U.S. Open 2025 leaderboard: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy all chasing J.J. Spaun
The third major championship of the season is here, and all eyes were on Scottie Scheffler as he teed off in the afternoon wave of the 125th U.S. Open. But it's Scheffler whose eyes are looking up the leaderboard.
The world No. 1 struggled in Round 1, carding a 3-over 73. That leaves him seven shots back of leader J.J. Spaun, who went bogey-free in his round of 66.

As for Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau, it was a grind, with both struggling to remain in contention after their first rounds. DeChambeau is in with a 3-over 73, while McIlroy shot a 4-over 74.
Scheffler started off the week as the biggest favorite the event has seen in 16 years. And for good reason. He's won three of his last four starts and has absolutely dominated the golf world in recent weeks. He won the PGA Championship by five shots last month, too, to claim his third major championship title. A win for him this week would bring him just a British Open away from completing the career grand slam.
But it's going to take Scheffler to better golf in Round 2 if he's to win ... or even make the cut.

'The Traitors' Season 4 cast revealed: 2 Delaware figure skaters and an Eagles mom
The most treacherous show on reality TV is back with a whole new cohort. "The Traitors" revealed its Season 4 cast on June 13, according to a press release from Peacock. The lineup includes up stars from franchises like "Big Brother," "Love Island" and "The Real Housewives," as well as a certain celebrity football mom. There also will a few Delaware and Philadelphia-area connections too. The Emmy-winning series will see three-time national champion and two-time Olympian Johnny Weir, the Greenville resident who began competitive skating at 12 at the University of Delaware. Also the figure skating world, Tara Lipinski, who had periodically trained at UD before becoming the youngest figure-skating Olympic gold medalist when she won the women's singles at age 15, will also appear on the show. In line with the trend of having a celebrity relative on the cast − last season saw Zac Efron's brother Dylan Efron become one of its winners − the newest season will include Donna Kelce, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. Viewers will have to wait for the season premiere before learning which contestants will be Faithfuls and which will be Traitors. And just like Season 2 and 3, there's a possibility more reality stars will be revealed later on. Here is who is officially on the Season 4 cast, according to Peacock.

Rory McIlroy Clowned by U.S. Open Fans amid Brutal Oakmont Performance
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy is among the biggest victims of that monster that goes by the name of Oakmont Country Club. The Northern Irishman shot a not very flattering 4-over 74 in the first round of the 2025 US Open, and his performance has only worsened during the second round. McIlroy carded a 4-over on the first three holes on Friday, temporarily putting himself outside the cut line. Given how polarizing he is in the golf world, it's no surprise that many fans took to social media to mock his performance. Rough start for Rory on Friday. It's an opening double bogey. He's now +6 for the championship. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 2025 "What is going on with Rory McIlroy? Starting to think winning the masters was a bad thing!", @DanNorthernGolf posted. "Every ounce of motivation left Rory McIlroy after donning that green jacket," was @Khambe_Huda's take. "Rory McIlroy out there pretending to be playing golf because he has not been serious since the masters. he just swinging clubs and sh*t like he don't give a damn of it's cut day," @theblack_caesar said. "Watching Rory Mcilroy turn into Patrick Cantlay at the majors has been less than fun," @DuBoseDefense wrote. "Who is the guy in blue tee-shirt playing with Shane and Justin ? He looks like Rory McIlroy!" @Franc_TERRIER posted. The second round started off on the wrong foot for McIlroy, as he sent his bomb-like tee shot 342 yards straight into a fairway bunker. His second shot was even worse, as he couldn't make good contact with the ball and sent it just 55 feet into the dreaded Oakmont rough. Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland walks to the 11th green during the first round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 12, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland walks to the 11th green during the first round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 12, 2025 in Oakmont, got worse for the Northern Irishman, as he couldn't get his ball on the green with his third shot. Once again in the rough, he chipped it past the pin, but the ball didn't spin as he'd hoped and landed 17 feet short of the hole. He then two-putted for double bogey. The five-time major champion seemed to recover his pace, parring the 2nd hole, but his problems resurfaced on the 3rd. There, part of the story from the 1st hole was repeated, as he again hit a drive of over 340 yards and again landed it in a fairway bunker. His second shot wasn't as bad as on the 1st hole, but he still couldn't reach the fairway and left the ball in the rough. He also failed to miss the ball on the green with his third shot. The rest was similar: he chipped it to within 12 feet of the hole and then two-putted for double bogey. McIlroy missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open just a week ago, his first missed cut since the 2024 Open Championship last July. The 29-time PGA Tour winner hasn't missed two consecutive cuts since the 2012 season. More Golf: Scottie Scheffler's U.S. Open Hopes Staring at Historic Difficulty
