U.S. Open live golf scores, results, highlights from Thursday's Round ...

The U.S. Open is headed west, as the Los Angeles Country Club is set to host its first major championship. Could there be a first-time major champion to go along with it?

A pair of former U.S. Open champions have already won a major this year, with Jon Rahm taking the Masters green jacket and Brooks Koepka coming out on top at the PGA Championship. This event, on the other hand, has served as a launching pad for players over the last three years, with Bryson DeChambeau (2020), Rahm (2021), and Matt Fitzpatrick (2022) all winning their first major title at the U.S. Open.

The four betting favorites entering Thursday all have major championships under their belt, but Viktor Hovland will be a name to watch after his Memorial Tournament win and second-place finish at the PGA Championship 

Thursday's first-round action will also start under the cloud of the recent merger agreement between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. Weeks after Koepka became the first active LIV golfer to win a major, there are more questions than answers regarding how and why the rival tours came together to strike a deal.
