Sam Burns delivered an impressive performance with a round of 65 during Round 2 of the 2025 U.S. Open at the prestigious Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. With this low score, Burns finished the day at 3 under par, maintaining a narrow one-shot lead over J.J. Spaun, who had led after the first round. Viktor Hovland follows closely at 1 under, but several other top-ranking golfers struggled on the demanding course.
The conditions proved challenging for many, as highlighted by the late collapses of players like Thriston Lawrence and Thomas Detry. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is currently sitting at 4 over par, trailing the leader by seven strokes. Rory McIlroy, the reigning Masters champion, faced significant difficulties but managed to make the cut, while Bryson DeChambeau, last year’s U.S. Open winner, was unable to advance after missing the cut entirely.
The second round faced interruptions due to heavy rainfall, causing the horn to sound around 8:15 p.m. ET, leaving a few players finishing up the final holes of their rounds. The United States Golf Association (USGA) is anticipated to resume play early Saturday morning to wrap up the second round.
This year’s competition continues to showcase the unpredictable nature of golf, with the prestigious U.S. Open bringing both anticipation and excitement to players and fans alike. As the tournament unfolds, all eyes will be on the leaderboard as golfers navigate the rigorous challenges posed by Oakmont.
