Y despues se les uniría el numero uno, Dustin Johnson quien fallo al completar rondas de 75 y 73.

ERIN, Wis. — It was a good walk spoiled for Jason Day.
The world No. 3 and 2015 PGA Champion said he was fully prepared for the 117th edition of the U.S. Open and was calm ahead of the game’s toughest test as he went to the first tee Thursday. Then he started off with a birdie on his first hole. From there, however, it was one misstep after another as Day stumbled toward a missed cut.
“I usually love places like this,” Day said Friday after signing for a three-over-par 75 the day after he shot 79. “I enjoyed the walk. The walk was great. The golf course is actually really beautiful. And I just unfortunately didn’t execute.
“ … I was just in the hay too much the past two days.”
Day had company every step of the way. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy was grouped with Day (along with Justin Rose) and didn’t find his game until the last six holes of the second round. Coming off a layoff to heal an injured rib for the third time this season. McIlroy’s timing was off and he, too, missed the cut after rounds of 78-71.
And later, No. 1 Dustin Johnson failed to make it to the weekend with rounds of 75-73.
