Key Points:
- Max McGreevy surged into a tie for second place after birdieing two of his last three holes, now just three shots behind the leader at the U.S. Open.
- The projected cut line is expected to be between +3 and +5, putting notable players like Bryson DeChambeau, Aaron Rai, Shane Lowry, and Viktor Hovland at risk of missing the weekend.
- Bryson DeChambeau received a two-stroke penalty for throwing his club on the sixth hole during Round 1, contributing to a challenging start that has him at +2 after a double bogey and multiple bogeys.
- Amateur Ryder Cowan is performing impressively at -3, three shots off the lead, defying expectations as amateurs typically fade in the U.S. Open; the last amateur winner was in 1933.
- Jason Day withdrew from the tournament after 10 holes due to a back injury, ending his 14th U.S. Open appearance while 7-over par.
