Phil's Mickelson's bad day, Rory McIlroy's good day and what comes next at the U.S. Open

SAN DIEGO -- The first round of the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines got off to a slow start. Fog delayed things by 90 minutes. But once play began, there was plenty happening. From Phil Mickelson's bad start to Rory McIlroy chasing a final birdie in the dark, Thursday was filled with drama with more expected Friday.

We look at the big happenings in the first round and what to keep an eye on in Friday's second round.
