Four players are tied for second place at five-under, including Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Louis Oosthuizen, and Aaron Wise.<\/p>\n

Rose Scrambles to Stay on Top<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The strong first round has established Rose as the early favorite at the US Open, with FanDuel Sportsbook listing him at +550 to win the major. Rose previously won the tournament in 2011.<\/p>\n

Rose\u2019s 65 tied a mark set in 2000 by Tiger Woods<\/a>, who was coincidentally playing with Rose on Thursday. Despite the impressive number, however, Rose wasn\u2019t particularly happy with his play.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if I did a good job of anything other than scrambling,\u201d Rose said after the round. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to know I can shoot a score like that with more in the tank.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Woods shot a 1-under 70 to leave himself tied for 28th place, five shots back of the leader. The round started eventfully for Tiger, who overcame a double bogey thanks to three front-nine birdies, then parred out the back nine to post a solid round.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just trying to hang in there,\u201d Woods said afterwards. \u201cJust one of those days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Rose, Woods was scrambling for much of the day, making several saves to avoid what could have been a disastrous first round. On the par-5 14th hole, he sank a 30-foot putt to avoid bogey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just trying to hack out, take my medicine, and walk away with six,\u201d said Woods. \u201cI happened to make a putt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woods, Koepka Among Betting Favorites<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That result kept Woods in the mix, with FanDuel now listing the 15-time major winner at +1500. But there are a handful of other contenders who are being given better odds of walking away as the US Open champion.<\/p>\n

\n

Chief among them is Brooks Koepka<\/a> (+800). The two-time defending US Open champion is four shots back after shooting a 2-under 69 on Thursday. Koepka struggled at times in the first round, only hitting half of the fairways on the course and only reaching 12 of 18 greens in regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a battle if you\u2019re not going to hit fairways,\u201d Koepka said after his round. \u201cConsidering how I hit it coming in, I\u2019m pretty pleased. I didn\u2019t shoot myself out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy (+800) is an equal second choice with Koepka after shooting a 3-under 68 to start his tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I did what I wanted to do, which was hit it in the fairways for the most part, hit a lot of greens and when I didn\u2019t I was able to get it up and down,\u201d McIlroy told reporters. \u201cI did everything you need to do in a US Open.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fowler (+950) and Schauffele (+950) are also among the betting favorites after the first round.<\/p>\n

Play continues for all golfers on Friday. After the second round, only the top 60 players (and anyone tied for 60th position) will make the cut and continue on to the final two rounds of the tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
