The 2025 U.S. Open has lived up to the hype with its challenging course conditions at Oakmont Country Club, and for that reason, some of the PGA Tour's top professionals won't be competing on the weekend after missing the cut line Friday.

Heading into Saturday's third round, only five players in the tournament have posted scores of par or better, while three of them (Sam Burns, J.J. Spaun and Viktor Hovland) have managed to stay under par.

However, for the majority of the field, comprised of PGA Tour and LIV Golf stars, many players struggled to stay in contention heading into the weekend, including 11 notable golfers that ended up missing the cut.

Justin Thomas, Ludvig Aberg, Min Woo Lee, and Justin Rose were surprisingly among the top names that won't be featured on Saturday and Sunday at Oakmont.
