Follow for updates from the third round at the 2025 U.S. Open
One year after experiencing euphoria from winning the 2024 U.S. Open, defending champion Bryson DeChambeau is experiencing agony at the 2025 U.S. Open.
DeChambeau finished on the wrong side of the cut line (+7) following an underwhelming Friday at Oakmont Country Club. DeChambeau started off the second round by bogeying four of the first seven holes and carding a double-bogey on hole No. 5. His play didn’t improve. He finished with a double-bogey, eight bogeys and three birdies on Friday, bringing him to 10-over on the tournament.
It marks only the third time DeChambeau has missed the cut at the U.S. Open in 11 total appearances, and the first time since 2017. The American golfer has experienced much success at the third major of the year. Both of DeChambeau’s two major wins came at the U.S. Open in 2020 and 2024.
The second round of the 2025 U.S. Open was suspended at 8:15 p.m. ET on Friday due to lighting in the area with a handful of golfers still on the course. The second round concludes Saturday, when play resumed at 7:30 a.m. ET.
DeChambeau highlights a list of former champions and big-name golfers that are done after 36 holes following troublesome first and second rounds. Here’s a look at the notable golfers that missed the cut:
