Kiwi Golfer Ryan Fox successfully made it through to the weekend rounds at the US Open after finishing five-over par. This puts him in 57th place alongside other players, including Scottie Scheffler. The current leader is Ludvig Aberg from Sweden, who is aiming to become the first US Open champion to win in his debut since 1913. Aberg is currently one shot ahead of Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay, and Thomas Detry.
Aberg expressed his gratitude for the challenging nature of the tournament and his performance so far. His consistent fairway shots have been vital in navigating the tough Pinehurst No 2 course. Meanwhile, DeChambeau showcased a mix of birdies and bogeys, including a strong finish with a birdie on the final hole.
Rory McIlroy had a roller-coaster round with some near-misses and impressive par saves. Despite missing some opportunities, McIlroy remains hopeful for the upcoming rounds. Thomas Detry’s putting skills were on display as he managed to make nine one-putts during his round.
Unfortunately, Tiger Woods missed the cut, casting uncertainty on his future participation in major championships. Other notable players who failed to advance include Viktor Hovland, Dustin Johnson, and Phil Mickelson. Francesco Molinari, however, secured his spot for the weekend with a remarkable hole-in-one on his 36th hole.
The competition at the US Open remains fierce, with players showcasing a range of skills and strategies to tackle the challenging course. As the tournament progresses, fans can expect more excitement and drama from some of the world’s best golfers as they vie for the prestigious title.
