Round 2 of the 2025 U.S. Open at Pennsylvania's Oakmont Country Club in full swing today.
J.J. Spaun became only the second golfer this century with a bogey-free U.S. Open round here thanks to a 66 yesterday but has found things harder today and currently trails new leader Thriston Lawrence by one.
Tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler struggled again and shot 71. He's +4 for the tournament, one shot ahead of Bryson DeChambeau. Rory McIlroy is even further back at +7 and is in danger of missing the cut. 1 on -5: Lawrence
2 on -4: Spaun
3 on -3: Burns (65)

You ever hear a story so good you need it to be real? The kind that reveals the truth at the core of the tale, telling the entire saga of a place and its people.
One of those fables passed down and recited from one generation to the next, each version carrying a few new details and a little more punch. The more times the story gets told, the more ubiquitous it becomes. The more it becomes the truth.
There's a story about Oakmont Country Club the members love to tell. And they're right to tell it. Because it's the perfect story about the hardest golf course in America, the place just outside of Pittsburgh hosting the U.S. Open this week.
It's the perfect story about the Fownes family, the father and son who built this course and believed so deeply in the sanctity of par, the famous W.C. Fownes line goes: 'A shot poorly played should be a shot irrevocably lost.'
And this story? The people of Oakmont always believed it to be factual. Until very recently. 'Well…' Oakmont historian David Moore says with a chuckle. 'There's a little debate about that right now.'
Read more on the fact (and fiction) surrounding this historic course, below.

Oakmont, the site of this year's U.S. Open, and the tall tale that tells it all
Oakmont Country Club, near the Allegheny River in western Pennsylvania, has center stage for a record 10th time in the history of the U.S. Open.
The course, known for its precision-cut greens and treacherously deep rough, lived up to its reputation during a chaotic first round where several of golf's top stars, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, struggled mightily.
The U.S. Open was also held here in 1927, 1935, 1953, 1962, 1973, 1983, 1994, 2007, and most recently in 2016, where Dustin Johnson won his first career major.
Both the country club and golf course were established in 1903. It sits 1,000 feet above sea level and is a par 70 for U.S. Open tournaments.
Summer may be here, but the action across the sports world rolls on!
The NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers is in full swing, as is the NHL's Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.
Additionally, the drama in the MLB season is ramping up ahead of the trade deadline, and the FIFA Club World Cup in the U.S. is just around the corner!
