Oakmont Country Club has delivered as advertised across the first two rounds of the 2025 U.S. Open leaving most of the 156-man field battered and beaten by the toughest golf course in the United States.

Sam Burns avoided the late meltdown that cost him in the first round of the U.S. Open OAKMONT, Pa. — The pounding rain arrived far too late to douse so many of the meltdowns across Oakmont on Friday in a U.

Sam Burns avoided a meltdown that ruined his opening round at the U.S. Open and wound up with a big par save on his last hole for a 5-under 65 and the 36-hole lead.

The second round of the 2025 U.S. Open was suspended at 8:15 p.m. ET on Friday due to lighting in the area with a handful of golfers still on the course. The cut line won't be finalized until the second round officially concludes Saturday when play resumes.

The U.S. Open field has officially been trimmed down. The second round of the tournament at Oakmont Country Club came to a close on Friday night and only three participants were under par. Sam Burns led all golfers at three under par while J.J. Spaun was second at two under and Victor Hovland rounded out the top three at one under par.

Two rounds of the U.S. Open are (almost) in the books, and it has been as difficult as advertised so far. The vast majority of the field shot over par in the first two days, with only a handful of players ending Friday under par.
