The first round of the 2022 U.S. Open began with a bang as the vocal leader of the PGA Tour, Rory McIlroy, came out firing. After successfully defending his RBC Canadian Open crown last week, McIlroy kicked off his U.S. Open effort at The Country Club with a 3-under 67 to propel himself into contention, one shot back of the lead at day's end.
Consistently splitting fairways and connecting on greens in regulation, the Northern Irishman implemented the perfect game plan for the test that is the U.S. Open. Posting more than four strokes gained putting, McIlroy's performance on the greens marked the third-best such effort of his PGA Tour career. He will begin the second round again just one shot off of the lead as the morning session Friday has not made up any significant ground on those on top after the first 18 holes.
First-round leader Adam Hadwin (-4) went 3 over on Friday to fall well down to T14 at the time he entered the clubhouse. But others stars who were in contention after Round 1, including Collin Morikawa and Jon Rahm, are just getting going on their second sets of 18 looking to put themselves in position to win another major championship entering the weekend.
