Patrick Reed holed his second shot from on the par-5 fourth hole, giving him the first albatross at the U.S. Open since Nick Watney in 2012.
The scoring average was 74.63, the highest first-round scoring average at the tournament since the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club (76.47).

Second round Friday, June 13, 2025 Saturday, June 14, 2025
Sam Burns shot a five-under 65, the lowest round of the day, to lead by one over first-round leader J. J. Spaun, who shot 72. With his 65, Burns beat the field scoring average by 9.78 shots, the most strokes gained in a major championship round since Brooks Koepka's 63 (+10.06) in the opening round of the 2019 PGA Championship.
44-year-old former world number one Adam Scott, making his 96th consecutive start in a major championship, replicated his first-round score of 70 to position himself in tied-4th place, alongside U.S. Open debutant Ben Griffin.
Victor Perez recorded an ace on the par-3 6th hole.
The second round was suspended at 8:15 p.m. local time due to lightning in the area, leaving 13 players to finish their rounds the following morning.
The cut came at 147 (7-over-par). Notables to miss the cut included defending champion Bryson Dechambeau, 2023 champion Wyndham Clark, and Phil Mickelson, six-time major champion reportedly playing in his last U.S. Open. Three of the top eight players in the Official World Golf Ranking also failed to make the cut: Justin Thomas (No. 5), Ludvig Åberg (No. 6), and Sepp Straka (No. 8).

Final round Sunday, June 15, 2025
Summary J. J. Spaun shot a final-round 72 to win his first major championship by two strokes over Robert MacIntyre who posted a 68. After a front-nine 40 that included five bogeys in the first six holes, he played his back nine in three under par including a birdie-birdie finish. Spaun holed a combined 137 feet of putts on holes 12-18, including a 64-foot birdie putt on the 18th to seal the win. The overnight leader Sam Burns was leading until a double bogey on the short 11th, a bogey on the par-5 12th, and another double bogey on the 15th after his ball found a wet spot on the fairway and he was controversially not granted relief. He ultimately shot 78 to finish tied for seventh place. Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy both shot 67 to tie for the low round of the day.
Play was suspended at 4:01 EDT due to lightning and heavy showers in the area. Play resumed at 5:38 EDT.
Justin Hastings was the only amateur to make the cut and thus was the low amateur. Hastings finished at 295, 15 over par, and finished in a tie for 55th place.
The USGA used traditional final round hole locations on the greens.
