2ND ROUND AT A GLANCE
THE LEADERS:
Paul Casey shot one-under 71, and the trio of Brian Harman, Tommy Fleetwood and Brooks Koepka shot 70 to share the lead at seven-under 137.
CLOSE BEHIND:
Rickie Fowler, Jamie Lovemark and J.B. Holmes were all one shot back, followed by a group of five at five under, including amateur Cameron Champ.
GOING HOME:
For the first time in a major, the top three players in the world all failed to make the cut. Dustin Johnson, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy are heading home.
7-UNDER CLUB:
Hideki Matsuyama and Chez Reavie each shot 65, joining Fowler, who hit the number Thursday.
MONEY PUTT:
Jason Kokrak made a 16-foot putt on his final hole for a birdie that got him to one over — good enough to make the cut.
KEY STATISTIC:
The cut, at one over, tied a U.S. Open record set in 1990 at Medinah.
NOTEWORTHY:
A 94-year-old man stopped breathing while in a grandstand on the sixth hole and died of what officials said appeared to be natural causes.
QUOTEWORTHY:
“I’m not here on the weekend, so it’s unfortunate. But at least I’ll get to sit in AC and watch the guys tear it up on the weekend.” — Day, after missing the cut.
