American golfer J.J. Spaun opened the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club with a bogey-free four-under-par 66 on Thursday, matching the championship’s lowest first-round score at the storied venue and becoming only the eighth player to record a clean card in a U.S. Open at Oakmont.

Spaun’s round, featuring four birdies and six up-and-downs after missed greens, gave the 33-year-old a one-shot lead over the field and defied 66-to-1 pre-tournament odds to top the leaderboard after 18 holes. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and other major champions were left chasing, while Sam Burns and South Africa’s Thriston Lawrence finished the day at three under.
