Despite this, many of the pre-tournament favorites faltered.Jordan Spieth played solidly, but stumbled late for an opening 73 (+1). World number one Dustin Johnson was derailed by a double bogey on the par-5 14th, shooting a 3-over 75.Jon Rahm,Rory McIlroy, andJason Day were even worse, shooting 76 (+4), 78 (+6), and 79 (+7), respectively.[8] Meanwhile, CanadianAdam Hadwin tied a U.S. Open record with six straight birdies, en route to shooting four under par. This was the first major in which neither Phil Mickelson or Tiger Woods competed, in 23 years.[9] The scoring average was 73.385 (+1.385).

Overnight rains and calm conditions during the day led to numerous low scores.Brian Harman birdied three holes on the back-nine to post a score of 67 (−5) and take a one-shot lead overTommy Fleetwood,Brooks Koepka, andJustin Thomas. Thomas began the round in a tie for 24th before a historic round put him into contention.[12] An eagle on the 18th gave Thomas a score of 63 (−9), tying the major championship record. At nine-under, he set the U.S. Open record for lowest score in relation to par, breaking the mark set byJohnny Miller in1973. Fleetwood held possession of the lead before a bogey at the par-5 18th saw him finish a shot behind Harman, while Koepka birdied the last to also get to within a stroke.Rickie Fowler recovered from a bogey at the 13th with three straight birdies on holes 14-16 and was two back.Paul Casey began the round tied for the lead but shot a three-over 75 and dropped to 17th.[13]
