Rory McIlroy has missed the cut at the US Open at Erin Hills, Wisconsin, for the second year running.
The World Number 2 was 13 shots off the lead, 6 over-par after carding a first-round 78.
A 71 on day 2 wasn't enough to bring him out of the danger zone.
Another former US Open champion, Portrush's Graeme McDowell joined the exit list with 5-over-par.
