McIlroy makes fast start at windy US Open despite expensive finish

Rory McIlroy missed out on a chance to grab the early clubhouse lead during a challenging opening round at the US Open, where Scottie Scheffler made a mixed start to his Grand Slam bid.

McIlroy temporarily held a two-shot cushion in windy conditions at Shinnecock Hills, where only six of the morning wave finished under-par and play was halted for two hours due to thick fog, only to bogey the final two holes for a one-under 69.
