Sam Burns came into Friday knowing that he could play at Oakmont. He also knew what the course could do to him, having finished with three bogeys and one double bogey during Thursday’s opening round.

With that par, Burns set quite the marker for the rest of the field. He is one of two players, along with Viktor Hovland (-1), to get into the clubhouse after their second round in red figures for the week. He can now sit back and watch the rest of the leaderboard battle with Oakmont on Friday afternoon.
