Rory McIlroy battled Oakmont ’s treacherous setup and frustrations to survive for the weekend at the 125th US Open .

Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau , Tommy Fleetwood , Dustin Johnson , Joaquin Niemann , Justin Thomas and Shane Lowry all exit from Pennsylvania .

Only three players Sam Burns , JJ Spaun and Viktor Hovland are under par.

Hovland 's return to form is excellent news for Europe and their Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald .

Koepka bogeyed three in succession around the turn before dropping further shots at the 4th , 8th and 9th for a 74 .

The one -time major specialist has produced inauspicious results since winning the 2023 US PGA Championship .
