SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- Bryson De Chambeau spent a big part of the first day of the U.S. Open on the leaderboard. He spent most of the second day wondering if those trains pulling into the nearby Long Island Rail Road station were coming for him.
Two ugly three-putts led to a pair of double bogeys early in Friday's round for De Chambeau and he never recovered. He shot 5-over 75 to finish at 145 and lead an all-star cast of former U.S. Open champions who fell short of the cut line, which landed at 144.
DeChambeau, the 2020 and '24 champion, failed to make the top 60 and has now missed the weekend at all three majors this year. He joined 2017 and '18 winner Brooks Koepka, 2021 winner Jon Rahm and defending champion J.J. Spaun on the sideline for the weekend, where Wyndham Clark, the 2023 champ, will start with a four-shot lead at 7 under.
