MORE U.S. OPEN
Here’s how Day 2 played out in the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club.
Lowry shot 17 over over two days at Oakmont, a frustrating performance that included Lowry accidentally picking up his ball on the 14th green Friday without marking it first.
McIlroy smashed a tee marker on Oakmont’s 17th hole on Friday evening, then birdied his last hole to make the U.S. Open cut with a shot to spare.
Adam Scott may be “tried and true” in major championships, but his Thursday and Friday performance this particular week came as a surprise to the Live From the U.S. Open crew. But now, could he go out and win it?
Scottie Scheffler is not at his best in the U.S. Open, but it would be foolish to count him out. Scheffler speaks on his round and Brandel Chamblee breaks down what looks disjointed with the frustrated Scheffler’s swing.
Oakmont is a test not just of a golfer’s physical skills, but their mental ones, too. At 1 under -- one of just a few players under par -- through 36 holes, Viktor Hovland is passing.
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.
Burns, statistically the world’s best putter, hooped a clutch par save to shoot 65 Friday at Oakmont and enter this U.S. Open weekend at 3 under.
Hovland has been critical of his game, even in success. But he likes how things are trending through two rounds at Oakmont.

McIlroy made a pair of 6s in his first two holes Friday at the U.S. Open.
Burns grabbed the clubhouse lead Friday afternoon when he posted 3 under par after his second-round 65.
Perez recorded the second ace in U.S. Open history at Oakmont on Friday.

After Rory McIlroy sputtered down the stretch to a 4-over 74 in the opening round at Oakmont, Brandel Chamblee breaks down a swing flaw from McIlroy’s Thursday on Live From the U.S. Open.
