PINEHURST, N.C. -- Fifteen-time major champion Tiger Woods won't be around for the weekend at the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 -- and world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler barely made it.

Sweden's Ludvig Åberg survived the fast and firm conditions and stifling heat to take the lead at 5 under, which is 1 stroke better than LIV Golf League captain Bryson DeChambeau, Belgium's Thomas Detry and Patrick Cantlay heading into the final 36 holes.

Four-time major champion Rory McIlroy -- trying to end a nearly 10-year drought without winning one -- is only 2 strokes behind, along with Tony Finau and France's Matthieu Pavon.
