News Summary

In a thrilling second round, Swedish golfer Ludvig Åberg stands at five under par, leading the 2024 U.S. Open in his debut. With top players like Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Cantlay trailing close behind, the tournament promises an intense finish as many legends, including Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, miss the cut.

Ludvig Åberg Shines Bright at the 2024 U.S. Open

As the sun set on Friday, the second round of the much-anticipated 2024 U.S. Open came to a thrilling close. Swede Ludvig Åberg stepped into the spotlight, proudly holding the lead at five under par through two rounds, marking a significant milestone in his career. He has become the first player in nearly four decades to lead the U.S. Open in his debut!

A Competitive Field: Who’s Close Behind?

But Åberg isn’t alone in the quest for the coveted championship trophy, as Bryson DeChambeau, Thomas Detry, and Patrick Cantlay are nipping at his heels, all tied for second place at four under par. It sets the stage for an intense weekend where anything can happen!

The Cut Line Drama

The tournament’s cut line kept the fans on the edge of their seats, fluctuating between four-over and five-over before finally settling at five-over. This means that many well-known names will sadly be heading home early. Among those eliminated are iconic figures like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.

Star Players Who Couldn’t Make the Cut

It’s surprising to see such notable golfers miss the cut this year, and the list is extensive. Some of the prominent names alongside Woods and Mickelson include:

  • Justin Thomas – +11
  • Jason Day – +8
  • Rickie Fowler – +8
  • Dustin Johnson – +9
  • Max Homa – +6
  • Victor Perez – +9
  • Seamus Power – +7

Tiger Woods experienced a notably challenging round, finishing with a score of four-over-par 74 in his first outing. He was so close to making the cut, falling just one shot short, which makes his exit all the more disappointing. For Woods, this is a familiar scenario; he has missed the cut in four of his last five U.S. Open appearances.

In his post-round reflections, he mentioned feeling satisfied with his performance on Friday, stating it was likely the best he could have done given the circumstances. However, the golfing world is left wondering when Tiger will reclaim his glory.

Mickelson’s Continuing Struggles

Phil Mickelson, another beloved figure in the sport, faced his own struggles this year. With an unfortunate performance that saw him miss the cut for the third consecutive year, he couldn’t even score a single birdie throughout the event. Both Woods and Mickelson’s setbacks highlight the challenges even the most experienced golfers face in high-stakes tournaments.

The Road Ahead

As we gear up for the weekend ahead, excitement fills the air. With players like Åberg and his fellow contenders all vying for the top spot, the 2024 U.S. Open promises to bring suspense, unforgettable shots, and plenty of on-course drama. Can Åberg maintain his lead and etch his name in the record books? Only time will tell. Fans are gearing up for a thrilling finish to the weekend!
