Making his debut at the U.S. Open, Ludvig Åberg took the solo lead headed into the weekend following a 1-under 69.[17] The cut came at 145 (5-over-par). Notable players to miss the cut included world number five Viktor Hovland, world number ten Max Homa, and three-time U.S. Open champion Tiger Woods.[18] World number one and pre-tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler narrowly made the cut and was 10 strokes off the lead.[19] Standing two shots outside the cutline after 35 holes, Francesco Molinari made a hole in one on the par-3 9th to make the cut on the number.[20]
