Thriston Lawrence takes outright lead at U.S. Open
Thriston (pronounced Tristan) Lawrence is 3 under through four holes and has it to 6 under ovaerall to give him the outright lead. He opened with a par (starting on the 10th hole) and then made back-to-back birdies.

Several of world's best golfers in danger of missing the cut at the U.S. Open
Oakmont is racking up victims.

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. World No. 12 Shane Lowry is suffering the same fate. He's 4 over through just three holes on Friday, and 13 over for the championship.

Sam Burns cards 65 to take early clubhouse lead on Friday at the U.S. Open
Sam Burns is less than a week removed from losing a marathon playoff in the 2025 RBC Canadian Open. The 28-year-old from Louisiana finished 18 under and finished second to Ryan Fox, who beat him in four extra holes.

While probably disappointed in last week's result, Burns is carrying that stellar play into Oakmont, following up a first-round 72 with a 5-under 65 on Friday. 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. Perez made a hole-in-one at the par-3 sixth during his second round at Oakmont, which was playing 192 yards.

How is this U.S. Open stacking up?
As of 11:30 a.m., there are eight players under par at Oakmont. How does that stack up to previous Opens at the course?
Viktor Hovland makes an eagle to get to 3 under
After Brooks Koepka (see below) chipped in for birdie on No. 17, Viktor Hovland went one better with this fantastic chip-in for eagle, which put him at 3 under for the championship.
Brooks Koepka posts three birdies on first eight holes
It was an up-and-down morning for Brooks Koepka, who snapped a streak of 28 consecutive major championship rounds in which he finished outside the top 10 on the leaderboard when he shot a 68 on Thursday.

On Friday, Koepka opened with a bogey, then followed with consecutive birdies on Nos. 11 and 12 (he started on the back) and then added another bogey on No. 14. He then chipped in from the fringe on No. 17, however, to get back to 3 under for the championship.
He made a bogey on 18, however, to fall back to 2 under.

Lynch: Phil Mickelson says a muted farewell to a mixed U.S. Open legacy
Lynch: Phil Mickelson says a muted farewell to a mixed U.S. Open legacy OAKMONT, Pa. — By the time Phil Mickelson signed his second-round scorecard at Oakmont Country Club, he had accounted for 8,704 strokes in his U.S. Open career. Most of those were routine, many of them sublime, a smattering excruciatingly painful, none moreso than the half-dozen he struck on the 72nd hole at Winged Foot in 2006. Friday's 74 — which included two double-bogeys down the stretch to miss the cut by a single shot — was his 120th round in his 34th tilt at the national title. It was also potentially his last, and if it proves so, then it draws to a close his tortured relationship with a tournament that has come to define both his career and his character. It may seem audacious to suggest that a man who owns three Masters, two PGA Championships and an Open is defined by the one major he didn't win, but the U.S. Open represents more than just an empty space in a Southern California trophy room, save for his six silver medals. It's the event that cemented the perception of Mickelson as a family man (Pinehurst, '99), as a putative rival to Tiger Woods (Bethpage, '02), as a hapless but gracious hero with no lay-up in him (Winged Foot, '06), as a populist entertainer gamely battling stringent course set-ups designed to punish his aggressive style (All of 'em, '90-'25). But it's also the event that exposed his antagonistic attitude toward golf's authorities and saw the early unraveling of his carefully cultivated 'Aw shucks' image. To be exact, that moment came with his 7,277th and most memorable stroke in the Open, when he hockeyed a moving ball on the 13th green at Shinnecock Hills in the third round seven years ago. It was more than just the frustration of a score going sideways or of another chance to complete the career grand slam ebbing away. It was an admission that the U.S. Open had finally broken him. That angry swipe — and his brazen defense of it — was a Foxtrot Uniform to the USGA. 'I've had multiple times when I've wanted to do that, and I finally did,' he told Curtis Strange afterward. The years since have cemented a new public perception of Mickelson that is wholly unflattering. His reputation among fans was sundered when he explicitly said he was willing to overlook murder and human rights abuses by his 'scary motherf'er' benefactors in Saudi Arabia if doing so gave him leverage over the PGA Tour to enrich himself. His standing in the locker room (never stellar) is positively fecal since he filed suit on behalf of LIV, claiming every entity in the game and some of his former colleagues were illegally conspiring against the Saudi enterprise. Now starved of the high-profile platform he used to enjoy, he satisfies himself with mild social media trolling, like his suggestion in March that Scottie Scheffler wouldn't win before the Ryder Cup (he has, three times). That was at least a break from his stream of far-right fever swamp posts about California taxes and how only citizens are entitled to due process (presumably when, just for example, they're caught up in insider trading investigations). Mickelson competed at Oakmont on the final year of an exemption earned by winning the '21 PGA Championship, but he has pathways to play future Opens. A strong finish in another major would earn an invitation — feasible at the Masters (where his institutional knowledge led to an improbable T-2 finish a couple years ago) or the British Open (which rewards two traits he has in abundance, imagination and guile). He could enter qualifying or win the U.S. Senior Open, which he's never entered. But his most likely avenue is a special exemption from the USGA. He actually received such an invitation in '21 but ultimately didn't need it when he won that PGA Championship. Much has changed in four years, however, and since these exemptions are goodwill gestures and most often reserved for former Open champions, savvy readers will immediately see two barriers to Mickelson obtaining one. His relationship with every non-Saudi entity in the sport is toxic, particularly the USGA. Only a couple years ago he said the organization was guilty of a 'dick move' for not admitting Talor Gooch to the Open, which is less insulting when one realizes that Mickelson accusing anyone of a dick move is akin to having Michelangelo praise your brushwork. The USGA's chief championships officer, John Bodenhamer, was asked about the possibility of a special pass. 'We would review things for Shinnecock ahead of next year and look at all of those possibilities and evaluate it from there,' he replied. "I think the way that we would also think of Phil is we hope he earns his way in, and I think he'd tell you the same thing.' For those conversant in the nomenclature of the USGA, that roughly translates as, 'Good luck, pal.' So it seems probable that we witnessed the end of Mickelson's long, tumultuous U.S. Open journey on this overcast Friday evening in front of muted spectators. Perhaps a Hall of Famer who has made many iconic contributions to this championship deserved a more fitting send-off, but decisions, actions and words have consequences. Like so many previous U.S. Opens, Phil Mickelson has only himself to blame for how disappointingly things ended.

USGA offers refund for ticketed fans because of playable but 'very saturated' Oakmont
OAKMONT, Pa. – After another round of storms drenched Oakmont, the USGA announced Saturday morning that it was offering a refund to any ticketed fans who didn't want to slog through the 'very saturated' areas outside the ropes. The USGA said that though the course was doused with significant rain, it was still 'championship ready' for the resumption of the second round, at 7:30 a.m., and was on schedule for the third round that will start at 9:30 a.m. 'Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of all spectators, access to certain viewing areas of the course will be limited throughout the day,' the USGA said. 'We want all ticket holders to be aware of these conditions prior to arriving on-site.' There has been historic rainfall in the greater Pittsburgh area over the past three months, including heavy rainfall in the week leading into the Open. Conditions the past few days have been warm and dry, leading to an increasingly firm course that saw the scoring average creep toward 75 on Friday (74.78). The cut line fell at 7-over 147. The second round was suspended at 8:15 p.m. Friday because of lightning in the area and eventually called for the day, after a band of showers dumped enough rain to cause pooling on the fairways and greens. The final group of Sam Burns and J.J. Spaun is scheduled to go off at 3:30 p.m.
