA I’ll be contending for sure.’’
