Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood finished the day two strokes off the lead after the first round of the 2020 US Open on Thursday.

Former champion McIlroy, and former world number one Lee Westwood, both shot 67 at Winged Foot as American Justin Thomas set the early pace.

"First round of a major you're always anxious to play well and maybe I've overthought it at times," McIlroy said on Thursday night.

"I just went out and took what was given to me a little more relaxed and played really nicely.

"I think at a US Open, if you can get off to a good start, you're not chasing as much. And when you chase on US Open golf courses, that's when you can start to make mistakes and compound your errors."
