2025 U.S. Open Golf Leaderboard Live: Real-Time Scores, Surprising Leaders & Round-By-Round Highlights

Oakmont, Pa. — Midway through Friday’s second round, the 125th U.S. Open is already living up to its reputation as golf’s sternest test, with firm fairways, lightning-fast greens and a tightly packed leaderboard. CURRENT LEADERBOARD SNAPSHOT 1. J.J. Spaun -4 (Thru 18) T2. Thriston Lawrence -3 (Thru 18) T3. Si Woo Kim -2 (Thru 18) T3. Brooks Koepka -2 (Thru 6) T3. Sungjae Im -2 (Thru 17) Five players sit one stroke further back at ‑1, including Viktor Hovland, who eagled the par-4 17th to ignite the gallery. KEY ROUND-2 MOVERS • Sam Burns carded five birdies through 12 holes to climb to ‑3 before giving a stroke back on the closing stretch. • Victor Perez electrified the course with a 7-iron ace at the par-3 6th, just the second hole-in-one recorded in U.S. Open play at Oakmont. • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is flirting with the cut after a double-bogey on 15 dropped him to +3. PROJECTED CUT LINE With scoring conditions brutal, the cut is currently projected at +4, matching Oakmont’s 2016 mark. Sixty players and ties will survive to the weekend. COURSE AND CONDITIONS Oakmont Country Club is stretching to 7,372 yards and playing to a par 70, but the layout’s trademark church-pew bunkers and 13-plus-on-the-Stimpmeter greens have proven the real defense. Friday’s mostly cloudy skies and light winds have kept scoring marginally softer, yet the forecast calls for weekend showers that could lengthen the course. TEE TIMES & HOW TO WATCH • Featured second-round groups include Rory McIlroy/Justin Rose/Shane Lowry (1:25 p.m. ET) and Xander Schauffele/Bryson DeChambeau (1:14 p.m.). • NBC and USA Network share television coverage from 1–7 p.m. ET, with every shot streamed free on Peacock and usopen.com. STAT TO KNOW Oakmont has never yielded a winning score lower than ‑5; Spaun is already ‑4 after 36 holes, but history suggests he’ll need to keep the pedal down on a course where momentum swings in a heartbeat. WHAT’S NEXT Round 2 concludes at 8 p.m. ET, after which the field will be trimmed for the weekend sprint toward the $4.3 million winner’s check.
