Next in the US Open

The first day of play is complete at Pinehurst for the 2024 US Open. The round brought us some surprising upsets plsy two familiar names sit atop the leaderboard, but, there is a path for many to make a run at them over the weekend.

The first round and familiar faces atop the leaderboard.

Let’s take a look at the updated for the weekend play for the 2024 US Open.

Top Golfers to Put Your Money Down

Rory Mcllroy +240

After one day the Northern Ireland native, who was in the news for some personal life earlier this week is the favorite.

Rory was in the Top 3 in the betting odds to start the event, but took over after one day.

Rory shot a -5 and is tied with Patrick Cantlay atop the leaderboard. Rory did not bogey a hole all day, and went back to back birdies on hole four and five.

Scottie Scheffler

The top player in the world was not sharp on Day 1.

Scottie hit bogies on three and six, and then again on 16.

He came away with two birdies, on 7 and 17. Scheffler ended his first round +1 on the day.

He is six strokes back. Many other guys if they were six strokes back after one day would be astronomical odds to come back and win.

But, the top player in the world is second, at +600 heading into Friday.

Ludvig Aberg +700

There has been buzz around this 24 year old from Sweden.

The former Texas Tech Red Raiders golfer is poised to take down a major.

Will it be the 2024 US Open?

That is the question we are all waiting to find out. He will head into Friday all alone in third place at -4.

He shot six birdies in round one, and hit bogies on six and 14.

Aberg is third in the betting odds, as he comes in at +700.

Bryson DeChambeau +750

It was a good first round for the 30 year old from SMU.

DeChambeau can be a bit of a wildcard, and his cards were played right on Thursday.

Patrick Cantlay

Despite being one of the co-leaders, Cantlay is not getting a ton of love from oddsmakers.

The 32 year old from California was -4 through nine holes.

He went to -5 before a bogey on 15, but bounced back and hit another birdie on 18.

Xander Schauffele

The second ranked player in the world was not super sharp on Thursday.

Schauffele, who won the last major – the PGA Championship is even after one round.

The 30 year old from San Diego had a tough time on the front nine as he went three bogies in four holes.

Xander is +1600 according to oddsmakers.

He was able to get back on track a little with three birdies in five holes, but a bogey on 14 put him back to even.

Despite being five shots back, Xander is +1600 according to oddsmakers.

Some Other Key US Open Golfers

Tommy Fleetwood +5000

Fleetwood is a guy that some were talking about that had the ability to win this event.

He struggled a little in the first round, but came away with an even score, which is just five strokes behind the leaders.

Fleetwood is now 50/1 to win the US Open.

Max Homa +11000

One of the more popular golfers on the tour went +1 for his opening round on Thursday.

Fortunately for many of the golfers, the cut is going to be in the positive numbers before it is all said and done.

Homa is going to need a big Friday to get back in the mix.

Hideki Matsuyama +15000

The 32 year old from Japan is +2 for the tournament. Hideki was +1 over in the front nine and +1 in the second nine.

He had just three birdies on the day, and five bogies.

He will look for a much better second round to possibly catapult into a shot on Saturday and Sunday.

Jordan Spieth +25000

The 30 year old from Dallas is +2 for the tournament. While that currently is going to make the cut, that is 7 strokes back of the leader.

Spieth is coming off a poor weekend at the Memorial, and does not have a win this year.

It does not appear the US Open will be his first.

Justin Thomas +100000

The golf world is wondering what in the world is going on with Justin Thomas. He has been really poor, and was even more poor on Thursday. He went +3 on the front nine and +4 on the back nine.

Thomas is +7 and 12 strokes back of the lead.

He is going to need a great Friday to even have a chance to compete on Saturday and Sunday.
