We knew the Oakmont would be brutal, but Friday showed how fast the best players in the world could come down.
Despite being one of the pre-Turneu favoritism, Bryson Dechambeau shot a second round and lost the open US cut with three strokes.
Bryson may have been the biggest name to lose the weekend, but he was not the only one who fought.
Patrick Cantlay seemed as if he could destroy after a second round 72, but his opening 76 left a lot of land to cover. Min woo lee improved on Friday but could not recover from a 77 opening. Nico echavarria, one of Best Putters on Tours this seasoncould not make up the striking battles of the ball hit that left it on +13.
Sepp Straka, who many saw as a choice of sleep this week, bent after rounds 78 and 73. Two days of light errors in Oakmont are more than enough to send players home.
These were not the only big names sent to package. Friday line sat in +7And a host of great champions, Ryder Cuppers and the latest PGA Tour winners were left on his wrong side.

Final thoughts
At the beginning of this week, we asked him to choose Five dark horses to win US Open. Only one, Keegan Bradley (+3) made the cut. In Oakmont, what looks good on paper does not always hold pressure, and this is what will make this fun weekend to see.
