The world’s three best golfers tee off alongside each other on Thursday in the first round of the US Open. Rory McIlroy, seemingly buoyant after calling off his divorce, will walk the course at Pinehurst alongside Xander Schauffele (who won last month’s US PGA Championship) and Scottie Scheffler (who won the Masters).
Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy will play the first two rounds of the 124th US Open together.
Officials insist the course will be ‘fair’ but many remain wary of the infamously tough greens.
