Current cut line, scores, leaderboard

They weren’t kidding about Oakmont Country Club. The venue that has hosted more U.S. Open tournaments than any other showed its teeth again to kick off the 125th edition of this golf major.

J.J. Spaun was the early clubhouse leader after firing a 4-under 66, and there’s a whole bunch of contenders within a few shots of the lead heading into Friday’s second round. But the course became part of the story as well. The thick rough and tricky greens proved to be treacherous and humbled some of the world’s best golfers.

The dynamic sets up a fascinating chase to make the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open. Plenty of big names, led by Rory McIlroy, struggled at various points over the opening 18 holes and have ground to make up in order to qualify for the weekend. The 156-golfer field will be cut down to the top 60 and ties before the third round begins, which is different than the top 70 and ties used as the cut line by the PGA Championship and British Open and top 50 and ties at The Masters.

USA TODAY Sports will be tracking the projected cut line with live updates throughout Friday’s second round, as well as keeping tabs on the notable golfers who are in danger of missing the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open. Follow along here:
