U.S. Open Golf Championship - The Year’s 3rd Major

Pinehurst No.2 is taking its toll on players and patrons alike. The morning wave of players are struggling just to maintain their position without falling back and missing the cut. Even Scheffler has fallen back 4 strokes in today’s round and will very likely miss the cut.

But the area is now under an extreme heat advisory and patrons are being asked to stay hydrated. But the fans have shade trees along the viewing areas, while the ‘playing field’ is completely open to a cloudless sky.

If the conditions are this hard for the morning groups who had some of their round played in 80 degree temperatures, it’s going to be an real endurance test for the groups that start at noon and later. :covri:

The cut line may end up being +5. :shocked:
