The U.S. Open field has officially been trimmed down. The second round of the tournament at Oakmont Country Club came to a close on Friday night and only three participants were under par. Sam Burns led all golfers at three under par while J.J. Spaun was second at two under and Victor Hovland rounded out the top three at one under par.

The USGA announced earlier this week that both the full purse and the winner's share will remain the same from a year ago, with $21.5 million total and $4.3 million to the champion. The organization bumped up the total prize money $1.

From an overhead view, the sight is somewhat jarring. The Pennsylvania Turnpike essentially cuts Oakmont's golf course in half.
