Cut line carnage; Aussies in the hunt as ‘back in the day’ move sparks US Open surge - LIVE
More US Open chaos as cut line carnage looms; Scott firmly in mix as Day surges — LIVE
Adam Scott is hanging tough inside the top ten, while Jason Day fired one of the best rounds of the day as leaderboard chaos ensues in the second round of the US Open.
Oakmont continues to give the world’s best golfers plenty of headaches as the projected cut line currently stands at +7 with thunderstorms predicted to sweep through late in the day.
Overnight leader J.J. Spaun is still on top at -4 as South African Thirston Lawrence has dropped back to -3, after reaching -6 with a trio of birdies early his round, but both are still out on course with plenty of golf left to play.

Scott meanwhile remains at even par for the tournament through 12 holes.
The 2013 Masters champion started both nines with a birdie but bogeys at four and five stunted any further progress, although at the time of writing only five players are better than Scott at an under-par number.
LEADERBOARD: All the scores from the US Open

The 2015 PGA champion battled a wrist injury in the lead-up to the tournament, after a neck problem caused him grief as he missed the cut at the PGA Championship, but showed no signs of inhibition on Friday as he made four birdies and an eagle.
Day launched a 3-wood to roughly 20 feet from more than 300 yards out at the par 5 12th to set up his eagle, and draining the putt was symbolic of a much improved performance on and around the greens.
He ranks fifth in the field for strokes gained with his short game, and 13th for putting off the back of an old school method to try turn the tide with the flat stick.
“I bent my putter. Yeah, no, I just manually bent it myself. Stood on it,” Day said.
“That’s kind of how I used to do it back in the day. It just hadn’t been looking very good to me personally, kind of looks a little bit hooded, the grip’s on a little bit closed too, so that’s not a positive for me. But I bent it enough to make it look more open, which is good.”
The low round of the day so far belongs to Sam Burns, who shot a five-under par 65 to be the clubhouse leader at -3.
It was the best round Burns has produced in a US Open and he became just the 12th player to have shot 65 or better at Oakmont during a US Open.
“I think at times, trying to be a little too perfect around major championship golf courses, and I think especially around here, honestly it kind of forces you to take your medicine because a lot of times that’s the only option you have,” Burns said.
“I think for this golf course, you really just have to free it up. It’s too hard to try to guide it around here. You’re going to hit some in the rough, you’re going to hit some in some bad spots, you might as well do it with authority. Yeah, it’s going to be a fun weekend.”
Several of golf’s biggest names struggled with Rory McIlroy teetering on the edge of the cut line and world No.1 Scottie Scheffler visibly frustrated for a second straight day.
Scheffler is certainly not out of it, he shot a round of 71 to move to +4, but was displeased with a reporter questioning the pace of play in his post-round press conference.
The PGA champion replied, “why do you think?” when asked why rounds were taking so long before elaborating.
“It felt long to me. Both the par-5s we basically walked up on the group in front of us,” Scheffler said.
“When it’s up on No. 8 -- you’ve got a drivable par-4 on 17. 8 is basically a drivable par-4, too. You guys are the ones watching. I’m just trying to play. I’ve got too many concerns other than the pace it takes to get around this place.”
He was then asked a follow-up question about whether it bothers him, saying no before adding: “Look at the ground we’ve got to cover out there to walk 18 holes.
“That’s a big piece of property. It just takes time. It just takes time to hit that many golf shots.”
LIV pair Brooks Koepka (+2) and Jon Rahm (+4) slipped back with rounds of 74 and 75 respectively.
“I didn’t make a putt, that was the main difference. I didn’t play bad. I played quite good golf,” Rahm said.
“Didn’t see anything go in beside a 7-footer on 7. That’s it. That’s a very hard thing to deal with to try to shoot a score out here.”
The Spaniard added: “Honestly, I’m too annoyed and too mad right now to think about any perspective. Very frustrated. Very few rounds of golf I played in my life where I think I hit good putts and they didn’t sniff the hole, so it’s frustrating.”
Australia’s Marc Leishman (+6) is set to make the cut despite a second round of 75 like Rahm, but Min Woo Lee (+9) is certainly out of the tournament, while Cameron Smith (+11) almost needs a miracle midway through his second round.
The highlight of the day undeniably was Frenchman Victor Perez’s (+1) hole-in-one at the 192-yard par 3 sixth.
Justin Rose also provided one of the most talked about moments of the round as he bizarrely watched his ball roll back past him down a cart path as he was looking up in a tree for it.
Justin Thomas (+12) also struck a chord with the average golfer with an agonising four-putt double bogey after having 22 feet for birdie at the par 5 12th.
