UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. (AP) – The latest from the U.S. Open (all times local):

7:15 a.m.

With calm breezes blowing off the Puget Sound, the U.S. Open began Thursday just when Michael Putnam teed off at Chambers Bay south of Seattle.

It won’t take long before the big names get going.

Perennial bridesmaid Phil Mickelson, with another chance to finish a career grand slam, is in the fourth group with Bubba Watson and Angel Cabrera. A short while later, Rory McIlroy begins his round on the back nine in a group that includes defending champion Martin Kaymer.

Tigers Woods, Masters champ Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler and Jason Day are among those who will start in the afternoon, when the tournament goes to primetime on new broadcaster Fox.
