– Bryson DeChambeau drained a six-foot eagle putt at his final hole to grab the clubhouse lead after the second round of the US Open at Winged Foot on Friday. DeChambeau drained the eagle putt at his final hole, the par-five ninth, for a two-under 68 that brought him to three under for the week before overnight leader Justin Thomas (five under) began his second round. “I feel like I drove it pretty well considering the windy conditions,” DeChambeau told Reuters. “It’s super tough to hit fairway here but I did it when I needed it most and was able to capitalize when I hit it in the fairway.” Unlike in Thursday’s opening round, when 21 players finished under par, Winged Foot was a much sterner test on Friday as DeChambeau and Bubba Watson (69) were the only players from the morning wave to break par. The closing eagle by DeChambeau, whose best finish in a major came at this year’s PGA Championship, capped a roller-coaster round that also included five bogeys and five birdies. Spain’s Rafa Cabrera Bello (70), who has never finished inside the top 30 at the US Open, birdied three of his final four holes and was in the clubhouse one shot behind DeChambeau. Former Masters champion Patrick Reed, who was a shot back of Thomas after the first round, and four-times major winner Rory McIlroy, who was two behind. Tiger Woods, who came into this week seeking a record-setting 83rd PGA Tour victory, was three over to start the day.
