2nd Round of U.S. Open Suspended. 13 Golfers Didn't Finish Their Rounds
On Friday, June 13 two-time major winner Justin Thomas was among the many big names that didn't make the cut at the U.S. Open.
“Just wasn’t sharp at all,” Thomas said Friday. “I felt like I really didn’t play that bad yesterday; I had four tee balls that were 50-50 in the air of being in the fairway or not, and all four of them were not, and played those holes 5-over, so that can happen out there. I was very far from sharp and just didn’t play well … (Oakmont is) right in front of you. You kind of know what you’re getting here. It’s tough, and you can’t fake it around here and not play well and expect good things to happen."
The cut line eventually settled at 7-over, leaving a number of the top players in the world on the wrong side. Ludvig Åberg, Patrick Cantlay and Wyndham Clark (8-over), Min Woo Lee and Tommy Fleetwood (9-over), Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Akshay Bhatia (10-over), Sepp Straka and Nick Dunlap (11-over), Justin Rose (14-over), and Shane Lowry (17-over) all missed the cut.
While they won't be playing this weekend, all of those golfers won't have to come back to finish one or two holes on Saturday morning just to go home. Unfortunately at least 10 golfers will face that reality after the second round of the U.S. Open was suspended due to poor weather conditions.
Here's the list of the 13 golfers who didn't get to finish their rounds - with their score and how many holes they've completed:
Thirston Lawrence, 1-under, 17Chris Gotterup, 5-over, 17Philip Barberee Jr., 6-over, 16Jinichiro Kozuma, 9-over, 17Jackson Buchanan, 10-over, 17Riley Lewis, 10-over, 16Lance Simpson, 10-over, 17Max Howell, 12-over, 17Cameron Tankersley, 13-over, 17Zach Bouchou, 15-over, 17Chase Johnson, 17-over, 17Joakim Lagergren, 19-over, 17Brady Calkins, 25-over, 17Lawrence is almost guaranteed to make the cut unless he completely botches the final hole while Gotterup will make the cut with double-bogey or better and Barberee needs to play his final two holes in 1-over to make the cut.
All the other golfers on the list will be heading home bright and early in the morning - after being forced to finish their rounds.
