There’s no such thing as a quick 18 holes at the U.S. Open, particularly when it’s at Oakmont. Players needed 5½ hours or more to get through each of the opening two rounds.

Sam Burns did what many people would deem impossible on Friday at the 2025 US Open. Burns claimed the 36-hole lead at Oakmont Country Club with a five-under 65, the best round of the tournament through two rounds. Burns holds a one-shot lead over 18-hole leader JJ Spaun, who dropped two shots after his opening-round 66.

The second round of the U.S. Open will resumed on June 14 at 7:30 a.m., with 13 players returning to finish either one or two holes.

DeChambeau shot 7-over 77 in the second round and became the first defending champion to miss the cut since 2020.

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.

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.

OAKMONT, Pa. — Now this is why we watch the U.S. Open: carnage, high scores, seething players. We watch the world’s greatest hack their way around a course, missing fairways, missing greens, missing putts, throwing ugly numbers up on the board, and we think, "Now you know how we feel."

OAKMONT, Pa. — To all U.S. Open sadists, rejoice: We’re at the halfway mark, and only three players are under par. And possibly only two, as there are reports Sam Burns may be disqualified amid rumors he was playing a different course.
