The top 60 and ties qualify for the final 36 holes.
Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day were among the casualties who will not play over the weekend. 13, 14 and 17 to finish three off the cut line.
With Johnson, McIlroy and Day misfiring, it was left to a clutch of unheralded players to dominate the upper reaches of the leaderboard. A shortish par 4, the tee boxes are at the top of one hill, and players hit down into the fairway valley before heading back up another hill to the dramatically elevated green. But I don't let it bother me. "I'd either miss it - hit it just high and lip it out or they went across the front edge of the hole". "I missed one fairway, one green and that was the double bogey (on the 12th)".
"Well another disappointing week comes to an end. working hard to get back but the body and swing not allowing it. sorry guys".
"If you can get done with that round of golf and can remember two, or five, or ten holes, that's awesome", Hurdzan said. "I can't put it any other way other than just there was some good stuff mixed in with a lot of poor stuff". AirSign said in a tweet that the pilot was taken to a hospital and was expected to be OK. PGA champion Jimmy Walker missed the cut as he continues to recover from Lyme Disease. Rain for the opening two rounds at Pinehurst No. 2 contributed to Martin Kaymer opening with 65-65 (a U.S. Open record) on his way to an eight-shot victory in 2014.
But there was no hope for Day and McIlroy.
Newly branded as the "ultimate test in golf", the U.S. Open has always been famed for its toughness and Erin Hills was expected to add to that hard-man reputation.
A tougher player, too.
"You can not play this golf course if you're not in position off the tee, and I wasn't in position", McIlroy said.
"Having a win this year at Honda, being in contention at majors in the past, and having The PLAYERS win has definitely done a lot for me", Fowler said.
Britain says no EU exit deal unless future relationship taken into account
If that happens, Corbyn will demand a chance to try to form a government by uniting progressive factors in the House of Commons. An agreement to restore devolved power-sharing government in Stormont must be reached by the 29 June deadline.
"The next step is to try and get a big name junior event".
He twice has been sidelined this year due to a rib injury, and he had played just the Players Championship since the Masters. "It's about raising money for our foundation, and giving back to our area and our community", Stricker said after shooting even-par 72 on Friday to get to 1 over for the tournament. It wasn't that I was hitting bad putts, my speed was a little off. "And I was just trying to show that".
McIlroy has a hectic schedule again.
But Scott will take positives into three weeks of practice before teeing it up at the Scottish Open starting July 12 and the British Open at Royal Birkdale the following week.
That's eight of the next 10 weeks after just seven starts in 2017.
"It's been the best preparation going into a major, I felt like, in my career, which is playing in majors and knowing what I needed to do to prep for a tournament such as this".
Bubba Watson, using a pink golf ball one day and lime green the next, shot 75-73 and appeared certain to miss the cut. I said all that.
On the golf course, there was only a barrage of birdies.
McIlroy followed an opening-round 78 with a 71. His 7-under par tied the record to par for the first round of a U.S. Open held by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf, who each shot 7-under 63 at Baltusrol in 1980.
After Sergio Garcia finally won his first major title this year at The Masters, the "best player yet to win a Major" label quickly attached itself to Fowler.
