The 2022 U.S. Open is set to begin on Thursday in Brookline, Massachusetts, with a number of star-studded groupings set to take the course at The Country Club. Hot off his second PGA Tour victory of the season and 21st win overall, new favorite Rory McIlroy will look to get off on the right foot just as he did at the 2022 PGA Championship.
The Northern Irishman commanded the first-round lead at Southern Hills after firing a 5-under 65 and will kick off his U.S. Open at 7:40 a.m.ET alongside Hideki Matsuyama and Xander Schauffele. This trio is one of a few notable groupings off in the morning hours at The Country Club. A few more favorites part of the morning wave are listed below.
