Nine of the last 10 majors have been won by first-timers, but will that run continue at the US Open this week?
Jason Day’s PGA Championship victory in 2015 sparked a run of seven consecutive maiden major champions, while Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed have both celebrated reaching the major winner’s circle for the first time over the past 12 months.
Twelve of the world’s top 25 players heading into the second men’s major of the year this week have still yet to claim their first major title, with Jon Rahm and Rickie Fowler among those chasing victory at Shinnecock Hills.
