How to watch the 2018 US Open golf: live stream coverage of every round wherever you are

Well that was a gruelling couple of days of golf, wasn't it? The 2018 US Open from Shinnecock Hills has already claimed some major scalps with Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and, yes, Tiger Woods, all cut after the first two rounds. You can watch the highs and the very many lows of the climax of the US Open from anywhere in the world - and there's even a live stream to enjoy, too.

From the carnage and deluge stands one man alone - the Mighty Dustin Johnson. DJ takes a four stroke lead into the weekend and will now well fancy his chances of a second US Open title.

The chasing pack include last year's champ Brooks Koepka, Henrik Stenson and English contingent Justin Rose, Ian Poulter and Tommy Fleetwood. So it's not all going to be plain sailing for Johnson.

And because it looks as though the official US Open website will be hosting a live stream of the main golf action, we can tell you how to watch it all - even if you're outside the United States. Keep reading to see how to get a US Open golf live stream from any corner of the Earth.

Watch all the action at USOpen.com

Well here's a stroke of good news (pun very much intended) - it looks like the official tournament website, USOpen.com, will be live streaming some of the best action. The schedule currently says that it will be showing a live stream of featured groups every single day, as well as shots at holes, 7, 9 and 11.

Although we can't yet confirm, we think it's a pretty safe assumption to make that the featured groups on rounds three and four will be the leaders.

Aside from the US Open live stream, we have more US watching options below.

How to watch the US Open golf in the US

There are number of options you can watch the US Open golf if you're stateside:

- The live stream from USOpen.com. Although you'll be limited to what the website wants to show you and we doubt the coverage will have the sheen and depth of most dedicated broadcasters.

- Following the lead of the likes of WWE and UFC, the PGA has got itself all modern and produced its very own subscription golf service. PGA Tour Live costs $5.99 per month (or $39.99 for a year) and hosts all the action from over 30 events. Plus, it has its own iOS, Android and Apple TV apps so you can access anywhere.

- If you're at home and have cable, then Fox is the official broadcaster. Fox has confirmed that it will have 4K cameras at the event on certain holes as well, letting you watch the action in ultra HD.

- The Golf Channel is available from most cable providers as well and has comprehensive coverage of the event.

- If you're outside the US this weekend but want to access one of the above options, then you can use a VPN service to effectively transport your computer, phone or tablet's IP back to a US location.
