The first day of the 2012 U.S. Open on Thursday offered no shortage of surprises and established the early storylines for the remainder of the prestigious Grand Slam event. The Olympic Club in San Francisco has proved to be every bit as challenging a course as was anticipated with elite golfers such as Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson having a devil of a time getting anything to go their way.
Meanwhile, odds-on favorite to win Tiger Woods had a very strong start to the tournament, finishing at 1-under to finish in a four-way tie for second place. Michael Thompson had the best start of anyone, finishing at 4-under to claim a three-stroke lead at the end of the first round.

Casey Martin felt like he'd been through a war after the first round of the U.S. Open, but he survived to turn in a solid round.

There are plenty of narratives to be found with the 2012 U.S. Open finally underway. One of the golfers of interest during the first round at the Olympic Club in San Francisco on Thursday is Casey Martin. Martin, the golf instructor for the Oregon Ducks, is competing in his first U.S. Open since 1998.
Martin is a dark horse and a potential feel-good story, but during his first round on Thursday, he had a better day than many golfers on the infamously tricky course. Martin finished his first round at 4-over, performing significantly better than notables Phil Mickelson (who finished at 6-over) and Bubba Watson (who came in at 8-over).
Martin bogeyed on five of the first six holes -- the most difficult holes on the course. Martin had another bogey, but had two birdies as well and finished the day tied for 65th. He shot an even par on the back nine.

Sectional qualifier Michael Thompson's 4-under 66 is holding up quite well as the afternoon tee times make their way around Olympic. Thompson earned a spot in the field by qualifying at Woodmont Country Club and all he did on the first day was tie Payne Stewart for the lowest opening round at Olympic in Open history.
Thompson is one of only 10 players currently in red figures, with the other nine players three back at 1-under. Seven of those players are currently on the course, holding on as they play their second nine. A trio of Americans, representing two generations, are at 1-under. Jim Furyk, the 2003 U.S. Open winner at Olympia Fields, amazingly has yet to card a bogey through his first 11 holes. He played the difficult first six holes with five straight pars and then capped it with a birdie on the sixth.
Matt Kuchar, the 2012 Players Champion, is currently in the teeth of those first six holes at 1-under. He was a trendy pick before the tournament, as the lanky Georgia Tech product is always near the top ten but has yet to capture a major. Rickie Fowler, another winner last month, is also at 1-under.
The top three ranked players in the world however, are well over par and scuffling through their first round. Defending champ Rory McIlroy is 5-over. No.1 player in the world Luke Donald's major championship struggles continue, playing the first 13 holes in 7-over. Despite having the best short game in the world, Donald is not a long hitter and lacks accuracy with his driver -- a shortcoming that's particular penal at the U.S. Open, even with a graduated rough. Lee Westwood, another major-less Englishman who was tabbed as a favorite, is 4-over.

SAN FRANCISCO -- It was only a 79, which ordinarily wouldn't be a round to write home about. Even on the difficult Lake Course at The Olympic Club, a 79 is nothing special, nor is it necessarily noteworthy. That is, unless the player shooting that 79 is the youngest competitor in U.S. Open history.
Andy Zhang broke 80 on Thursday at the U.S. Open. He's 14 years old, playing among golfers he idolizes. The kid who found out he was in the field on Monday, then wondered if it'd be OK if he asked players for autographs has a memento to take with him from San Francisco, even though he'll likely be packing up and heading home for the weekend after Friday's round.
For Zhang, just being here was good enough. He was happy to soak in the scene on Tuesday and Wednesday, watching his favorite players practice and playing a round with Bubba Watson -- the same Bubba Watson who shot a 78 on Thursday, just one stroke better than Zhang. The young man was even signing his own autographs while adjusting to his newfound stardom.
So yes, Andy Zhang's 79 is a big deal. And surely, a 14-year-old breaking 80 at a U.S. Open will make many feel old, as well.

Tiger Woods was on his game as he fired an opening-round 69. For the rest of the U.S. Open field, Tiger's solid first day could be bad news.

A double eagle is perhaps the rarest shot in golf, with an albatross much more difficult to come by than a hole-in-one. But thanks to Nick Watney, we have another double eagle at the season's second major. Louis Oosthuizen sunk the first albatross of the season, carding the first-ever two on Augusta National's second hole.
Watney pulled off the incredible feat at No. 17 during the opening round of the U.S. Open on Thursday. The young superstar and Northern California native ripped his second shot right up the center of the green, rolling it in the back-right cup with that dramatic shaved runoff lurking right behind. He went from 3-over to even-par with one swing of the club.
It's a short par-5 that was set up by the USGA's Mike Davis to create risk-reward excitement.
"We hope it's not only going to create options for the players, but some wild swings in scoring where we may see some eagles, birdies," Davis told the Golf Channel this week. "We also may see some bogeys or even worse."
I doubt Davis anticipated the albatross. It was just the third double eagle in U.S. Open history.

The conditions at Olympic are toughening as Thursday progresses, with the wind drying out the course and heat creating incredibly slick putting surfaces. But that doesn't mean the best players in the world can't pull off miraculous shots.
Nick Watney came to the 17th hole at 3-over par and managed to get it all back in one shot, moving to even-par with an amazing double eagle. It's the second double eagle in a major this year, coming on the heels of Louis Oosthuizen's albatross on No. 2 at Augusta.
With the ball well below his feet on a sidehill lie, Watney struck his second shot perfectly and ran it right up the heart of the green. The ball rolled into the back-right pin location on its final few revolutions. The 17th is played as a short par-5, presenting one of the rare birdie opportunities on the course. But it demands a precise approach shot with a treacherous runoff lurking on the right side just behind the pin location for Thursday. Watney took dead aim and pulled off what will surely be the shot of the day.

Tiger Woods played perhaps his best round of golf in two years during his Sunday charge to win the Memorial Tournament two weeks ago, and that momentum carried over Thursday at Olympic in an opening round at the 2012 U.S. Open that eclipsed the dramatics at Muirfield Village.
Woods was steady throughout Thursday, rarely having to scramble for par and keeping his drives in the ballpark. The win at the Memorial will largely be remembered for the flurry of birdies on Sunday, but it was the steady week of par saves that put him in contention and made that win seem different that his victory at Bay Hill in March.
Woods took all that to another level on Thursday and was in complete control of his game. He was hitting low draws, high cuts and any other shot on command with the exact trajectory he needed. His round took off on the toughest stretch of the course, making back-to-back birdies at No. 4 and No. 5. He said at his Tuesday press conference that players who went through the first six holes at even-par would make up "boatloads" of shots on the field. He went through the demanding stretch in 1-under to seal a round of 69.
It was the first time he's been under par at the Open since 2002. He's started the national championship with a red number on three previous occasions, which led to two wins and a tie for third.
Woods' steady tee-to-green day was a stark contrast from the round of his playing partners. Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson hit it all over the yard, particularly off the tee. Watson has never started the U.S. Open under par, and coming on the heels of his sharp critique of the course this week, it was unsurprising to see him with an 8-over 78.
With a 6-over 76, Phil Mickelson matched his worst career opening round at the U.S. Open. Mickelson's day began with a pulled drive into the trees that resulted in a lost ball. He started with three straight bogeys for the first time ever at a major. While Woods continues to improve his form, Mickelson and Watson will have to card some birdies on Friday if they want to make the weekend.

The youngest player to ever compete in a U.S. Open broke 80 in his first round on the Lake Course at The Olympic Club.
Andy Zhang, the 14-year-old sectional qualifier who was added to field this week after Paul Casey withdrew, fired a first-round 79 and is 9-over. His round did not get off to a good start, playing the treacherous first two holes at 5-over par. He had a bogey or worse on the first five holes, but settled in a bit after that to maintain a reasonable score, particularly given the setup and conditions.
Zhang converted his first birdie at the short par-4 seventh hole, pouring in a putt to calm the nerves. He finished his round with his second birdie of the day on the iconic 18th hole. His approach shot on the short par-4 flew past the pin and onto the back fringe, but his putt back down the slope slammed into the back of the cup to break 80.
The David Leadbetter protege is in the clubhouse ahead of Steve Marino at this point, with a full afternoon of tee times still to play. He will tee off late Friday at 4:36 p.m. ET.

Tiger Woods steals the show from Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson in the first round at Olympic Club.

The most star-studded trio in the 2012 U.S. Open has wrapped up its opening round of play on Thursday. Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson all navigated the tricky course at the Olympic Club in San Francisco together, but only Woods seemed to be having any luck at all throughout the day.
Woods evened out through his first nine holes after the trio teed off on Hole 9 to start the day. All told, Woods had three birdies and a pair of bogeys to finish at a very respectable 1-under. Woods finds himself near the top of the leaderboard, in a tie for second place with David Toms and Aaron Watkins, the latter of whom is just starting out.
Both Mickelson and Watson, meanwhile, had nearly disastrous opening rounds. Watson finished at 8-over and Mickelson finished 6-over.
The overall leader midway through Thursday is Michael Thompson, who finished his 18 holes at 4-under with a score of 66. He holds a three-stroke lead. Thompson matches the lowest opening round ever in the U.S. Open.

The first round of the 2012 U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco is well underway on Thursday. A couple of the marquee players are already through their first nine holes and, so far, the course is looking to play every bit as difficult as anticipated.
After bogeying his first three holes after starting the day on the ninth tee, Phil Mickelson is currently sitting at 4-over, with five bogeys and a birdie through his first nine holes.
Odds-on favorite to win Tiger Woods is also through his first nine holes and is at even par thus far. After also starting on the ninth tee, Woods shot a bogey on 14 and birdied on 17.
The current leader is Branden Grace of South Africa, at 3-uunder through his first 10 holes.

Phil Mickelson is off to an awful start at the 2012 U.S. Open. The unforgiving Olympic Club has not been kind to Lefty, who has bogeyed his first three holes. His most recent bogey came in especially frustrating fashion, with Mickelson failing to make a four-foot par putt on the 3rd hole.
His group-mate Bubba Watson is off to a rough start as well. He's two-over par through three holes. Tiger Woods has been steady thus far, making par on every hole he's played to stick at even. It's very early in the day, and no one is putting up big scores anywhere on the course just yet. There are seven players tied at one-under par, with most of the field yet to tee off.
