00:00An update live from Friday, it is cut day at the 2025 United States Open at
00:06Oakmont where DRS the projected cut as we speak is four over par.
00:11What might it be at the end of this very long and brutal Friday at what the
00:16golfers playing it right now call the hardest course in the world.
00:20And Oakmont showed its teeth in the opening round on Thursday.
00:24We saw some guys under par in JJ Spawn around one leader at four under, but
00:31really through the rest of the day, it was difficult.
00:34Jon Rahm, the only guy with one of the five best prices pre-tournament to be
00:39under par in red figures on Thursday is already on the course right now.
00:45He is one over to his first four holes on this Friday back to even.
00:50Of course, you see Scotty Scheffler there as well.
00:52Three over par in his opening round.
00:55The reigning United States Open champion, Bryson DeChambeau, also three over par.
01:00And Rory McIlroy, when we were live on air yesterday, DRS got off to a great start,
01:05but I think made triple later on in his round and fell all the way back to four over.
01:10Oakmont takes no prisoners.
01:13We saw that on a Thursday.
01:14We are seeing that early here on this Friday as well.
01:18Yeah, it's the expectations, right?
01:19Only eight golfers here, minus one or better in this tournament, which is unbelievable.
01:24Usually it's eight golfers in the first 20 minutes are already under par, and he's one
01:28of the majors here, Augusta, whatever you have you.
01:30But at this tournament, it's just going to take, you got JJ Spawn, minus four under.
01:34What's his goal for the rest of the weekend?
01:36Just play par golf.
01:37He probably walks away with it.
01:38But as he said, you must hit every single fairway because if you don't, you are probably
01:42going to bogey that hole.
01:44Case in point, he just talked about Rory McIlroy yesterday.
01:46Wow, didn't expect him to have a great start here, check in later in the day, completely
01:50fell off.
01:50Not because he played bag off, because he played one bad shot on one hole here that gets you
01:54caught up in the rough where you just can't recover.
01:56That's the fun of this.
01:57Okay, take your medicine.
01:58So many tournaments, right, Ben, like at Augusta.
02:00Take your medicine.
02:01Take the stroke penalty in a major.
02:02It's okay.
02:03Just play on a par five or six instead of a five here and not get yourself in trouble.
02:08That's not the case at this point.
02:09Like, you put one ball off the fairway, which gets stuck in a bad spot in the rough.
02:14You're not like, oh, that's triple bogey at this point now.
02:17That's what you love.
02:18Two and three shot leads disappear immediately in this tournament.
02:21That's the fun of it.
