Adam Scott is hoping the weather forecast proves spot on so he can adopt a more aggressive approach than many of his US Open rivals. Rain is predicted for Thursdays first round at Oakmont, where tournament officials felt moved to cut the rough after conceding that it was too penal when combined with legendarily fast greens.Such conditions have prompted the likes of Jason Day and Rory McIlroy to plot a somewhat conservative game plan, but Scott is hoping the rain will help him challenge for a second major title. Ways to watch How to follow the US Open this week I was here a week and a half ago and it was playing nice and firm, Scott said on Wednesday. It rained a lot that night and I played the next day with Rory, and both of us probably made five or six birdies each that day, playing really nicely. The fairways become slightly wider because a ball down the edge of the fairway doesnt run out into the rough. Even though it may play longer, I think it will play much easier if it rains. Adam Scott of Australia watches his tee shot on the third hole during the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational I think youve got to challenge this golf course. You look at the field, you look at the quality of players and how well a lot of the top players are playing and its going to be a very, very difficult golf course to lay back and execute perfectly all week.That doesnt necessarily mean attack. Youve got to be a little bit smart, of course, but I think my plan certainly is to challenge this golf course this week.Dustin Johnson is another late starter during the opening round, featuring in a threeball with Hideki Matsuyama and Sergio Garcia. Johnson has been at Oakmont all week Johnson famously three-putted the 18th at Chambers Bay last year to narrowly miss out on US Open victory, but comes into the event in good form on the back of consecutive top-five finishes at the Memorial and the St. Jude Classic.The American has also practiced at Oakmont ahead of the second major of the year, but hopes the weather doesnt alter the course condition.I played last Tuesday and it had rained pretty good Monday night, so Ive played when it was soft, Johnson told a pre-tournament press conference on Wednesday. I hit a couple more drivers than I would if the conditions play like this the rest of the week. Johnson already has seven top-10s in 2016 With softer fairways, the fairways get a little bit wider, and you can be a little more aggressive. I did get to play it when it was soft, so I do have an idea of how it plays if it does rain and its soft on Thursday.The conditions right now though I think are really great so hopefully, if it does rain, it doesnt rain much.Watch the US Open throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.

Alvarez put a second-string Argentina ahead in the first half with a shot from the edge of the penalty area. Messi, Sergio Aguero and Angel Di Maria came on in the second half and combined elegantly to double the lead in the 67th minute. Aguero headed down a pass from Di Maria to set up Messi, who calmly slotted the ball past Slovenia goalkeeper Vid Belec. Argentina, which is set to travel to Brazil on Monday, faces Bosnia-Herzegovina in its Group F opener on June 15. "We are in good shape. We are a strong group, which is what weve been hoping to become from the start when (coachh) Alejandro (Sabella) came in," Messi said.dddddddddddd Sabella took over the national team in 2011. "Little by little, as we played well, we gained confidence," Messi said. Slovenia didnt qualify for the World Cup and was no match for Argentina even in a sleepy first half, when Sabella rested his top players. Belec saved the visitors from a bigger deficit, stopping two attempts by Maxi Rodriguez before halftime. Slovenias best chance came in the second half as Milivoje Novakovic spun around in the area and fired a shot straight at Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero. The hosts were not seriously challenged after that and came close to making it 3-0 in overtime when Messis free kick went just wide. ' ' '
