Bryson DeChaumbeau‘s repeat bid at the 2025 U.S. Open has ended after 36 holes.
The two-time U.S. Open winner was among the dozens who were cut from the 156-player field following two rounds at the difficult Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania.
DeChambeau, who had a chance to become just the seventh golfer to win at least three U.S. Open titles, will exit the major tournament at 10 over after shooting 7-over 77 in Round 2 on Friday. He’s one of six former U.S. Open champions who finished outside the cut line.
Meanwhile, Sam Burns took over the top spot on the leaderboard thanks to a 5-under 65 — the top score in this year’s tournament so far — putting him at 3 under overall. Burns, in search of his first major title, is one of just three golfers who are under par entering the weekend, along with J.J. Spaun and Viktor Hovland.
Spaun dropped from first to second at 2 under after shooting 2-over 72 on Friday, while Hovland moved up to third at 1 under with a 2-under 68 second round.
Two-time tournament champion Brooks Koepka is still within striking distance at 2 over. Three-time major champion and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler sits at 4 over, while Rory McIlroy, who completed a career grand slam with his Masters victory earlier this year, managed to make the cut despite being 6 over.
