The 124th U.S. Open Golf Championship progressed with an exciting Round 2 at the Pinehurst No. 2 course that saw some surprises from some of the best golfers in the world.

Ludvig Åberg turned a one-stroke deficit into a one-stroke lead on Friday with a 1-under 69. Round 1 leader Patrick Cantlay rebounded from an early double bogey on the front nine to stay one stroke behind Åberg in a three-way tie for second with Bryson DeChambeau and Thomas Detry. Rory McIlroy — who tied for the lead in Round 1 with Cantlay — shot a 2-over 72 (compared to 5 under in Round 1) to drop into a tie for fifth.

From NFL plays to college sports scores, all the top sports news you need to know every day.

Only Åberg, Detry, DeChambeau and Tony Finau have shot at least 1-under in each of the first two rounds. U.S. Open favorite and World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler struggled in Round 2 and shot a 4-over 74. Luckily, his overall score of 5 over was the cut line for this year's U.S. Open.

Unfortunately, that cut line saw many big names in golf, including three-time U.S. Open champion Tiger Woods and World No. 5 golfer Viktor Hovland, eliminated after Round 2.
