The U.S. Open is never a setting where the world’s top golfers feel comfortable, as the USGA makes it a central focus to keep scores as close to par as possible. But the 2015 edition will bring an added layer of difficulty for the top favorites and sleepers.

And they did that, barely, taking Group A with a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands on Monday night. In all, they have only conceded a single goal.
