OAKMONT, Pa. – The first round of the U.S. Open is finally in the books. After beginning at 6:45 a.m. ET on Thursday, three weather delays later, the round finished shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Friday afternoon.
U.S. Open 2016 leaderboard: Dustin Johnson surges into contention with bogey-free 1st round
The tournament’s already moving to its second round.

Upstart PGA Tour rookie Andrew Landry is still the tournament’s leader at 4-under, but the twosome immediately trailing him is a talented one: world No. 6 Dustin Johnson and No. 30 Lee Westwood.
Westwood did a good bit of his damage after rain washed the end of his round on Thursday. He played his first 14 holes on Thursday, but he managed two birdies to close his morning (and his first round) on Friday. In total, Westwood carded a 3-under 67. The Englishman even found time to watch England play soccer in Euro 2016, sitting down in front of a TV in Oakmont Country Club’s media dining tent during the first of three weather delays.
Johnson, for his part, played a nearly flawless opening 18 holes, all on Friday. He was the only player in the 156-man field not to make a bogey, and most of his par putts were relatively low-pressure. Whenever Johnson stroked a ball badly, he had an answer on his next shot or putt to mitigate the damage. Oakmont punishes mistakes, but Johnson’s were so minor when they occurred that he somehow managed to play bogey-less golf.
Scott Piercy, the world’s No. 67 player, was even with Landry at 4-under through 14 holes. But Piercy made back-to-back bogeys on the 15th and 16th, missing a 7-foot par putt by three feet on what’s played as one of the course’s easier holes.
World No. 1 Jason Day had a lousy day, punctuated by uncharacteristically poor play around the greens. He didn’t birdie until No. 14 and settled at 6-over heading into his second round, 10 shots back of Landry and in legitimate danger of missing the top-60 cut. Day has never missed a U.S. Open cut before.
This leaderboard is asymmetrical, because the tournament’s second round has started now that the first round is in its last breaths. Nonetheless, here’s the championship leaderboard as the first round closes and the second round begins.
