- Rory McIlroy carded a one-under 69 in Thursday's opening round at Shinnecock Hills, one of only six morning-wave players to break par, though he finished bogey-bogey
- Scottie Scheffler posted an opening 72 and tees off at 19:09 BST Friday, chasing a fifth major in five seasons that would make him the seventh male to complete the career Grand Slam
- Bryson DeChambeau, chasing a third US Open title, leads a marquee 12:30 BST morning grouping with Viktor Hovland and Matt Fitzpatrick
- Thursday's opening round featured a two-hour fog suspension during windy conditions, though the strongest forecast gusts did not materialize at the Southampton, New York course
- Notable afternoon groupings include Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth, and Jon Rahm at 13:14, and McIlroy with Ryder Cup teammates Ludvig Åberg and Tommy Fleetwood at 18:47
- Sky Sports Golf begins live Round 2 coverage at 12:30pm Friday, running until at least 1am across both opening rounds
Why it matters: With McIlroy one under and Scheffler only two back, Friday's afternoon wave carries the heaviest championship stakes — a Scheffler win would make him just the seventh man to complete the career Grand Slam, while the morning wave led by DeChambeau (12:30 BST) gets first crack at setting a target the big names must chase.
