BROOKLINE, Mass. — You can excuse the Boston sports fans for being a little subdued on Friday morning at The Country Club, site of this year’s U.S. Open. The Celtics lost in the NBA Finals last night to the Golden State Warriors and storms were forecasted to hit the area shortly after lunch.

And in the afternoon, as the skies brightened and the wind softened, the action heated up. Scottie Scheffler shot an early 67, but stars like Collin Morikawa, Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy climbed the leaderboard, along with Joel Dahmen and Aaron Wise who are now in the mix heading into the weekend.
