Oakmont, PA .- Sam Burns fired 5-under-Burbar 65, the lowest phase of the week thus the lowest round, and jumped into the dispute in the US Open as the second round was going on at the Omont Country Club on Friday.
Burns had six codes, a bogie and a significant equal equal to wrap the low round in their final hole (number 9). He led the club house at 3-under equal, one from a lead.
First-round leader JJ Spon, coming out of a bogie-free 66 on Thursday, his second round was South Africa’s Thriston Lawrence (3 under) and C Wu Kim (2 under) of South Korea were also part of the afternoon wave.
Norway’s Victor Hoveland selected to match the hot start of Burns at number 10 for the Birdi and the short para -4 for the eagle, but he hit some disturbance with three Birds, three bogies and a double bogie. Hoveland posted 68 to reach 1 in total.
Burns, who shot at the RBC Canadian Open on 62 Sundays at the RBC Canadian Open before losing in a playoffs, nine and birds no. Started at 11, 13, 17 and 18. He responded to his loan bogie at number 1, by putting a shot at number 2, about 6 feet from the pin to set his next shower.
After a Birdi in Par-5 fourth, Burns Drive was buried in a patch of thick rough rough and opted to take a drop and penalty stroke. He hit his next shot with a pin to 22 1/2 feet and dried long, left-to-right put to save equal.
The top 60 players and the relationship would qualify for the weekend, and the cut line was more than 4 by 1:30 pm.
World No. 1 Scotty Sheffler will sweat with a adventure 71 – five bogies, four Birds – and 4 overs in the afternoon with Colin Moricawa. Jordan Spith was battling a 75 and sits in 5 overs, while Dustin Johnson (10 overs) and Justin Thomas (12 overs) would recall the cut.
Remarkable players in the afternoon include Australia’s Adam Scott (even equal to a round), Xander Schauffele (2 overs), Sweden (2 overs), Keagan Bradley (3 overs), Rori McLarroy (4 overs) of Northern Ireland, Hidki Matasuyama (4 overs) of Japan and Shane (4 over) of Irland.
