Spaun grabs early U.S. Open lead, McIlroy two back
Riding a hot start fueled by a chip-in birdie on his opening hole, J.J. Spaun set the early pace at the U.S. Open with a 4-under-par 66 on Thursday at Oakmont Country Club. Spaun began the first round on the inward nine and birdied Nos. 10, 12, 16 and 17 for a 4-under 31, a U.S. Open Oakmont record for the first nine holes of a championship. He held steady with all pars on the front nine. It marked just the eighth bogey-free round at Oakmont in U.S. Open history and tied Andrew Landry in 2016 for the lowest U.S. Open first-round score here. As of 7:15 p.m. ET, Spaun held a slim lead over South Africa's Thriston Lawrence (67), with Brooks Koepka among those lurking at 2 under par. The Los Angeles native narrowly missed the green at the par-4 10th hole but lined up his chip out of Oakmont's 5-inch rough perfectly. He went on to make a tap-in at the par-5 No. 12, a 5-foot birdie at the par-3 No. 16 and an 11 1/2-footer at No. 17, a par-4 hole. 'It kind of set the tone for how the day was going to go. You're not really expecting to chip it in,' Spaun said. 'You're just trying to get yourself within making distance for par. 'It was really nice to predict the lie, hit the shot exactly how you want to, and it kind of comes out, and it's just feeding towards the hole and it goes in. It was a nice little wake-up call at 7:10 in the morning or whatever it was.' Spaun, 34, has never finished inside the top 20 of a major. He has one title on the PGA Tour (Valero Texas Open, 2022) and lost a playoff to Rory McIlroy at The Players Championship in March. Koepka had an eagle and two bogeys through 16 holes before making his only two birdies of the day at Nos. 17 and 18. The two-time U.S. Open champion was tied at 68 with South Koreans Sungjae Im and Si Woo Kim. Jon Rahm of Spain, Ben Griffin and Belgium's Thomas Detry were part of a tie at 1-under 69. Your leaderboard after 18 holes at the U.S. Open 🇺🇸# — LIV Golf (@livgolf_league) June 13, 2025 Im was the only player to take the lead from Spaun, but it lasted all of one hole. After birdieing three holes on the back nine, Im rolled in back-to-back birdies at Nos. 1 and 2 for the outright lead at 5 under. But he found Oakmont's famed 'church pews' bunker off the third tee, the first of several missteps on his way to consecutive bogeys. McIlroy, meanwhile, birdied Nos. 11 and 12 for an early share of the lead Thursday before coming apart. After piling up four bogeys, he needed two tries to get out of the rough at the long par-3 eighth and made double bogey. He shot 41 on his second nine en route to a 4-over 74. The Masters champion from Northern Ireland was using an older model of a TaylorMade driver after struggling with a newer model at the RBC Canadian Open. McIlroy had a driver ruled as non-conforming during the PGA Championship, owing to the original switch. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler didn't fare much better in the afternoon wave, carding six bogeys in a 3-over round of 73. Other notable names to shoot over par included Norway's Viktor Hovland (71), Xander Schauffele (72), Hideki Matsuyama of Japan (74), Patrick Cantlay (76) and Irishman Shane Lowry (79). Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau opened with a 3-over 73. At a course where 5 over par was the winning score in 2007, DeChambeau was asked if 3 over might top the leaderboard this weekend. 'If it doesn't rain on Saturday, there is probably a decent chance,' DeChambeau said. 'But I'm looking to shoot under par and give myself a better chance going into this weekend. ... 'It was tough. It was a brutal test of golf. But one that I'm excited for tomorrow. If I just tidy up a couple things and get some momentum going my way, we'll see where it goes.'

Frieze House Seoul to open in September inviting galleries
Korean artist Im Young-joo wins 2025 Frieze Seoul Artist Award Coinciding with the fourth edition of Frieze Seoul in September, the international art fair will launch Frieze House Seoul, inviting leading galleries to hold exhibitions and events there during the four-day event. The exhibition space will be located in Yaksu-dong, a neighborhood in Jung-gu, central Seoul, at a building renovated by Seoul-based architectural studio Samuso Hyoja. Frieze House Seoul follows the success of No. 9 Cork Street in London, according to Frieze on Wednesday. 'Frieze House Seoul marks a natural and exciting evolution of our presence in Korea. Seoul has become a focal point for the global art world, and this new space will allow us to foster deeper engagement with the city's vibrant art communities throughout the year,' said Kristell Chade, executive director of fairs at Frieze. The space will consist of two main exhibition spaces across four floors, offering over 210 square meters of display space, and a landscaped garden. Galleries can apply for the inaugural season of Frieze House Seoul on the Frieze website. Frieze Seoul 2025 will be held from Sept. 3 to 6, bringing together some 120 galleries from 30 countries at COEX in Gangnam-gu, southern Seoul. Meanwhile, Frieze announced Korean artist Im Young-joo as the recipient of the Frieze Seoul Artist Award of the year. This year, works for the Frieze Artist Award in both Seoul and London respond to the theme of "Future Commons," with new multimedia works that explore ideas of community and shared experience. 'Her work, 'Calming Signal,' offers a profound exploration of collective behavior and societal rhythms, resonating deeply with our 2025 theme, 'Future Commons.' Im's innovative approach and compelling narrative exemplify the dynamic talent emerging from Korea's contemporary art scene,' said Patrick Lee, director of Frieze Seoul. Im's winning commission, "Calming Signal," is a research-based, three-channel video installation set within a grid-like structure, which juxtaposes Earth's tilted axis with rotational cultural dances, linking gestures of imbalance to visual manifestations of an uncertain future.

Pop star Dami Im gives birth to second child
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Kids. Followed categories will be added to My News. Pop queen Dami Im has unveiled her latest production – baby boy Rory. The Eurovision superstar was greeted with an outpouring of congratulations and well wishes from friends and fans when she shared photos of her second child with husband Noah Kim. Rory is the little brother to three-year-old Harrison. 'And then there were four,' she captioned the photos of her adorable bub. 'Our second little boy, Rory Jiyul Kim has arrived earthside. There's no song quite as beautiful as the first cry of your baby … 'Noah and I are so in love and in awe as we get to know our little angel and also watch Harry become a big brother.' Her artist friends including Troy Cassar-Daley, Tina Arena and Emma Watkins were among the thousands of fans who congratulated Im and her husband on the latest addition to their family. Im was working right up until the birth of Rory, sharing her big family news just a day after revealing her latest music project. The singer and songwriter released her new song My Favourite Scar which she penned for the new Australian film My Eyes, starring Adam Garcia and inspired by the true story of a mother trying to save the sight of her only child. I have had my songs used for films before but it was the first time to write one from scratch. And I love a good challenge,' she said. Im won the hearts of Australians with her soaring voice and prodigious musical talents when she dominated the fifth season of the X Factor in 2013. She came oh-so-close to winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016 with her dramatic anthem Sound of Silence which remains a favourite song among her European fans and keeps adding to its tally of more than 30 million streams. Im plans to take some time out with her new baby after sharing she returned to the stage too soon after Harry's birth. Her next gig at this stage is in September. 'I did a gig three weeks after giving birth! It was so funny, I was limping because I was in pain. I didn't realise you should rest for longer!' she said at the time.

Aussie Eurovision star gives birth to second child
Aussie singer Dami Im has welcomed the birth of her second child, declaring there's 'no song quite as beautiful as the first cry of your baby'. Her second son with husband Noah Kim — whom she married in 2012 — the couple named their newest addition Rory Jiyul Kim. 'And then there were four ✨,' she said in an Instagram post, sharing three images of the newborn. 'Our second little boy, Rory Jiyul Kim has arrived earthside. There's no song quite as beautiful as the first cry of your baby….💛 'Noah and I are so in love and in awe as we get to know our little angel and also watch Harry become a big brother 🥹 Thank you for sending us all your love and prayers 🙏🙏🙏'.

The candid photos depict a smiling Im cradling Rory with support from her young family. Speaking to The Women's Weekly, Im revealed that her youngest was born on the evening of Tuesday, June 3. She said it was three-year-old Harry who inspired his sibling's name, with one of his favourite books featuring a lion called Rory. 'When we were searching for names, we went through a bunch and none of them were sticking,' Im told the publication. 'And then my mum was like, 'Oh, well why don't you just call him Rory?' I thought, 'Oh, that's such a cute name'. So I guess Harry picked it in a way. Aussie singer Dami Im has given birth to her second child. Credit: Dami Im/IG / IG 'Rory looks very similar to Harry (at that age). So it feels like we're back on a time machine and experiencing it again. But then we can see the differences as well, little features that I guess only parents might notice.' Keen to keep the ball rolling on her music career, Im said she would be releasing new music in 2025. However, not before some well-earned rest and recovery in the comfort of their baby bubble. 'I have travel booked for July sometime, but I'm trying not to, like, fill it up too quickly like I did last time,' she said. 'There's travel and performances coming up and I'll be releasing my single in September. I want to ease back into it gently, rather than be 'I've got to get back'. I want to enjoy the moment.' The 36-year-old became a household household name in 2013, crowned winner of Australia's The X Factor before representing Australia in 2016's Eurovision Song Contest. Her second place finish in the competition stands as the best result the nation has achieved since its first entry in 2014. Members of Australian's music community have sent their love to the star, including Anthony Callea who said, 'Congratulations to you all 🥰Ax'. Fellow Eurovision alum Silia Kapsis, a Sydney-born singer who represented Cyprus in 2024, also reached out to the performer. 'Yay congratulations Dami and family 💙💙💙💙', she said.
