The U.S. Open field has officially been trimmed down. The second round of the tournament at Oakmont Country Club came to a close on Friday night and only three participants were under par. Sam Burns led all golfers at three under par while J.J. Spaun was second at two under and Victor Hovland rounded out the top three at one under par.

Some of the world’s most recognizable names in golf, including defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, won’t be around at the US Open this weekend after missing the cut at the brutal Oakmont Country Club.

Bryson DeChambeau found himself at the centre of a rules controversy during the US Open at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, sparking calls from spectators for his disqualification. The defending champion's troubles began on the 621-yard fourth hole when his second shot landed amongst a group of spectators crossing the course.
