U.S. Open live golf scores, results, highlights from Friday’s Round 2 leaderboard

Last year’s U.S. Open saw the unheralded Wyndham Clark rise to the first major championship of his career. Could another golfer break through at Pinehurst Resort this week?

After Round 1 at Pinehurst, it’s a mix of familiar faces and unlikely leaders atop the leaderboard.  The first 18 holes proved to be much more difficult than last year’s event at Los Angeles Country Club, keeping golfers honest to start the major. 

Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy sit in a tie for first place, as both are at 5-under after Thursday’s action. Cantlay shot six birdies and a bogey to put up one of the best scores of the day. McIlroy followed a bogey-free round, securing five birdies to put himself in great position for Friday. 

Right behind the two is Ludvig Aberg at 4-under. The Swede had six birdies, but also shot two bogeys to end Thursday in third place. Mathieu Pavon and Bryson DeChambeau are tied for fourth at 3-under.

U.S. Open live updates, highlights from Friday’s Round 2(All times Eastern)

9:50 a.m. — McIlroy chips in to save par on the 17th hole. Huge shot to avoid a third bogey.

— U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 14, 20249:37 a.m. — Great putt by Bryson DeChambeau on the sixth hole to secure the first birdie for any golfer at the No. 6 today. He rockets up to a tie for No. 3.

— U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 14, 20249:20 a.m. — Taylor Pendrith rolls in an impressive 52-foot putt on the 11th hole to claim an early birdie. He moves up to a tie for 16th at even par for the tournament.

— U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 14, 20249:05 a.m. — McIlroy booms the driver on the 14th hole as he looks to get back to even par on Round 2.

— U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 14, 20248:52 a.m. — McIlroy saves par on the 13th hole to stay just 1 over on Friday.

8:34 a.m. — Tom Kim is heating up as he sinks a birdie putt, his second consecutive birdie, on the fourth hole. He’s now 1 under for the day and has moved up 18 spots to a tie for 16th.

— U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 14, 20248:17 a.m. — McIlroy misses the putt for par, and he’ll have to settle for his first bogey or worse of the week.

8:14 a.m. — Solid shot by McIlroy that nearly rolls into the hole. It carried a few extra feet past the hole, but it should still be a makeable putt for him for par.

8:09 a.m. — McIlroy went an even par to start his second round, but the next hole is causing him some trouble. He hooks a wedge shot left and it bounces off the green and rolls off the side.

7:20 p.m. — A bogey on No. 7 drops Bryson DeChambeau to 3-under and out of third place, but a strong showing out of the LIV Golf pro to start the U.S. Open. 

7:15 p.m. — Rory McIlroy secures a birdie on No. 18 and now there’s company at the top. He’s tied for first place now with Patrick Cantlay at 5-under. 

6:35 p.m. — As the day nears an end, there are only 16 players under par compared to 117 over par. Pinehurst No. 2 is proving to be massively different than Valhalla was a month ago, and it’s safe to say there won’t be a 20-under winner this week.

6:32 p.m. — McIlroy birdies his final hole to move into a share of the lead! He’s 5-under and will roll into Friday with all eyes on him as he seeks his first major win in a decade this weekend.

6:25 p.m. — Cantlay remains in front, but Aberg, McIlroy and DeChambeau are now just one stroke off the lead with McIlroy and DeChambeau still finishing up their rounds. As expected, it’s a tight leaderboard at a tough course.

5:58 p.m. — Down to 4-under goes DeChambeau…

Justin Thomas (+7) and Will Zalatoris (+5) have struggled as well, both behind Tiger Woods. Patrick Cantlay remains the sole leader.

4:45 p.m. — Here comes Bryson! Bryson DeChambeau has enjoyed a bogey-free day through 12 holes, and he’s now tied for third at 3-under.

4:35 p.m. — McIlroy continues to provide the best highlights of the day, and he’s holding steady at 3-under now.

— U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 20243:15 p.m. — This was not the start Scottie Scheffler was looking for, with two bogeys through six holes, but a birdie at No. 7 brings him back closer to the pack.

— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) June 13, 20241:20 p.m. — There are only four players shooting 2-under or better at this point as the course continues to play tough. Patrick Cantlay is in front at 5-under.

— GOLF.com (@GOLF_com) June 13, 202410:35 a.m. — The course is playing very tough, as expected, but Koepka and Pavon each just birdied to move to 3-under par and a share of the lead.

9:49 a.m. — Matthieu Pavon is the latest to post an eagle on the Par 5 fifth hole. He moves into a tie for first place with Brooks Koepka. Logan McAllister remains up there as well, but he is set to drop at least one shot on his latest hole.

9:48 a.m. — Tiger Woods has dropped back-to-back shots to move to 1 over. His good start has now been erased.

— U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 2024Collin Morikawa very nearly joined them, but he missed an easy birdie putt to stay at 1 under.

9:34 a.m. — Logan McAllister is back atop the tournament. He has played 10 holes thus far and is 2 under par. That positions him well at a difficult course that will only get tougher as time goes along.

9:10 a.m. — Russell Henley is off to a solid start. He made a 38-foot putt to get to 1-under par for the tournament, just one shot off the lead.

— U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 20249:01 a.m. — Tiger Woods just missed another birdie that would have tied him with Ludvig Aberg for the lead. It just misses the edge of the cup, but he gets a tap-in par to stay 1 under.

8:53 a.m. — Players continue to take advantage of the fifth hole during the U.S. Open’s first round. Corey Conners just scratched back to even par with an eagle, the third of the day on the hole, which is presently playing as Pinehurst’s easiest.

Still, as the U.S. Open’s X account (formerly Twitter) noted, the amateur will always be able to say he led the U.S. Open!

No matter what happens in Parker Bell’s golf career, he can always say he led the U.S. Open!
