US Open 2025 Live: Round One Scores, Leaderboard Updates, Tee Times and Highlights from Oakmont

JJ Spaun is doing his media duties now after signing for a 4-under 66. 

He told Sky Sports he had no idea what to expect when he teed off this morning. 

And it probably helped. 

"My strategy was to take what the course gave me," he said. 

"I scrambled well, putted well and that's the recipe you need to have a bogey-free round at the US Open.

"I had no idea what to expect teeing off this morning, as far as history here, never being here and this is only my second US Open.

"Maybe that freed me up, where I didn't have to worry about certain expectations. 

"I'll take a bogey-free 66 at the US Open."

DeChambeau +3 (73), Schauffele +2 (72)

The defending champion settles for a par on the last to sign for a 3-over 73. 

The LIV Golf recruit is currently seven strokes adrift of the lead, which is nothing in a US Open. 

Schauffele sinks a 25-footer to return a card for a 72. 

Scottie Scheffler is among the later starters on day one of the US Open. 

Scheffler tees off at 18.25 BST alongside Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa.

The likes of Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, Sam Burns, Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Tyrrell Hatton, Jason Day and Joaquin Niemann will be teeing off shortly. 

McIlroy +4, Lowry +9, Rose +5 (17*)

Disaster for Rory McIlroy here at the long par-3 8th. 

He misses the putting surface with his tee shot and tries to play a flop shot into the centre of the green, but his golf ball only travels a few yards... 

His third is better but the Masters champion cannot salvage a bogey. 

Lowry also trudges off the green with a dropped shot... 

B.Griffin  -2 (17*) 

Griffin continues his impressive play with a stunning birdie on the daunting par-3 8th measuring 276 yards today. 

He stiffs his tee shot to a few feet and rolls in a third birdie of the day to move to 2-under par.

That's up into a tie for second. 

Griffin two back as he goes in search of a first major title on his US Open debut. 

Aberg +1 (17*)

It had been looking like a really solid opening round from Sweden's Aberg.

But the wheels have unfortunately come off on the way home.

He's just missed a short three-footer on the par-3 17th.

It marks a third bogey in four holes.

Aberg is now 1-over par as he heads down his final hole, the par-4 9th.

DeChambeau +3 (16)

DeChambeau makes a third bogey in his last five holes and it pushes the defending champion back to 3-over par.

That is seven off the pace right now. 

DeChambeau is looking to become the first player to successfully defend the US Open since Brooks Koepka in 2018. 

It's certainly not the start many people anticipated for DeChambeau. 

Spaun  -4 (17*)

Spaun makes another big par save, this time from 10 feet at the 8th. 

The American is the only player currently on the course without a bogey.

Spaun is making his ninth major appearance this week.

He only has one PGA Tour title to his name, coming at the 2022 Valero Texas Open.

Spaun is ranked 25th in the world. 

McIlroy +1 (15*)

It's a third bogey in his last six holes for McIlroy, who slips to over par for the first time all round.

He's now five off the pace. 

It's time for a leaderboard update.

Eight players are under par. 

Griffin -1 (13) 

In-form Ben Griffin has just popped in a second birdie of the day on the par-5 4th to get back into the red on 1-under par.

Griffin, who has won twice on the PGA Tour the last two months, can do little wrong at the moment - even if Jack Nicklaus doesn't think he's that good at golf. 

His namesake Lanto Griffin - no relation - is also on the same score thru 11 holes. 

Aberg Par (15*)

Tough 20-minute spell for Aberg, who bogeys the 5th and 6th to fall back to level par. 

Thanks Ben.

I think it's time for a leaderboard update.

Only nine players are under par right now. 

McIlroy -1, Lowry +4, Rose +4 (10*)

We mentioned McIlroy was in trouble off the tee after finding the thick rough short of the second green. 

The Northern Irishman opts to play a chunk and run up the green. 

His golf ball looks like it's threatening to roll back off the dancefloor so McIlroy sprints to mark it. 

DeChambeau E, Schauffele +2 (11)

Bryson has another decent look at birdie, from 16 feet, at the 11th but cannot make.

Schauffele matches the defending champion. 

McIlroy -1, Lowry +4, Rose +4 (10*)

Rory McIlroy makes his first bogey of the day at the par-4 1st.

He found the fairway but his approach, with a wedge, comes up short. 

Despite barely nudging his long-range birdie putt, his TP5 just keeps on going. 

And he can't make the par save coming back. 

And just as I type these words, McIlroy is well right with his tee shot at the 2nd...

McIlroy asks his caddie Harry Diamond: "It's fine there, right?" 

We'll see. 

Spaun -4 (12*)

Our leader sends his approach to the third over the back of the green but plays a delightful chip to a matter of inches. 

That'll be the fourth time today he's got up and down to save par...

DeChambeau E, Schauffele +2 (10)

Bryson and Xander both have decent looks for birdie at the 10th but settle for pars. 

DeChambeau hits a brilliant tee shot down the 11th. "That's perfect position," says Sky Sports Paul McGinley. "He's driving the ball brilliantly today."

Mickelson E (8*)

Lefty made a double bogey on the 15th but has since bounced back with back-to-back birdies at the 16th and 17th. 

He finds the middle of the fairway at the 18th...
