The 2020 U.S Open got off to an exciting start on Thursday at historic Winged Foot, and now the best players in the game will return to try and make the cut at the second major of the year. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the second round.
Previewing U.S. Open Round 2
In general, scores were far lower in the opening round at Winged Foot than most people expected, especially with reports of the terrifyingly thick rough and tricky greens. No score was lower than Justin Thomas’. The World No. 3 and PGA of America Player of the Year went out and shot a five-under 65, the lowest first-round score at Winged Foot in U.S. Open history.
WATCH: Tiger Woods robbed of fourth straight birdie after brutal lip-out
Three players trail Thomas by one stroke heading into Friday’s second round, including Patrick Reed. The 2018 Masters champion made a hole-in-one on his way to a 66 in Round 1. Thomas Pieters and Matthew Wolff later matched him at four under. Four-time major champion Rory McIlroy (67) is also in the hunt after the opening round, while Tiger Woods struggled at the finish to shoot 73, despite a nice birdie run earlier in his round.
Woods and Thomas will get their second rounds started at 1:27 p.m. ET on the 10th tee, and McIlroy tees off at the same time at the 1st. Below you’ll find the complete list of tee times, as well as all the other information you need to watch the second round of the 2020 U.S. Open on TV or stream it online.
