Jordan Spieth was finally able to complete his first round at the 2016 U.S. Open, finishing with a two-over par 72. Despite getting in the clubhouse after 18 holes early on Friday, Spieth was among a large group of players who will have to wait until Saturday to begin their second round. He is scheduled to tee off at 8:50 a.m. ET at Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Here’s how the leaderboard at this year’s U.S. Open looks right now with some players on the course for the second round: Before bad weather took over on Thursday, Spieth was one-over par through 11 holes. He wound up...

The top players at the U.S. Open not only have to battle a challenging course but also an atypical schedule in the first two days at Oakmont Country Club. After play was suspended early Thursday due to poor weather, players had to come out early Friday to finish Round 1. Others who didn’t get a chance to play on Day 1 will have two full rounds to complete in a hectic second day of action. Despite the challenges, a handful of contenders have still excelled with red numbers on the scorecard, though it might not stay that way. Here is a look at the latest leaderboard with predictions for the...

The first round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club in western Pennsylvania was supposed to be about deep rough, fast greens and high scores. Instead, after rain soaked the course Wednesday night, the golfers who teed off in the morning sessions found soft greens that created some lower-than-expected scores. But the story of the first round was just in its formative stages, and that’s where it stopped. Three separate rain delays wreaked havoc with the national championship, and the golfers who were scheduled to tee off in the afternoon didn’t even get a chance to make it onto...

Mother Nature had her say with the first round of the 2016 U.S. Open, shuttering Round 1 Thursday before some of the sport’s most notable names could even hit the course. Andrew Landry led the leaderboard into Friday in a rather misleading situation up top, as he hit for three-under par but only made it through 17 holes of play. According to ESPN Stats & Info, Landry boasts six missed cuts on the PGA Tour this season, which makes sense when one realizes just nine golfers finished Round 1 and half of the field had yet to tee off entering Friday. The Weather Channel still suggests rain...

The rain softened the greens a bit Thursday, which allowed many players...

Dustin Johnson used a splendid 36 holes of golf to move into a tie for the lead at the U.S. Open on Friday. Johnson shot a 67 on Friday morning at Oakmont Country Club to finish up his first round before he went back out on course to shoot 69 on his second set of 18 holes.

Golfers should’ve exchanged their shoes for rain boots Thursday in the first round of the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Andrew Landry leads at three under through 11 holes: Tournament officials suspended play a little after 4:30 p.m. ET as a result of inclement weather. Rain was a constant problem, to the extent only nine golfers were able to complete their rounds before heading to the clubhouse. A number of top stars have yet to even set foot on the course. Although Thursday’s constant delays will cause a logjam Friday, they shouldn’t...

It didn’t take hours, minutes or much more than a moment before the knowing nods began at Oakmont Country Club on Thursday morning. Rory McIlroy, who has routinely turned wet major championship courses into personal pincushions over the years, grabbed a long iron on the first tee and yanked his opening shot toward a fairway bunker. Instead of trickling into the deep sand, however, the errant shot stopped in the light rough, slowed by the wet turf and torrential rain that blew through Oakmont, Pennsylvania, the night before the U.S. Open. On a day in which three delays wrecked any...

Conditions at Oakmont, a typically difficult course, were even more treacherous because of severe rain and wind. The event suspended play because of the weather, which Fox Sports provided a look at: McIlroy, who entered among the favorites to win the tournament, according to Odds Shark, made it through 13 holes, and he is tied for 38th place. Andrew Landry, at three under, is atop the leaderboard, which is available...
