TOWN OF ERIN − The second round of the 2025 U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills is underway, with some players looking to better their position to win the championship on Sunday and others working toward getting to the weekend at all by making the cut.
The field of 156 players will be trimmed to the top 60 scores and ties.
Lexi Thompson watches her putt for birdie miss the hole on the ninth green during the first round of the U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills.
The leader's score doesn't matter for the cut. Currently, the lead is 4-under par. But that number doesn't mean much for the cut line as the top-60 scores and ties will advance to the weekend.
