US Open golf 2025: players face another testing day in second round
Update:
Date: 2025-06-13T11:00:46.000Z
Title: Preamble
Content: Day one wasn't exactly carnage – the course was relatively soft and receptive after rain earlier in the week, while there was little wind – but unless storms come at the weekend, something not yet certain, it's not going to get any easier. And despite it all, there were only ten players in a field of 156 who finished the first round under par.
-4: JJ Spaun
-3: Thriston Lawrence
-2: Kim Si-woo, Brooks Koepka, Im Sung-jae
-1: Ben Griffin, Thomas Detry, Jon Rahm, Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, James Nicholas
However there are very few big-name players not on that list who have played themselves out of it. Not Scottie and Bryson at +3, nor Rory and 54-year-old Phil the Thrill at +4. But the margins for error are smaller now. Should make for a great Moving-into-Moving-Day Day! Actually, let's not make that a thing.

Luke Littler sent fierce warning over controversial comments by German opponents ahead of World Cup of Darts
LUKE LITTLER and Luke Humhpries have been sent a fierce warning ahead of their World Cup of Darts clash against Germany. The England pair face Ricardo Pietreczko and Martin Schindler in the round of 16 in Frankfurt tonight. 3 3 Littler had previously gotten into a spat with Pietreczko and controversially slated Germany because of crowd problems. He posted on Instagram: "Shouldn't have been in Munich but had to play anyway. "Next one in Germany for me is Dortmund and I am glad to say that." Pietreczko - nicknamed 'Pikachu' - said: "I think it was a very funny game against both Lukes, because Luke Littler says never come back to Germany.' Schindler added: "I think the fans are going to play a major role in that. 'If we are going to play against bigger nations, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Netherlands or whoever, there are so many good names in it right now. "I think this probably is the best World Cup to be in and we are very happy about the support we are getting from the fans.' Littler clashed with 'Pikachu' in March when the German confronted him after being beaten. Luke Littler reveals he's signed up to HUGE reality show alongside YouTuber mate Pietreczko explained: "Well, I really appreciated him being able to play a game like that at such an age, but I hope his arrogance punishes him." Littler claimed he had no idea what he had done wrong but acknowledged "everyone wants to beat him". Away from the oche, the top two players in the world, Humphries and Littler, were both awarded an MBE on Friday as part of the King's Birthday Honours list for their contributions to sports. The award is a glaring example of how darts' growing appeal paralleled the pair's rise to the top. Humphries said: "I'm extremely honoured and delighted to be receiving an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours for services to darts. "To be recognised by the King for what I have achieved, and also for my contribution to playing in and promoting the sport that I love, is something that I never thought possible, but I'm very grateful that it has become a reality.'

Shane Lowry reflects on 'one of the stupidest things I've ever done' after breaking simple golf rule during difficult week at US Open
Shane Lowry was left cursing a moment of madness at the US Open after picking up his ball without marking it — a simple but costly mistake that led to a penalty stroke during his second round at Oakmont. The incident happened on the 14th green, where Lowry — facing a long-range par putt — lifted his ball before placing a marker behind it. His caddie, Darren Reynolds, immediately spotted the error. 'I just picked the ball up,' Lowry later admitted. 'I had the ball in my hand, turned around, and Darren basically said to me, "What are you doing?" 'I put it back down, marked it, and played on. I knew it was going to be penalised. I didn't know if it was going to be one or two [shots].' According to article 14.1c of the Rules of Golf, 'before lifting a ball under a Rule that requires it to be replaced on its original spot, the player must mark the spot.' Failing to do so results in a one-stroke penalty. If the ball is then replaced incorrectly, further penalties can apply — though Lowry avoided the latter by correcting his error. He was docked one stroke and went on to make a double bogey at the hole — one of several costly moments during two bruising days in Pennsylvania. Lowry called the slip 'probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done', but he managed to laugh at himself despite the frustration. 'Maybe my mind was somewhere else,' he added. 'But I fought. I still tried on every shot. That's all you can do in a week like this.' The 2019 Open champion ultimately missed the cut by 10 shots after rounds of 79 and 78, finishing 17 over par. Only three players were under par by the time he left the event on Friday. Lowry said he had arrived at Oakmont in good form, but never found any rhythm on the greens — ranking 153rd out of 156 in strokes gained putting. He three-putted four times across his two rounds and carded five double bogeys in total. 'I drove it in play a lot, did what I was supposed to off the tee, but I didn't have the game I've had for the last while,' he said. 'The round got away from me. I let it do to me what I said it wouldn't. But that's Oakmont. That's the US Open.' Lowry now heads to the Travelers Championship before returning home to Ireland for the first time since Christmas. 'I've been away from my wife and kids for a few weeks now, and there's another week next week,' he said. 'I'm looking forward to getting home, seeing all my friends and family.' In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he added: 'Never nice heading home early on major weekends. My game was in good shape heading into Oakmont but that's golf sometimes. I gave it my all on every shot and that's all I can ask.' 'I play with my heart on my sleeve. I've always been a fiery and passionate player and I'll continue to be. It's who I am and how I got here.' Lowry was not the only high-profile casualty at Oakmont, with Tommy Fleetwood, Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau also missing the cut.
