We’re halfway through the 2017 U.S. Open and with 36 more holes to go, this is as wide open and hard-to-predict national championship in years. The leaderboard is an odd mix of players who hit it a long way, short hitters, and unproven commodities at the majors.
2017 U.S. Open live stream: How to watch Saturday’s round online
Sergio, Spieth, and Hideki are some of the top remaining names who will be the focus of the streaming coverage on moving day at the U.S. Open.

The big names, by and large, have been ejected from the premises. Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, and Rory McIlroy all missed the cut. It’s the first time the top three in the Official World Golf Ranking have missed the weekend at this championship, which was already without standby legends Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.
The highest remaining ranked player in the field is Hideki Matsuyama. The Japanese phenom is No. 4 in the world and put on an absolute show on Friday playing alongside DJ and Jordan Spieth. Matsuyama strikes it as well as anyone in the world. It’s just that his putt is usually crap. He’s won tournaments with negative strokes gained putting, which is extremely hard to do and a testament to just how good his tee-to-green game is on a consistent basis.
Matsuyama will be a big focus of the TV coverage, and he’ll be front and center on the late afternoon streaming, too. Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia, and Patrick Reed are the other big names to be spotlighted on those two featured groups streams. The TV broadcast goes live at 11 a.m. ET, and that’s exactly when the streaming will be up and running too. So there’s no window in the early morning where the streaming gets an advantage here like on Thursday and Friday.
