US Open leaderboard updates: Scores, highlights from Friday's second round

Show Caption

Sam Burns has taken over the top spot at 3-under-par after a strong performance in the second round at Oakmont Country Club on Friday. He moved up 32 spots from Thursday.

J.J. Spaun sat at the top of the US Open leaderboard to start the day, but is now sitting in second on the leaderboard after shooting a 72 on Friday.

Burns and Spaun will continue to battle at the top of the leaderboard on Saturday with plenty of contenders looming just a few shots back with scoring so hard at what's traditionally the toughest major on the golf calendar.

Viktor Hovland is third on the leaderboard followed by Adam Scott and Ben Griffin, who are tied for fourth place.

Several golfers, such as Thriston Lawrence and Chris Gotterup, were trying to finish out the round on Friday evening when rain started to pour. Despite the best efforts of some, the weather forced a delay in the action and forced the second round to officially conclude on Saturday morning before the start of the third round can begin.

Paste BN Sports provided complete coverage of Friday's second round. Follow along:

Rain delays second round action late

The rain began to come down hard on Friday and the several players finished out the second round in the evening. The group featured Sam Stevens and golfers such as Edoardo Molinari and Thorbjørn Olesen, who were trying to make the cut.

US Open officials blew the horn at 8:15 p.m. ET, alerting the field that there's lightning in the area and the action has been delayed. It was mentioned on the broadcast that the final part of the round is expected to begin early Saturday morning.

Burns sits on top of leaderboard

Sam Burns has sole possession of the top after his play in the second round. He shot a 65 to finish 5-under-par for the day. He moved up 32 spots on the leaderboard Friday, finishing the first two days of the event 3-under-par.

J.J. Spaun took a small step back, shooting a 72 (two-over-par for the round) for the second round. He is currently in second place at 2-under-par as the rest of the field continues to sort itself out to end Friday's action.

Spaun back at the top of the leaderboard

J.J. Spaun is finishing his second round strong after making a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 17, bringing him to 3-under and tying for the lead with Sam Burns.

Lowry forgets to make ball

Shawn Lowry fails to make his putt on the No. 14 hole and quickly realizes it before the disappointment sets in, highlighting the mental pressure this challenging course puts on golfers. As a result, he adds +1 to his score, bringing him to +16 as he heads into the final four holes of the second round. He is not expected to make the cut.

Spaun Bogey's at No. 15

J.J. Spaun remains at -3 and is currently tied with Sam Burns for the lead after making a bogey on the 15th hole as he heads into his final three holes of the second round. Close behind Spaun and Burns are Thomas Detry and Thriston Lawrence, both at -2, tied for third place.

Rory McIlroy's frustrating U.S. Open continues

Masters champion Rory McIlroy is struggling again at Oakmont Friday. His front nine included two double bogeys in his first three holes and he's in a fight just to make the cut for the weekend. It seemed like he might find some momentum after he got a birdie at No. 9 but he followed it up with another bogey at No. 11.

His frustration seemed to boil over at No. 12 after he hit his tee shot into the fairway. His ensuing approach shot sailed into the rough, no where near where McIlroy intended and he immediately tossed his club at least 10 yards. McIlroy managed to save par on the hole, but he's at 8-over with six holes to go. The cut line currently sits at +6.

J.J. Spaun leads U.S. Open again

J.J. Spaun got back on track with a birdie at No. 11 and then completed a beautiful lag put to save par at No. 12 while Thriston Lawrence's troubles around the green continued. Lawrence just three-putted for the third-straight hole resulting in a third-straight bogey. In a matter of three holes, Lawrence has gone from having a three-shot lead to giving that lead back to Spaun.

Consecutive bogeys by Thriston Lawrence

Lawrence's fast start didn't last. After briefly taking a three-shot lead on the field, back-to-back bogeys at No. 14 and No. 15 ‒ combined with a birdie by J.J. Spaun ‒ have created a tie atop the 2025 U.S. Open leaderboard again.

Thriston Lawrence grabs solo lead at U.S. Open

A hot start by Thriston Lawrence has given the U.S. Open a new leader. Lawrence has birdies on three of his first four holes to move to 6-under for the tournament. He has a two-shot lead on first-round leader J.J. Spaun.

Thomas Detry's hole-out eagle continues wild second round

Thomas Detry's second round has been a wild ride so far, and he's only through five holes thus far. He started off with a double bogey on his first role (No. 10), birdied No. 11, then bogeyed No. 12 and got it together for a par at No. 13. But the 14th hole is where it all went a little crazy.

Detry holed out his approach shot from 141 yards for an eagle and it pushed him back into the top five of the U.S. Open leaderboard.

Thriston Lawrence is new U.S. Open co-leader

A birdie at No. 11 by Thriston Lawrence and J.J. Spaun's second bogey of the second round have created a two-way tie atop the leaderboard with both Lawrence and Spaun at 4-under for the tournament. There are now just five golfers under par as of 3:30 p.m. ET Friday.

Spaun extends lead by 2

J.J. Spaun continues to gain traction and, after another birdie on No. 6, increases his lead by two shots, sitting at -5 through six holes.

Spaun reclaims the solo lead

After a lengthy par 5 on the third hole, J.J. Spaun regained the lead by making a birdie on the fourth hole, bringing his score to -4. The leaderboard remains competitive, with Sam Burns and Thriston Lawrence tied for second place at -3.

Rory McIlroy starts Friday with double bogey

Rory McIlroy's terrible close to the first round carried over into his start to the second round. McIlroy just wound up with a double bogey at No. 1 after hitting his tee shot into one of Oakmont's treacherous fairway bunkers. His second shot out of the sand went just 17 yards and then went through another three-shot adventure around the green.

McIlroy now sits at 6-over for the tournament and will now be up against it trying to make the cut throughout his second round.

Crowded U.S. Open leaderboard after J.J. Spaun's first bogey

J.J. Spaun's time alone atop the 2025 U.S. Open leaderboard has come to an end after his first bogey of the tournament on Oakmont's No. 3 hole. He's now tied for first at 3-under for the tournament with Sam Burns and Thriston Lawrence, who has to yet to tee off. There are only eight golfers currently under par for the tournament and nearly 35 golfers are within six shots of the lead.

Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka struggle but still in contention

The world's No. 1 golfer and a two-time U.S. Open champion both struggled around Oakmont Friday, but held it together enough to make the cut and stay within reach of the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend.

Scheffler sits at 4-over par after posting back-to-back rounds over par for the first time this year. He had six bogeys on Thursday and another five on Friday, but is probably one good round Saturday from being back in contention.

Koepka got off to a good start by firing a 2-under 68 that had many wondering if he was back to form. But two birdies on the first three holes to begin Friday's second round, Koepka had his issues with Oakmont's treacherous terrain. He finished with seven bogeys over his final 13 holes and sits at 2-over heading into the weekend

Sam Burns closes out best round of 2025 U.S. Open

Sam Burns' capped off his charge up the second-round leaderboard with a long putt to save par on the par 4 ninth hole at Oakmont after hitting his tee shot way off the fairway. His 5-under 65 on Friday is the best round of the tournament thus far and puts him in a tie for second at 3-under for the tournament as he heads to clubhouse.

The 28-year-old from Shreveport, Louisiana could very well end up in the lead heading into Saturday's third round given how tough the course is playing ... for everyone but Burns at the moment. He has as many birdies through 36 holes (11) as Dustin Johnson had the entire tournament when he won the U.S. Open at Oakmont in 2016.

J.J. Spaun tees off with the U.S. Open lead

J.J. Spaun ended his first round as the leader in the clubhouse at the 2025 U.S. Open and he began his second round Friday in the same position. Though Sam Burns has charged to within one shot of him Friday morning, Spaun's 4-under 66 held overnight and into the afternoon wave of tee times at Oakmont. Let's see how he handles the pressure with a leaderboard that's really packed together because of the tough scoring conditions.

Viktor Hovland, Sam Burns move to within one shot of lead

The golfers putting together the two best rounds of the morning wave at Oakmont Friday are now tied for second behind J.J. Spaun on the 2025 U.S. Open leaderboard. Sam Burns and Viktor Hovland each birdied No. 4 and then Hovland followed with another birdie on No. 5.

Both started their second round on the back nine and moved to 3-under for the tournament. Both sit just one shot behind Spaun. Burns has six birdies. Hovland has five birdies and an eagle.

Victor Perez's rare Oakmont hole-in-one

Friday's second round got another jolt from Victor Perez.

He used a 7-iron for his tee shot on the 192-yard par 3 No. 6 and wound up with the second hole-in-one ever recorded during a U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. Perez celebrated by chest bumping his caddie. The shot also moved Perez to +1 for the tournament and into the top 15 on the leaderboard.

Sam Burns surges up Friday leaderboard at U.S. Open

Burns was off to a good start on Thursday afternoon before struggling down the stretch on the back nine to ruin an otherwise strong first round. But he's shaken that off and come out swinging again on Friday, putting together perhaps the best round on course at the moment.

Burns has surged up to third on the leaderboard at 3-under for the tournament after five birdies and a bogey through 12 holes, despite starting on the back nine that he had so much trouble with during the first round.

Viktor Hovland making a charge up leaderboard

Hovland, a 27-year-old Norwegian is climbing up the leaderboard, scoring a 4-under through the first portion of his second round. Hovland has three birdies and carded an eagle on 17 before giving back that shot on the next hole with a bogey on the nearly 500-foot 18th hole. He is one shot off the lead after beginning his back nine with a 23-foot birdie putt on 1. Sam Burns is also 4-under for the second round and two shots off the lead, after his birdie on the second hole.

Scottie Scheffler scuffling through second round

The world's number one player is having an even second round. After scoring a birdie on the par 4 10th, Scheffler's next four holes ended in par, before he ran into trouble on the 15th, ending with a double bogey. He is currently at 3-over, just above the current projected cut line of 4-over. Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Phil Mickelson, Justin Rose, and Justin Thomas are among the notables who are in danger of missing the cut.

US Open predictions and picks

Picks made ahead of the US Open's first round:

Jacob Camenker, Paste BN: Scottie Scheffler (+275)

"Scheffler has by far the shortest odds to win the U.S. Open, but it's for a good reason. He has won three of his last four tournaments, including the PGA Championship, and has finished no worse than T-25th in any event this season.

"Scheffler's success is largely thanks to his strong tee-to-green game. He ranks first on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: tee to green (SG:T2G) but has also been the tour's second-best scrambler. That combination should allow him to have fewer issues than others with Oakmont's brutal rough and could ultimately deliver him his first U.S. Open title."

Dylan Dethier, Golf.com: Xander Schauffele always shows up at U.S. Open

"Don’t let him throw you off the scent with his first non-top-20 major finish in three-plus years or a surprisingly poor putting performance at the Memorial. If Xander can find the groove with his driver, he has as good a chance as anybody to win this thing. Don’t forget: He’s played eight U.S. Opens in his life, he’s never finished worse than 14th, and he has six top-7s. Book this man for a win, cover your bases with a top 10."

Jessica Marksbury, Golf.com: Scottie Scheffler continues to dominate

"How can I go with any other player? Scottie is back in alpha mode, and a U.S. Open at Oakmont — golf’s toughest test on the game’s toughest course — will identify the most complete player as champion. That’s Scottie. Third leg of the career grand slam comin’ up!"

Nick Piastowski, Golf.com: Bryson DeChambeau repeats

"With high rough, give me the guy who’s hitting wedges into the greens. It’s hard to bet against Scottie Scheffler, but I’m predicting a DeChambeau repeat."

Iain MacMillan, Sports Illustrated: Scottie Scheffler is running a one-man race

"If you aren’t going to bet on Scottie Scheffler, you should stick to betting the 'without Scheffler' market. We haven’t seen a golfer listed with as short of odds as +280 to win a major since Tiger Woods in his prime, but in my opinion, his odds should be even shorter.

"He has won three of his last four starts, including running away with the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. Over the last six months, Scheffler has gained 0.73 true strokes per round more than any other golfer in the world. The 0.73 strokes per round gap between Scheffler and the second-ranked golfer, Bryson DeChambeau, is the same as the gap between DeChambeau and Sepp Straka."

US Open predictions: Sleeper picks at Oakmont

Picks made ahead of the US Open's first round:

Jacob Camenker, Paste BN: Sepp Straka (+4000)

"Straka hasn't yet won a major but has turned into one of the PGA Tour's most consistent players. He ranks second to only Scheffler in total strokes gained (SG: Total) and ranks top-three in both strokes gained approaching the green (SG:APP) and greens in regulation (GIR) percentage. He missed the cut at the Masters and PGA Championship this year but has finished top-three in two of his last three events, including a win at the Truist Championship."

Daniel Dobish, Sportsbook Wire: Corey Conners (+5500)

"Conners is another one of those golfers who is super accurate off of the tee, hitting 559 of a possible 812 fairways. He is so-so in driving distance, which isn't a bad thing. He'll likely be able to avoid some of those deep fairway bunkers as a result. He ranks 10th on Tour in SG: Off-to-Tee, while checking in 13th in GIR (69.64%), so he knows how to make up for his modest driving power."

Dennis Esser, The Athletic: Russell Henley (+6000)

"(Henley) is coming off two missed cuts in major championships, but he has five top 27 finishes at the U.S. Open in his last six tries. He had his best-ever finish at the U.S. Open in 2024 with a T7 at Pinehurst No. 2. He is coming off of a T5 at the Memorial, where he gained over nine strokes from tee to green, and only a cold weekend putter kept him from challenging (Ben) Griffin and Scheffler."
