U.S. Open Winners and Losers, Day 2: Hatton’s jokes, Tiger’s irons, Brooks, Rory, Scottie, more
Tiger Woods carded a 78 in the second round of the U.S. Open at The Country Club. The 15-time major champion is now 10 over par for the tournament and in danger of missing the cut. It would be his first missed cut at the U.S. Open since 2015.
Woods, who is playing in his first major championship since the 2020 Masters, struggled with his irons on Friday. He hit just 5 of 14 fairways and 10 of 18 greens. He also needed 32 putts.
After the round, Woods said he was “disappointed” with his performance.
“I didn’t play very well today,” Woods said. “I didn’t hit the ball very well. I didn’t putt very well. I just didn’t do anything very well.”

Who needs to win the most? Can Scheffler get back into contention? What to expect on moving day at the U.S. Open
Three-time major champion Nelly Korda sent shockwaves through the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Despite shooting a 1-under 71, she missed out on the cut by a stroke. She is one of several top players struggling for form this season.
On the other hand, Chun In-gee is in formidable shape and will be aiming to defend her title at the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open. Jessica Korda, who recently earned gold at the Olympics, is also playing well and will look to add a major championship to her impressive resume.
Lexi Thompson, who won the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open, is finally back to her best and should challenge this week.
Can Cantlay capitalize? What does Tiger need to do? Looking ahead to Friday at the U.S. Open
**Can Cantlay capitalize? What does Tiger need to do?**
Patrick Cantlay holds a one-stroke lead over Rory McIlroy heading into Friday’s second round of the U.S. Open. Tiger Woods is six strokes back after an opening-round 73.
Cantlay, who played in the afternoon wave on Thursday, took advantage of the softer conditions to shoot a 4-under 66. He made six birdies and just two bogeys on the difficult Brookline course.
McIlroy, who played in the morning wave, had to contend with tougher conditions. He made four birdies and three bogeys in his round of 67.
Woods, who is making his first competitive start since the Masters, struggled with his putting on Thursday. He missed several short putts and finished with a 3-over 73.
If Cantlay can continue to play well on Friday, he will be in a good position to win his first major championship. McIlroy will also be in the mix if he can improve his putting.
Woods will need to make some putts on Friday if he wants to stay in contention. He is still within striking distance, but he will need to play better if he wants to win his fifth U.S. Open title.
He may have one of the U.S. Open’s grossest habits. He also might win
Collin Morikawa may have one of the grossest habits on the PGA Tour. But he also has an uncanny ability to win golf tournaments.
Morikawa has won three majors in his young career, including the 2020 U.S. Open and 2021 Open Championship. He’s also won four other PGA Tour events, including the 2021 DP World Tour Championship.
Despite his success, Morikawa has become known for a peculiar habit: spitting into the hole after he putts.
Morikawa said he started spitting into the hole when he was a junior golfer. He said he was trying to clear his throat of saliva before he putted, and the habit just stuck.
“It’s not something I do on purpose,” Morikawa said. “It’s just something that happens.”
Morikawa’s habit has drawn some criticism from fans and fellow golfers. But he doesn’t seem to mind the negative attention.
“I’m not going to change who I am because of what other people think,” Morikawa said. “I’m comfortable with who I am and how I play the game.”
He lived in a Ford. Not even his mom knew. Thursday, he plays the U.S. Open
**U.S. Open Contender Overcame Homelessness**
Michael Thorbjornsen will make his U.S. Open debut on Thursday, but his journey to the championship has been far from ordinary.
Just four years ago, Thorbjornsen was living in his Ford Explorer, struggling to make ends meet. His mother was unaware of his situation.
Despite the adversity, Thorbjornsen’s passion for golf never wavered. He practiced on makeshift greens and honed his skills on public courses.
Hard work and perseverance have paid off for the 25-year-old. He earned his PGA Tour card in 2022 and has since recorded two top-10 finishes.
Thorbjornsen’s story is an inspiration to all who face challenges in life. His resilience and determination are a testament to the power of the human spirit.
