He opened with a par (starting on the 10th hole) and then made back-to-back birdies. Thriston Lawrence and his caddie line up a shot on the 18th hole during the first round of the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. Several of world's best golfers in danger of missing the cut at the U.S. Open Oakmont is racking up victims. Advertisement World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is narrowly inside the cutline at 4 over, but there are several others among the best in the world rankings that could be sent home early. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy is the most notable of that group. After a 4-over 74 on Thursday, McIlroy stumbled out of the gate Friday, big time, making double bogeys on the first and third holes. He's 8 over, three shots off the 5-over cutline as of 2:40 p.m. ET. World No. 5 Justin Thomas is certain to be done after today, going 76-76 to finish the first two rounds at 12 over.

Burns made six birdies and just one bogey and will head into the weekend likely in firm contention at 3 under. Victor Perez makes the first ace at the 2025 U.S. Open On Thursday, Patrick Reed's albatross dominated headlines as the best shot of the day. But France's Victor Perez has an early entry for shot of the day on Friday, and it's going to be tough to beat.

NBA Finals Game 4 updates: Thunder vs Pacers predictions, time, where to watch Show Caption Hide Caption Pacers and Thunder NBA Finals is better than it's 'small-market' billing USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt breaks down the star-studded NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder. Sports Pulse The Indiana Pacers are two games away from winning the franchise's first championship, thanks to an unlikely hero. Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin scored a game-high 27 points off the bench in the Pacers' 116-107 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to lift the Pacers to a 2-1 series lead. Tyrese Haliburton added 22 points and 11 rebounds and Pascal Siakam had 21 points, marking the duo's best scoring showing in the championship series so far. The Thunder's big three — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (24 points), Jalen Williams (26) and Chet Holmgren (20) —combined for 70 of the Thunder's 107 points in Game 3, but the trio failed to get much help. Oklahoma City's bench was held to just 18 points, with eight points coming from Alex Caruso in 32 minutes of play. The Oklahoma City Thunder will need to come out with a sense of urgency and protect the ball to avoid falling 3-1 to the Pacers.
