Kjeldsen takes early lead at Pebble Beach

Denmark's Soren Kjeldsen made a strong start in California as he moved to the top of the leaderboard on the first morning of the 110th US Open.

Without a winner since Tony Jacklin's 1970 victory at Hazeltine, the US Open has become an elusive prize for European golfers with Colin Montgomerie a three-time runner-up while Nick Faldo, Ian Woosnam and Miguel Angel Jimenez have also just missed out.
