OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — The pounding rain arrived far too late to douse so many of the meltdowns across Oakmont on Friday in a U.S. Open that produced a brilliant round by Sam Burns and a litany of collapses and tantrums typical in a major that prides itself ...

It has rained in all but one of the U.S. Opens held at Oakmont Country Club.

At 3-under 137, Burns is one shot ahead of J.J. Spaun, who fell out of a share of the lead with a bogey on the 18th.

OAKMONT, Pa. — Now this is why we watch the U.S. Open: carnage, high scores, seething players. We watch the world’s greatest hack their way around a course, missing fairways, missing greens, missing putts, throwing ugly numbers up on the board, and we think, "Now you know how we feel."

Victor Perez capped a nice second-day rally with a tournament highlight — the first U.S. Open ace at Oakmont since 1983. Perez hit a 7-iron on the sixth hole, a 192-yard par 3. Perez ended up shooting an even-par 70 on Friday despite an early triple bogey.

It's also important for people to recognize if they have symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke and seek immediate medical attention if they suspect they have any of these symptoms. First-Aid Stations are located throughout the course at the U.S. Open and are staffed by doctors and other first responders from Allegheny Health Network and UPMC.
