The upcoming 2024 U.S. Open is set to be an exciting event for golf enthusiasts, with over 150 golfers gearing up to compete at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club’s Course No. 2 in North Carolina. One of the notable players to watch out for is Wyndham Clark, who clinched his first major championship by defeating Rory McIlroy in the 2023 U.S. Open. Clark is aiming to follow in the footsteps of Brooks Koepka by winning back-to-back U.S. Open titles this year.
However, before Clark can think about defending his title, he must first ensure he makes the cut at the tournament. Having missed the cut at both the Masters and PGA Championship earlier this year, Clark faces a challenge in advancing to the final two rounds of the U.S. Open. So, where does he need to stand on the leaderboard after Round 2 to stay in the competition?
The cut line at the U.S. Open is determined by the top 60 golfers, along with any ties, after the second round on Friday. Those who fall below this threshold will be eliminated from the tournament, while the rest will move on to compete in the final rounds. As for the specific cut line for the 2024 U.S. Open, it will only be revealed after the conclusion of the second round on Friday.
Looking back at the 2023 U.S. Open, the cut line was set at 2-over, resulting in 65 golfers making it through to the latter stages of the tournament. Notable players like Phil Mickelson and Jordan Spieth were among those who failed to meet the cut and were eliminated from the competition.
For fans eager to catch the action live, the 2024 U.S. Open will be broadcasted on NBC and USA Network. Additionally, viewers can stream the tournament on Peacock, NBC.com, and NBCSports.com, as well as through the NBC and NBC Sports apps. So mark your calendars for June 13 to June 16, and don’t miss the thrilling showdown at this year’s U.S. Open!
