Washington, June 13 (IANS)
India's Anirban Lahiri will tee off with local talent Ryan Moore and Norwegian-American golfer Erik Compton in the US Open for the opening two rounds. The tournament will be held here from June 18 to 21.
Lahiri, who has thus far won two out of 12 events in 2015, will look to outdo the big guns in the tournament. Moore finished joint second in the 2014 US Open. The organisers announced the pairing and tee off timing on Friday.

Mcllroy triumphed here in 2011 but missed the cut in the last two events and he will be looking to live upto his rankings and reputation as he looks to clinch his fifth major title at Chambers Bay.
World No.2 Jordan Spieth will partner Justin Rose and Jason Day, while the threesome of Sergio Garcia, Adam Scott and Dustin Johnson will feature in another top group.
Tiger Woods, who recorded his worst ever round at The Memorial last weekend, will begin his tournament with Rickie Fowler and Louis Oosthuizen.
