World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is narrowly inside the cutline at 4 over, but there are several others among the best in the world rankings that could be sent home early.
World No. 2 Rory McIlroy is the most notable of that group. After a 4-over 74 on Thursday, McIlroy stumbled out of the gate Friday, big time, making double bogeys on the first and third holes. He's 8 over, three shots off the 5-over cutline as of 2:40 p.m. ET.
World No. 5 Justin Thomas is certain to be done after today, going 76-76 to finish the first two rounds at 12 over. World No. 12 Shane Lowry is suffering the same fate. He's 4 over through just three holes on Friday, and 13 over for the championship.

Sam Burns cards 65 to take early clubhouse lead on Friday at the U.S. Open
Sam Burns is less than a week removed from losing a marathon playoff in the 2025 RBC Canadian Open. The 28-year-old from Louisiana finished 18 under and finished second to Ryan Fox, who beat him in four extra holes.

While probably disappointed in last week's result, Burns is carrying that stellar play into Oakmont, following up a first-round 72 with a 5-under 65 on Friday. Burns made six birdies and just one bogey and will head into the weekend likely in firm contention at 3 under.
Victor Perez makes the first ace at the 2025 U.S. Open
On Thursday, Patrick Reed's albatross dominated headlines as the best shot of the day.
But France's Victor Perez has an early entry for shot of the day on Friday, and it's going to be tough to beat. Perez made a hole-in-one at the par-3 sixth during his second round at Oakmont, which was playing 192 yards.
