Oakmont, PA.- Sam Burns did the lowest round of 5-under-bed 65, the lowest phase of the week thus, and took the second round lead in the US Open on Friday at the Omont Country Club.
Burns had six codes, a bogey and a significant equilibrium to wrap the low round in their final hole. When he led a club house in 3 under, he was one from the lead.
The first-round leader JJ Spon on Friday followed the eighth bogie-free round in Okmont in American history with six bogies, but managed 2-over 72 and finished second at 2 for the championship.
As the ET at 7 pm, Norway’s Victor was the only other player in the red figures under Hoveland 1. He posted 68 in the morning wave. Adam Scott of Australia gave a card to 70 directly 70 to live with Ben Griffin (71) and Belgium’s Thomas Deter, who had two holes to go.
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 registering Par-5 fourth, the Burns Drive was buried in a patch of thick rough and opted to take a drop and penalty stroke. He hit his next shot from the pin up to 22 1/2 feet-and to save the equal, the long, left-to-right put out to take out.
Burns said, “I really played well apart from Finishing Hole (Thursday).” “So I think today was getting mentally prepared to come out in a way and was trying to put a good phase together. I think I am playing well in the last week and this week and my round (Thursday). In fact, it is really just trying to get out of myself and makes yourself look as much as you can.”
Spanish was also equal through 14 holes, three times the bogie-bird or a beardi went. Then he put three-puts for the bogie in the 15th place and added to another Par-3 16.
Spon returned under 3 by drying the 23 -foot beardi put on number 17, but he could not go up and down for equal in the last.
“A few years ago I will probably expect a bad playing today,” Spon said about sleeping on the lead. “But I knew that it would be difficult to backup a bogie-free 4-endr in Okmont at the US Open. So I am happy that I put it together.”
Hoveland stuck at number 10 for Birdi and a short para -4 for eagle to match Burns Hot Start at number 17, but he hit some disturbance with three Birds, three bogies and a double bogie.
The top 60 players and the relationship would qualify for the weekend, and the cut line was estimated to be more than 6 or 7 as 7 pm.
Rory McLero made two double bogies on its first three holes and led to the disaster. But he came out of there and played 2-iners for the rest of the rounds, including a significant shower on number 18, which ensured that the northern Irishman would cut 6 overs.
World No. 1 Scotty Chefler had an adventure 71 – 4 overs with five bogies, four Birds – and Colin Moricawa (74). Jordan Spith struggled for 75 and sat at 5 overs.
Defending champions Bryson Decombo (10 overs), 2016 Omont Champion Dustin Johnson (10 overs), Justin Thomas (12 overs) and Irishman Shane Lori (17 overs) will recall the cut.
A day after Patrick Reid recording the fourth albatros in the US Open History, Victor Perez of France created a hole-in-one in the sixth hole in the second-ACE Ice-Dukal sixth hole during the US Open in Okmont. He shot 70 and is 1 over.
