The 125th U.S. Open is underway at the challenging Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, a venue renowned for its difficulty and rich history in hosting the major championship. After two rounds, Sam Burns has emerged as the leader, carding an impressive 5-under 65, the best round of the tournament so far, placing him at 3-under overall.
Burns Seizes the Lead
Sam Burns' exceptional performance has propelled him to the top of the leaderboard. He's closely followed by J.J. Spaun, who sits one stroke behind at 2-under. Viktor Hovland is also in contention, positioned at 1-under. These are the only three golfers currently under par as the tournament heads into the weekend.
Notable Players and the Cut Line
The projected cut line currently stands at +7, which would allow the top 60 players (and ties) to continue competing. Several prominent golfers are hovering around this crucial threshold. Rory McIlroy secured his spot for the weekend with a birdie on his final hole, while others like Justin Thomas, Shane Lowry, and Ludvig Åberg face the possibility of missing the cut.
Two-time U.S. Open winner Bryson DeChambeau will not be continuing at the 2025 U.S. Open. He finished at 10 over par. Other former U.S. Open champions have also missed the cut.
