U.S. Women's Open cut tracker: Live updates on who will make the cut
TOWN OF ERIN − The second round of the 2025 U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills is underway, with some players looking to better their position to win the championship on Sunday and others working toward getting to the weekend at all by making the cut. The field of 156 players will be trimmed to the top 60 scores and ties. Lexi Thompson watches her putt for birdie miss the hole on the ninth green during the first round of the U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills. The leader's score doesn't matter for the cut. Currently, the lead is 4-under par. But that number doesn't mean much for the cut line as the top-60 scores and ties will advance to the weekend. Advertisement Professionals who don't make the cut will still earn $10,000. U.S. Women's Open cut line According to the USGA, the projected cut line for the U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills is currently 2-over par for the tournament as the morning wave of tee times finished play. 6:30 p.m. update: Defending champion Yuka Saso to miss cut With the cut line holding firm at 1-over and fewer and fewer players left to finish, two-time U.S. Women's Open winner and defending champion Yuka Saso will miss the cut after shooting sent packingOne of the tournament favorites beginning the week was Jeeno Thitikul, the world's second-ranked player, but she was 3-over after two rounds and also missed the favorites Yani Tseng (+2), amateur Asterisk Talley (+2) and Lexi Thompson (+3) also did not make the weekend. 5 p.m. update: The cut line has moved A little after 5 p.m., the cut line dropped to 1-over, per the USGA.

Jeeno Thitikul, Brooke Henderson among notables to miss the cut at 2025 U.S. Women's Open
Jeeno Thitikul, Brooke Henderson among notables to miss the cut at 2025 U.S. Women's Open It was a tough week for many of the game's best at the 80th U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills. Among those who won't play the weekend are world No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul, a heavy favorite coming into the weekend, and the semi-retired Lexi Thompson, who announced she was stepping away from full-time competition exactly one year ago at this event. Both finished at 3 over for the tournament, along with two-time U.S. Women's Open champion Yuka Saso. The cut fell at 1 over, with exactly 60 players moving on to the weekend. Brooke Henderson finished bogey, double-bogey on her last two holes to shoot her second 75 of the week. The Canadian star has yet to contend in a tournament this season. One of the most shocking performances of the week came from two-time major winner Lilia Vu, who has battled a back injury. Vu shot 80-82 to finish near the bottom of the board. It's her first missed cut in a major since 2023. Phenom Asterisk Talley failed to make the weekend as she posted a pair of doubles on the back nine during her second round to narrowly miss the cut by a stroke at 2 over. Rose Zhang fought back with a 70 in her second round after an opening-round 76, but it also wasn't enough as she finished at 2 over, a single shot off the number. Leta Lindley, the oldest player in the field by more than a decade, won't fulfill her goal of playing on her 53rd birthday Sunday. The reigning U.S. Senior Women's Open champion shot 76-78 to finish at 10 over. Yani Tseng, the five-time major champion and former No. 1, hadn't made a cut on the LPGA since 2018. She birdied her final hole, hitting it to 3 feet on the par-3 ninth to shoot 72 and make the cut. Tseng, who has battled the yips now for several years, started putting left-handed several months ago and qualified for the U.S. Women's Open for the first time in nine years by advancing through sectional qualifying.

Former champ Kim in six-way tie for US Women's Open lead
CHICAGO: Former champion Kim A-lim fired six birdies in a four-under-par 68 to headline a group of six players tied atop a log-jammed leaderboard after the first round of the 80th US Women's Open on Thursday. Fellow South Korean Im Jin-hee, Japan's Rio Takeda, Americans Yealimi Noh and Angel Yin and Spanish LPGA rookie Julia Lopez Ramirez shared the lead, one stroke in front of a group of five players tied on three-under-par 69. Another seven players were two adrift, but Kim said she wouldn't expend her energy worrying about who might be in striking distance. 'Honestly, I'm not thinking about (the) leaderboard because my job is process, not result,' said Kim, who won the 2020 US Open in her major championship debut. 'Next three days, I play the same thing as today: focus on my line, hit it. That's all.' With little wind, Erin Hills, the rolling 6,829-yard par-72 layout in Erin, Wisconsin, offered perhaps its most benign face for the first round of the first US Women's Open to be held there. World No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul takes 1-shot lead into Americas' final round Noh, who holed out for an eagle at the 14th and birdied the par-five 18th, called it a 'good scoring day'. But plenty of marquee names were unable to join the 33 players to shoot under par. All about patience World number one Nelly Korda was playing catchup after a bogey at the third, finally getting to even par 72 with a birdie at the par-five 18th. Defending champion Yuka Saso's bid for a third US Open title in five seasons got off to a rocky start with a two-over-par 74. World number two Jeeno Thitikul of Tailand opened with a three-over 75 while third-ranked Lydia Ko of New Zealand – whose resume includes three major titles but no US Open – posted a one-over 73. 'I think I'm happy with it,' Korda said. 'Obviously, I wish the ball found the bottom of the cup a little bit more. 'First day of the US Open, it's all about patience. I'm striking it pretty well, so hopefully I can carry that into the next couple days.' While Korda struggled to get things going, Kim opened with back-to-back birdies at the 10th and 11th. After a bogey at the 12th she added birdies at 16 and 17 and took the solo lead at five-under with birdie bombs at the first and third before giving a stroke back at the sixth. Takeda had three birdies and one bogey on each side while Im opened with nine straight pars and had all four of her birdies in a five-hole span from the 10th through the 14th. Lopez Ramirez was also bogey-free, an impressive performance for the 22-year-old who came through qualifying to book her first US Open appearance. 'Honestly it's been my first bogey-free round since I turned pro, so it's quite exciting,' said the Spaniard, whose season was disrupted by an appendectomy in March. Lopez Ramirez and Yin were among the afternoon starters, Yin shaking off an early bogey with five birdies – including three in a row at eight, nine and 10 – before a setback at 17. In the right rough off the tee she came up short of the green, then saw her third shot spin off into a collection area, from where she managed to salvage a bogey. 'This is what this course can do,' said Yin, who regained a share of the lead with a birdie at the last.

Nelly Korda hoping patience pays off in quest to recapture the magic
Nelly Korda is preaching patience, but acknowledges that might be difficult for those admirers of the 'best swing in golf' who recall the American knocking off consecutive titles last year at record-breaking pace. Of course, it was unfeasible for Korda to maintain a run that brought her five successive tournament wins – including a major – and then proceed to make it six trophies from seven. Yet when Korda triumphed at the Mizuho Americas Open last May – the female game's superstar adding to her iconic image by raising her arms aloft with the New York City skyline and Statue of Liberty in the background – few would have predicted that there would only be one more success in the 12 months and 19 starts that followed. Going into this week's US Women's Open, the 26-year-old remains the world No 1, but it perhaps says plenty about the injection of realism into her story that Korda's status is under threat from Jeeno Thitikul. With two victories already this season, and three in her last nine appearances, the 22-year-old Thai has actually usurped Korda as the betting favourite for the major at Erin Hills – an achievement in itself. But Korda insists she remains unfazed. 'I can understand what people say, but this is just the game of golf and it's life and it's up and down,' Korda said at the Wisconsin course. 'Look, it's never going to be easy, and when you think you kind of have it figured out, it's just going to humble you really quickly. 'The thing is just always stay patient, keep doing what you're doing. What I've learnt is that I'm going to control what I can control. And what I can't? Well, I'm kind of going to let go of that and not stress about it and just go about my business. 'Look, last year was last year. What I achieved in 2024, no one can take that from me. That's always going to be such a great memory. But it's been a campaign and a fresh mindset. 'It's been a very interesting year for me. I definitely have had a bit of good and a bit of bad. I've kind of been in the mix in every event that I've played in.' Korda is wise not to panic, as she has the lowest scoring average on tour so far in 2025 and her form has hardly gone through the clubhouse floorboards. And even her dream season was not without its setbacks. After a two-month absence with neck issues that led to debilitating migraines, Korda returned in November and won in Florida. Since then she has racked up four top-seven placings in her most recent eight competitions, including a fifth behind Thitikul three weeks ago. Yet, despite finishing 14th in her defence at the Chevron Championship, the season's first major, last month, she was never in serious contention and her record at the US Women's Open certainly does not inspire great hope. Korda has played in her national championship on 10 occasions and only recorded two top-10s, with a best performance of eighth. She was seemingly at the peak of her powers last year, but shockingly shot a first-round 80 at Lancaster Country Club and comfortably missed the cut. It was the third time she had failed to qualify for the weekend in the last five editions of the US Women's Open. Considering the piles of garlands she has collected from other events, she would be forgiven for a feeling of indifference, but Korda was putting on a courageous and positive front as she prepared for a marquee first-round threeball on Thursday, also featuring countrywoman Lexi Thompson and England's Charley Hull. 'Yeah, it's tested me a lot over the years – but, I mean, it's the biggest test in the game and I love it,' she said. 'At the end of the day, this is why we do what we do, is to play these golf courses in these conditions, to test our games in every aspect. Not even just our games, but the mental side, as well. I enjoy it and I'm excited to see what this week is going to bring.' And Korda claims the expectations will not be a problem. 'Every year something has challenged me, and every year I learn a little bit more about myself and how to handle myself in certain situations,' she said. 'It's all about putting yourself into that position and being grateful for being in that spot. And relish it all. Even the pressure.'
