US Open Leaderboard 2015: Updated Scores, Standings from Friday at Chambers Bay

The 2015 U.S. Open is rolling along into Friday's second-round action, as some of the sport's premier names jockey for positioning atop the leaderboard while others fight to simply make the cut.

Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson both entered Friday tied for the lead at five strokes under par, a surprising early pace set Thursday that the field—including Stenson and Johnson—will be hard-pressed to match at Chambers Bay Golf Course. The margin for error is slim for those who didn't have their best opening rounds, with the cut looming after Friday's round culminates.

With that said, here's a look at how things currently stand:

For all of the talk about Chambers Bay and how many of the tournament's players were iffy on it, early scores didn't exactly seem to reflect that.

Johnson and Stenson's morning scores of 65 set a pace no other golfer could match, but it wasn't for a lack of trying, as many on the course posted strong rounds. An incredible 25 golfers shot below-par rounds Thursday, meaning not too many of the elite golfers played their way out of the tournament early on.

However, that can't be said of Tiger Woods or Rickie Fowler. The famous pair played in the same group Thursday, only to shoot a combined 21 strokes over par—Woods' 10-over and Fowler's 11-over opening-round scores were two of the three worst of the entire field.

Per ESPN's Jason Sobel, it's just not coming together for Woods, who is fighting Friday to make the cut:

On the other end of the spectrum, struggles have subsided for Johnson, whose withdrawal from last weekend's St. Jude Classic now looks to be a fantastic decision. He simply got back to the ridiculous tear he began 2015 on, getting as low as six under par for his opening round before settling with the co-lead at five under.

He's still a long way from it, but the 30-year-old looks to be in serious contention for his first major. Johnson's best chance to win a major came in this tournament five years ago when he conceded a three-stroke final-round lead, but he feels much more ready for the challenge this time.

“That was a long time ago,” Johnson told Golf Channel's Rex Hoggard of the 2010 U.S. Open. “I think I'm a better player, obviously a lot more mature. My game is definitely in better shape than it was then.”

He'll have to wait until 5:17 p.m. ET on Friday to put it on display again at Chambers Bay, and another round similar to the one he opened up with could put him in an awfully favorable spot to make up for the shortcomings of five years ago.
