The second round of the 115th United States Open golf championship at Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington tees off Friday morning with just 25 out of 156 golfers under par after the first 18 holes played.

Dustin Johnson of the United States and Sweden's Henrik Stenson are tied for the lead at five under par. Johnson, who's been in contention in major championships before, will tee off on the first hole at 5:17 p.m. Eastern time Friday afternoon. Johnson is paired with Spain's Sergio Garcia and Adam Scott of Australia, both of whom shot even par 70 in Thursday's first round.

At the very same time as Johnson's group, Stenson will start Friday's round on the tenth hole. He's playing with Francesco Molinari of Italy and Brandt Snedeker of the US. Molinari shot a two under par 68 Thursday while Snedeker is at one under par.

All alone in third place at four under par is Patrick Reed of the US. He's paired with Welshman Jamie Donaldson, who shot a four over 74 Thursday, and American Chris Kirk, who's at even par. This threesome will tee off at 5:39 p.m. Eastern time Friday.

There's a three-way tie for fourth place that includes Matt Kuchar, Ben Martin, and amateur player Brian Campbell, all from the United States. This trio all shot three under 67s on Thursday. 

Kuchar is playing with 2010 US Open champion Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland, who shot a four over 74 Thursday, and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, who's at even par after one round. This threesome will tee off at 5:06 p.m. Eastern time Friday.

Martin is paired with Scotland's Stephen Gallacher and Shane Lowry of Ireland, who's at one under par. They will start play at 11:39 a.m. Eastern time Friday.

Campbell just finished his senior season at the University of Illinois, helping the Illini reach the NCAA tournament. His threesome will tee off at 12:01 p.m. Eastern Friday.

Masters champion Jordan Spieth and playing companion Jason Day are both two under par after the first round. They, along with Justin Rose, will tee off at 11:17 a.m. Eastern time.

Other notables include Phil Mickelson, who shot a one under 69 Thursday. He, Bubba Watson, and Angel Cabrera, who both are at even par, tee off at 4:33 p.m. Eastern on Friday.

Rory McIlroy, who's at two over par, will start his second round at 5:28 p.m. Eastern time. Tiger Woods and Rickie Fowler, who shot a ten over par 80  and eleven over 81 in the first round respectively, hit the course at 11:28 a.m. Eastern.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
