Jon RahmThe title defender will hit a championship early, and not better to say, this Thursday at first day of the US Open, ‘major’ where he defended the vivid title he won in 2021 at Torrey Pines (San Diego). The one from Barrika will be ahead of the three Spaniards present in the third Grand Slam of the season to play the 122nd edition of the US Open.
Rahm will kick the ball into the tee from 1 a.m. to 7:18 a.m. local time, six hours away in mainland Spain. This is the fourth game scheduled and Jon will catch the morning Collin Morikawa and amateur James Piot.
Rahm only came out once to play on the first day of a Grand Slam earlier: that was at the 2016 British Open at Royal Troon. That was his debut in Jarra de Plata’s ‘big’ and he left at 6:56 p.m.
The other two Spaniards in dispute, Adri Arnaus and Sergio GarciaThey will go out to play in the afternoon. In fact, they’ve been playing consecutively since the 10th tee. Arnaus leaves in 12:52 local time (18:52 in mainland Spain) and Sergio will do so in 13:03 in Boston, six more on the peninsula. The golfer from Moià will play Talor Gooch and Tom Hoge and Sergio will play alongside Kevin Na and Tyrrell Hatton.
As for the remaining favorites, Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, among others, will appear to play in the morning, and Justin Thomas, Viktor Hovland, Tony Finau, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Louis Oosthuizen.
Note that the US Open was the first tournament after the controversy arose between the Saudi Super League (LIV Golf Invitational Series) and the PGA Tour where players from both tours met. The US Open will be seen live on television via Movistar +’s Golf channel. Broadcasts will begin this Thursday, June 16, from 2:30 pm to 1:00 am, the same slot where the second round will air on Friday the 17th, with half an hour before the four days of competition. Golf por Movistar+ weekend will connect to The Country Club from 4:00 pm to 2:00 am for the third round, on Saturday June 18, and from 4:00 pm to 1:00 am for the fourth and final round, at Sunday 19.
