Jon Rahm misses cut at US Open, joining other top golfers out

At the 2026 U.S. Open held at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in New York, 31‑year‑old Spaniard Jon Rahm failed to make the cut after rounds of 68 and 78, finishing three strokes above the +4 cut line. Rahm said, “That’s what hurts the most… I don’t feel like I played badly.” He became the first player since 2018 to miss the cut at this venue, joining other high‑profile exits such as Brooks Koepka, who missed the cut for the first time since his 2012 debut, and Bryson DeChambeau, who fell short by one stroke, marking his third consecutive missed cut in majors this season. The only Spaniard to survive was Ángel Hidalgo, who posted a +3 total and secured a spot in the weekend field. The leaderboard after two rounds showed Wyndham Clark leading at –7, with Matt Fitzpatrick, Xander Schauffele, Tom Kim and Sam Stevens also in contention. Rahm, one of 13 LIV Golf players in the field, will now turn his focus to the Genesis Scottish Open. A new code of conduct introduced for majors in 2026 resulted in Chilean Joaquin Niemann being penalised for serious misconduct during the tournament.
