Koepka Leads LIV Golfers After US Open Round 1

The opening round of the 125th US Open at Oakmont Country Club saw only a handful of players finish under par, underscoring the course's difficulty. Brooks Koepka led all LIV Golfers with a two-under round, while Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau posted one-over and three-over scores, respectively. Rory McIlroy finished four-over after a strong start faded on the back nine, dampening prospects for his second major win this year. Oakmont's challenging layout, including fast greens and thick rough, contributed to the tough scoring conditions. Betting odds still favor recent champions like DeChambeau, Scheffler, McIlroy, and Rahm. Despite his first-round struggles, DeChambeau, the 2024 US Open winner, remains a leading contender.
