It was a torrid second day for the South African contingent at the US Open, as only MJ Daffue made the cut at the third major of the year.
After a stellar first-round 67 that saw him just off the top of the leaderboard, Daffue only managed a 72 in the second round on Friday, leaving him four shots behind joint leaders Joel Dahmen and Collin Morikawa of the United States.
Branden Grace followed his first round 76 with a 69 but missed the cut by two shots.
Louis Oosthuizen also fired a 69, but his 77 in the first round always had him on the back foot, while Shaun Norris' 78 and Erik van Rooyen's 72 weren't enough to keep them in the tournament.
Dahmen and Morikawa hold a one-shot lead over a chasing pack of five golfers, including former major winners in Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm.
