Editor's note: Follow along for live updates and highlights from Round 2 at the U.S. Open.
The U.S. Open leaderboard is filled with past major winners and so is the intriguing grind to simply make the cut at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
The 2026 U.S. Open cut line is a major talking point after a first round that began with heavy fog and a brutal wind made way for improved scoring conditions late Thursday afternoon and into Friday's second round. When the U.S. Open was last held at Shinnecock Hills in 2018, the cut line wound up at +8. It's unlikely to get that high this year.
Scottie Scheffler will be among the big names flirting with the cut line when his second round begins after a rocky 2-over 72 in the first round that featured several uncharacteristically wayward shots and more scrambling than usual. Bryson DeChambeau, Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka also need to play well to ensure they make the weekend at the U.S. Open.
