US Open live stream 2022: how to watch major golf online from anywhere – Round 4 tees off with Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris leading
Zalatoris and Fitzpatrick top a leaderboard stacked with serial winners
Could anybody have dreamed of a more beautifully poised final day of the 2022 US Open? Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick, who don’t have a PGA Tour title between them, share the lead on 4-under, but reigning champion Jon Rahm and world No.1 Scottie Scheffler are right on their tails, and having each led the field on a chaotic Saturday, they'll feel like top spot is only under temporary ownership. Another gusty day at Brookline means the leaderboard is only ever one bad decision away from being flipped on its head, so make sure you know how to watch a 2022 US Open live stream online from anywhere in the world, with or without cable and satellite TV.

Moving Day certainly lived up to the name, with Xander Schauffele and erstwhile overnight co-leader Collin Morikawa faded spectacularly under tricky conditions to fall out of contention. And they were far from the only ones. Rory McIlroy and Joel Dahmen also struggled to deal with the whipping winds on an afternoon when anything better than a bogey felt like something to build on.
So it was doubly frustrating when Scheffler eagled the 8th to go 6-under with a two-shot lead, only to drop back to T4 at 2-under. Rahm had a similarly bittersweet round, which started terribly before an immense turnaround saw him surge into the lead, and finally ended with an painful double-bogey on the 18th.
Fitzpatrick endured a nightmare final round at the PGA Championship last month, but will be buoyed by memories of winning the US Amateur championship at the Country Club in 2013. Zalatoris has been consistently brilliant at majors since his breakthrough a year ago, and he won't be short of goodwill from the galleries, having finished on the losing side of the playoff at Southern Hills.
And beyond those four lurk the ominous figures of McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Min Woo Lee. Follow our guide as we explain how to watch a US Open live stream online so that you don't miss a moment from Brookline. We've also listed tee times, leaders, and the latest Brookline weather forecast further down the page.

US Open 2022 dates: when is the US Open being played this year?
The tournament teed off on Thursday, June 16, with the final round set to be played on Sunday, June 19.
US Open 2022: weather forecast for Brookline
The glorious conditions of Thursday feel like a distant memory after Saturday's chaos, and it's set to be another gray and gusty day at Brookline for Round 4 of the 2022 US Open.
Bostonians woke up to light rain on Sunday morning, but the forecasts suggest that Brookline might just get lucky and avoid the worst of it.
Why was Phil Mickelson allowed to play at the 2022 US Open?
Phil Mickelson was one of several players who took part in the 2022 US Open despite no longer being a member of the PGA Tour.
Lefty was the highest-profile player to be suspended from the PGA Tour because of his involvement in the Saudi Arabia-funded LIV Golf breakaway tour.
Others, such as Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen, opted to jump before they could be pushed, resigning their memberships when it became clear they'd no longer be welcome on the PGA Tour.
However, as the US Open is hosted by the United States Golf Association (USGA), the PGA Tour and the Professional Golfers' Association of America have no say in who gets to compete in the event.
Who won the US Open last year?
Jon Rahm birdied the last two holes at Torrey Pines last year to become the first Spaniard to win the US Open. He pipped Louis Oosthuizen to the post right at the last, with Harris English finishing in third.
Bryson DeChambeau, the defending champion at the time, had the lead at the midway point of the final round, but self-destructed spectacularly on the back-nine, a pair of bogeys, a double-bogey and a quadruple-bogey sending him all the way down to 26th.
Is Tiger Woods playing in the US Open this year?
With the LIV Golf fallout currently the biggest storyline in golf, Tiger Woods' status took a distant back seat in the lead-up to the 2022 US Open.
In an announcement earlier this month, the three-time US Open winner announced that he would not take part in this year's tournament, as he needs time off to continue his recovery from a life-threatening car crash last year.
Not only did Woods compete at the Masters in April and the PGA Championship in May, but he made the cut at both. However, he opted out of the latter stages of the PGA Championship when the condition of his leg worsened.
Who has won the most US Opens?
Willie Anderson (1901, 1903, 1904, 1905), Bobby Jones (1923, 1926, 1929, 1930), Ben Hogan (1948, 1950, 1951, 1953) and the Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicklaus (1962, 1967, 1972, 1980), have each won the US Open four times.
Anderson has the distinction of winning three consecutive editions of the tournament, while Nicklaus took a rather different route to his joint-record haul, spreading his four triumphs across 19 years.
Tiger Woods (2000, 2002, 2008) is one of two players to have won the US Open three times, with Hale Irwin (1974, 1979, 1990) the other. Irwin remains the oldest player to have won the US Open, at the age of 45 years and 15 days old.
