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.

Some of the world’s most recognizable names in golf, including defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, won’t be around at the US Open this weekend after missing the cut at the brutal Oakmont Country Club.

Phil Mickelson, who is potentially playing in his final U.S. Open, was among the most painful missed cuts after closing with two double bogeys on his final four holes to finish at 8 over, one off the cut number. The six-time runner-up at the U.S. Open had plenty of company in misery at Oakmont, including the notable names below.

The two-time major winner almost committed a massive rules gaffe Thursday as the 2025 U.S. Open got underway at Oakmont Country Club, when his shot out of the bunker on the par-5 fourth hole landed on a crosswalk and he opted to take free relief.

Bryson DeChambeau gave the first official confirmation of his deal length, verifying Tuesday that his LIV contract runs through the 2026 season. Speaking before the U.S. Open as he attempts to defend his win last year, DeChambeau seemed to brush off indications he’s rushing to return to the PGA Tour.

Under contract with LIV Golf, DeChambeau is one of the many top stars in the sport the fan-base at large rarely sees, as the majority of the viewing audience at home only gets to see Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson and Co. when they cross paths with the PGA Tour pros at majors.

Though contracts for those who signed with LIV have not been made publicly available, it has been largely understood in the golf industry that DeChambeau signed for north of $100 million on a deal that ends in 2026.
