McCarthy only Cavalier to survive Open cut

By Jerry Ratcliffe

PGA Tour player Denny McCarthy is likely the only Virginia Cavalier to survive the opening two days of the U.S. Open at Oakmont.

McCarthy, a former Cavalier, was tied for 23rd place on Friday and stood at 4-over par, before the second round was called due to weather. McCarthy, who finished his round, will easily make the cut, projected to be 7-over par.

Current Virginia star Ben James stood at +8 and is likely to miss the cut by a stroke in his first U.S. Open experience. Teammate Brian Lee is +16 and former Cavalier George Duangmanee was at +35.
