Rory McIlroy was in serious danger of missing the cut at a major for the first time since The Open Championship last year. Through six holes of his second round on Friday, McIlroy sat eight-over par with the cut projected to come into play at seven-over.

Masters champion Rory McIlroy entered the day at 4 over par, while Justin Thomas, Justin Rose and Hideki Matsuyama are also among the players close to the line. Scottie Scheffler and reigning U.S. Open champ Bryson DeChambeau need to avoid a bad day to stay alive.
