US Open Round 2 live updates, standings: Ludvig Berg holds solo lead as Tiger Woods misses cut

We are now halfway through the US Open and we have a close battle at the top of the rankings.

Ludvig Berg held on late to take the solo lead at 5 under. Berg, playing in his first-ever U.S. Open, carded a 1-under 69 Friday at No. 2 Pinehurst to take the lead. Matthieu Pavon almost matched his opponent, but two late bogeys sent him back two shots.

Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy, who each shot a 65 to open the week on Thursday, both took a step back on a very hot Friday in North Carolina. Cantlay will enter Moving Day at third alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Thomas Detry.

McIlroy, who hasn't won a major championship in almost a decade now, will start Saturday two shots behind. He scored a 2-over 72 on Friday.

Scottie Scheffler, who has been nothing short of dominant all season, barely made it through. He was watching what would have been his first missed cut in 672 days. Scheffler nailed the number at 5-over.

Tiger Woods, on the other hand, is finished. He fell to 7-over this week in what was his last missed cut on Tour.

Oh, and Sepp Straka made the first hole-in-one of the week at Pinehurst Friday morning. Then Francesco Molinari followed suit to qualify on Friday afternoon.
