The conditions have turned the chase to make the cut for the weekend an even bigger storyline than usual, with plenty of star power flirting with the cut line.

The cut line was plus-seven, which reflected the nature of how the field has handled the tough conditions.

Sam Burns will start Sunday at 4-under and with a 1-shot lead from both 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott (-3) and J.J. Spaun who, like Burns, is bidding for his first major.

The U.S. Open 2025 is underway with 18 holes in the books after Thursday's first round at Oakmont Country Club, the highest-ranked private course on the Golfweek's Best state-by-state list.

The leaders tee off in just under an hour, and here's where things stand: Sam Burns is at 3 under and tees off with J.J. Spaun (2 under) at 3:35 p.m.
