American Sahith Theegala: Even as many big names suffered a lot at the tough Pinehurst No. 2, Akshay Bhatia, playing only his second US Open, held his nerve to overcome two early bogeys to card 1-over 71. He is Tied-ninth at the halfway stage of the 124th US Open.

A two-time PGA Tour winner, the Indian-American Bhatia’s parents are Indian, but he was born and brought up in the US. He is 1-under for 36 holes with 68-71.

The other similar Indian-American Sahith Theegala improved on his first round of 77 by eight shots for a 68 and squeezed inside the cutline alongside Major winners like world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (71-74) and Brooks Koepka (70-75). They were all Tied-57th as the cut fell at 5-over.
