These notables are in danger of missing the cut after first day of the 2024 U.S. Open

The first round of the 2024 U.S. Open is in the books, and we’re ever closer to crowning a champion at Pinehurst No. 2.

Before we get to that point, there has to be a cut, which is the top-60 and ties at the U.S. Open. The USGA’s championship is smack in the middle of the majors when it comes to weekend cuts. The PGA Championship and Open Championship each allow the top-70 and ties to play the weekend while the Masters, which has the smallest field of the majors, is the top-50 and ties.

And after the opening day at the U.S. Open, there are plenty of notables who have work to do come Friday to make the weekend.

Pinehurst No. 2 is playing like a typical U.S. Open. Firm, fast, and there were plenty of scores over par on the opening day. Don’t expect there to be more birdies than bogeys over the next three days.
