Collin Morikawa improved to two-under par with a five-under 65 in the second round of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, significantly enhancing his position after a first-round 73. Morikawa attributed his turnaround to switching back to his trusted wedge after a disappointing first round with a new club that affected his short game. The adjustment allowed him to regain confidence, leading to better execution on the greens. With much of the field still competing, his final standing remains uncertain until the completion of the round.
