Record-breaking performances and thrilling rides at the 2023 U.S. Open.

The first round of the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club saw record low scoring averages, with two players shooting 62. While some fans were disappointed with the lack of difficulty, others praised the USGA for letting the course dictate the scores. The course allowed for creativity and variance in scores, with some players shooting in the 70s and others in the 60s. Notably, Rory McIlroy shot an easy 65 and is within three of the leaders, while Scottie Scheffler gained 1.4 strokes putting and is a strong contender due to his ball-striking abilities.
