Scheffler has shown his frustrations in the opening two roundsCredit: GettyThe US Open is being contested by a maximum field of 156 players, with the cut taking place on Friday.
Unlike the other majors, the US Open does not offer lifetime exemptions to previous champions, meaning only winners back to Jordan Spieth’s victory in 2015 automatically qualified.
Tiger Woods is not in action as he continues his rehab after undergoing Achilles surgery in mid-March.
Viktor Hovland and J.J. Spaun are the only other players to be under par after two rounds, sitting behind leader Burns.
The current leaderboard for the US Open can be found here.

The course at Oakmont, designed by Henry Fownes in 1904 and renovated by Tom Fazio and Gil Hanse since, will measure a maximum yardage of 7,342 yards and be a par 70.
It is one of the oldest and most prestigious courses in the United States and ranks among the hardest.
Oakmont is famous for its huge sloping greens, heavy bunkering and brutal rough - a true US Open test.
It includes the iconic Church Pew Bunker that comes into play on the 3rd and 4th holes. The bunker is 100 yards long and includes twelve grass-covered ridges, which make lies highly unpredictable.
The course will boast some dauntingly long holes as players face the 632-yard par-5 12th, the 507-yard par-4 15th and the 289-yard par-3 8th, which will become the longest par-3 in US Open history.
Being a par 70, there are only two par-5s on the course, both over 600 yards long, meaning scoring low will be extremely tough and Oakmont chiefs are eager to have the winning score be over par.

McIlroy only just made the cut at the US OpenCredit: GettyWorld No.1 Scheffler has struggled in his opening two rounds of the tournament and has admitted it could have been worse.
Speaking on Friday, he said: "I feel like I battled really hard.
"It's challenging out there. I was not getting the ball in the correct spots and paying the price for it.
"Felt like me getting away with 1-over today wasn't all that bad. It could have been a lot worse."
Scheffler added: "Any time you're not hitting it the way or playing up to my expectations, I think it's frustrating.

"Today was, I think, with the way I was hitting, it was easily a day I could have been going home and battled pretty hard to stay in there."
