Groupings & Tee Times for 114th U.S. Open


The USGA has announced the groupings and starting times for the first two rounds of the 2014 U.S. Open. The second major of the year starts next Thursday at the 7,562-yard, par-70 Pinehurst Resort & Country Club (Course No. 2).

The U.S. Open is a 72-hole, stroke-play competition. A field of 156 players will play the first two rounds on June 12 and 13, after which the field will be reduced to the low 60 scores and ties. Those making the cut will play 18 holes on June 14 and 15. If there is a tie after the completion of 72 holes, a scheduled 18-hole playoff will be played Monday, June 16, starting at noon. If the playoff results in a tie, the surviving players will immediately continue the play-off hole-by-hole until the winner is determined.

Here are the groups and starting times for the first two days (all times EDT):
