Who made the cut at the 2022 US Open? What big names won’t be playing this weekend?
Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen share the lead at the US Open heading into Saturday, while a number of big-name players missed the cut in Brookline.
At five under par, Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen are the joint leaders at the US Open after Friday’s second round at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Dahmen was one stroke off the lead after the first round, and he followed it up with a strong 68 in windy conditions. He is one of three players to shoot 68 or better in the opening two rounds. Morikawa came into the day at one under, and shot the round of the day as the only player to get around in 66.
McIlroy, Rahm among chasing pack on four under
One stroke back from the lead is a five-man group headlined by stars Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, along with American duo Hayden Buckley and Aaron Wise. Buckley and Wise were the two players along Dahmen to shoot back-to-back 68s.
Beau Hossler joined that group at four under thanks to a chip-in birdie on his final hole.
World number one Scottie Scheffler is part of the group at three under, and he shared the early clubhouse lead following a three-under 67. He is joined by Nick Hardy, Matthew NeSmith, Patrick Rodgers and Brian Harman to round out the top-10.
Overnight leader Adam Hadwin is a further shot back at two under with Sam Burns and Matt Fitzpatrick, while South Africa’s M.J. Daffue – who was three strokes clear atop the leaderboard early in his round at six under – posted five bogeys and no birdies down the back nine to head into the weekend at one under.
Also at one under are hopefuls Xander Schauffele and Will Zalatoris, still well within striking distance, while Hideki Matsuyama and Brooks Koepka headline the group at even par.
Star-studded duo Justin Thomas and Dustin Johnson are at one over, and the pair of Jordan Spieth and Bryson DeChambeau are at two over, one stroke clear of the cut-line.
Finishing right on the cut-line at three over was recent winner Lee Kyoung-hoon and Colombia’s Sebastian Munoz, who has a pair of top-three finishes this season.
Which major players missed the cut?
Plenty of big names missed the cut, with the international contingent of Spain’s Sergio García, Ireland’s Shane Lowry, Chile’s Mito Pereira and Canada’s Corey Conners all one shot out at four over. Tony Finau finished five over, Cameron Smith was six over, and the pair of Tommy Fleetwood and Viktor Hovland were both at seven over.
