Andrew Landry had a much shorter day Friday.

The 28-year-old qualifier only had to hit one shot when he returned in the morning to make a 10-foot birdie putt for a 66 and the lead. It was the best opening round in 10 majors at Oakmont, beating a record shared by Ben Hogan and Tom Watson.

Landry also became the first player in 30 years to have the sole lead after his first U.S. Open round. Now his name shares billing with Johnson, whom Spieth recently described as "arguably the most talented player on the PGA Tour."

Landry doesn't start his second round until Saturday morning.
