Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The 126th U.S. Open is progressing rapidly, with the cut line set to eliminate many players from the 156-player field after the second round.
- The cut line includes the top 60 players and ties, allowing those who make it to play the weekend and earn prize money.
- DataGolf estimates a 73% chance the cut will be at +4, a 19% chance at +5, and only a 7% chance at +3, with it unlikely to be higher than +5.
- Notable players at risk of missing the cut include Bryson DeChambeau (+5), Shane Lowry (+6), Jon Rahm (+6), and defending champion J.J. Spaun (+7).
- Similar playing conditions on Friday as Thursday's afternoon wave may help some players post lower scores, potentially benefiting those like Spaun who need to improve.
