Sam Burns is the 36-hole leader at Oakmont in the 125th U.S. Open, but it's not just his world-best putting doing the work: It's his iron play, too. Watch his highlights and hear from him before Live From weighs in.

Sam Burns capped his second-round, 5-under 65 with a 22-foot par save on his final hole.

Burns ran into trouble off the tee at the par-4 ninth, his 18th, and took a penalty-stroke drop into the fairway. He played his third shot safely onto the green and then perfectly read a big-breaking left-to-righter.

Burns, who lost in a playoff at last week’s RBC Canadian Open, had five bogeys and a double in his opening 72. He carded only one square Friday, while adding six circles.

At 3 under par, Burns held the clubhouse lead as the afternoon wave was setting out at Oakmont Country Club.
