The best in the world will be teeing off in the U.S. Open Thursday at Oakmont, and golf fans should be able to see spectacular golf at the venerable Western Pennsylvania course throughout the first day of the tournament.

Defending champion Jordan Spieth will tee off from No. 10 at 8:35 a.m. ET, and he will be playing with vete...
