Several former US Open champions fail to make the weekend cut as the tournament reaches the Friday cut line. Bryson DeChambeau, who has previously won the US Open in 2020 and again in 2024, shoots poorly in his round and does not reach the top 60. Reports describe early struggles including missed greens and two three-putts that contribute to a pair of double bogeys, and he never gains momentum from there. DeChambeau’s performance means he misses the weekend at all three major championships this year.
Broader among past champions, other contenders also fall short. Brooks Koepka, a multiple US Open winner, posts a round of 77 and finishes six strokes outside the cut, ending a streak of 11 consecutive made cuts at the event. The cut-line results highlight a challenging scoring environment on Friday for players who have previously succeeded at the championship.
