OAKMONT, Pa. \u2014 The tee times were released on Tuesday for this week\u2019s U.S. Open at Oakmont, which begins with the opening round on Thursday, and Rory McIlroy got a very favorable pairing.<\/p>\n
McIlroy, who has struggled in his two tournaments since winning the Masters to complete the coveted career Grand Slam in April, will play his first two rounds paired with one of his best pals, fellow Irishman Shane Lowry.<\/p>\n
The two, along with 2013 U.S. Open winner Justin Rose, will tee it up on No. 10 at 7:40 a.m. on Thursday in the first round and 1:25 p.m. on No. 1 in the second round Friday.<\/p>\n
McIlroy and Lowry played the back nine together for a Tuesday morning practice round, teeing off at 6:45 a.m. and finishing at about 9:15. They\u2019re frequent practice-round partners at tournaments.<\/p>\n
Lowry finished runner-up to Dustin Johnson at the 2016 U.S. Open played at Oakmont despite having a four-shot lead in the final round.<\/p>\n
McIlroy, who missed the cut in 2016 at Oakmont, won the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional.<\/p>\n
Among the other marquee tee times are world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler grouped with Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa at 1:25 p.m. Thursday off No. 1 and 7:40 a.m. Friday off No. 10.<\/p>\n

Among the New York Met Area players: Cameron Young, who grew up playing at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, plays at 1:36 p.m. on Thursday off No. 10; Chris Gotterup, from Little Silver, N.J., plays at 8:46 a.m. on Thursday off No. 1; Ryan McCormick, from Middletown, N.J., plays at 2:20 p.m. on Thursday off of No. 1; James Nicholas, from Scarsdale, N.Y., plays at 2:31 p.m. on Thursday off No. 1; and Max Greyserman, from Short Hills, N.J., plays at 12:52 p.m. on Thursday off No. 10.<\/p>\n

Scheffler is the overwhelming favorite to win this week, having won three of his past four starts, including the PGA and the Memorial.<\/p>\n
He was asked if he notices that he\u2019s the favorite from the fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think everybody hears from fans whether they have a financial benefit or anything in their outcome,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s why I had to get rid of my Venmo, because I was either getting paid by people or people requesting me a bunch of money when I didn\u2019t win. It wasn\u2019t a good feeling.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut no, I don\u2019t pay attention to the favorite stuff or anything like that. Starting Thursday morning we\u2019re at even par and it\u2019s up to me to go out there and play against the golf course and see what I can do.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Asked what the most anyone sent his account as a \u201cthank you\u2019\u2019 for winning them money, Scheffler joked, \u201cI don\u2019t remember the most that somebody would send me. Maybe a couple bucks here or there. That didn\u2019t happen nearly as much as the requests did.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Collin Morikawa was asked on Tuesday what he thinks the winning score will be this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really bad at this,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m going to say single digits under par. I think the forecast this week looks like it could be some rain maybe Friday night, Saturday. But already even compared to yesterday, the greens are already speeding up. They will get firmer as the sun comes out and the wind picks up.\u201d<\/p>\n
