One man who wasn’t cursing, however, was Sam Burns, who posted the third lowest score in Oakmont’s U.S. Open history with a remarkable second-round 65. That’s a full 10 shots better than what Rahm mustered on Friday, but let’s just keep that between us … at least until Rahmbo cools down.

Jon Rahm was in contention after the first round at the U.S. Open, but Oakmont got the better of him during a brutal round on Friday.
