A total of 12 LIV Golf players teed it up in 2024 US Open at Pinehurst No.2, but only eight of them made the cut.
Dustin Johnson (8-over par), Phil Mickelson (15-over par), Adrian Meronk (12-over par) and Eugenio Chacarra (8-over par) all bowed out of the third major of the season on Friday.
Mickelson just needed to win the US Open to complete the career grand slam, but he will turn 54 on Sunday and you have to feel his best days are now behind him.

But it’s not all doom and gloom for those on LIV Golf as arguably their form in US PGA runner-up Bryson DeChambeau is once again back for more at this week’s US Open.
Bryson DeChambea is playing well again
DeChambeau, who won the 2000 US Open at Winged Foot, has opened with rounds of 67 and 69 to move to 4-under par and within a shot of the 36-hole lead currently held by PGA Tour star Ludvig Aberg, who is making his US Open debut and third major appearance.
Other LIV Golf players in contention for the US Open include Tyrrell Hatton on 1-under par and Sergio Garcia, who only made it into the tournament on Monday as the first alternate, on level par.
Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka just made it into the weekend on the number at 5-over par.
