The 2024 U.S. Open is now underway as the best players in the world are battling Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. The Donald Ross design last hosted the United States Golf Association’s flagship event in 2014, a tournament won by Martin Kaymer.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler entered the week as the heavy favorite, and for good reason. He’s coming off a win at the Memorial Tournament — his fifth of the season — and has finished inside the top three in his last two U.S. Open appearances.
Pinehurst No. 2 is playing as a par 70 this week at 7,543 yards.
Here are some of the best photos from the first round of the 2024 U.S. Open.
