Woodland Leads U.S Open Going Into Weekend

By Isaac E

Gary Woodland (-9) is attempting to win his first major and leads the U.S. Open going into the weekend by two shots over Justin Rose (-7).

Two-time defending champion and winner of the last major the PGA championship in May, Brooks Koepka (-4) is five shots back.

Other notable players are 2011 U.S. Open champion and four-time major winner Rory McIlroy (-5) sitting four shots back in a tie for fourth with Aaron Wise. McIlroy recovered from a double-boogie on the 14th hole on Friday by birdieing the next two holes to stay in contention.

2015 U.S. Open champion Jordan Spieth (-1) is eight shots back in a five-way tie for 27th that includes Phil Mickelson. Mickelson is still searching for his first U.S. Open victory that would complete his career grand slam.

Tiger Woods (E) is at even par after boogieing the last two holes on Friday afternoon and will need a strong performance on Saturday to place himself back into contention.

Big names that did not make the cut of +2 and will not be playing this weekend are the sixth-ranked player in the world, Justin Thomas and 14th-ranked Tony Finau.
