The cut rule at the U.S. Open golf tournament is this: There is one cut of the field, and it takes place following completion of the second round (after 36 holes, in other words). All golfers who are inside the Top 60 (including those tied for 60th place) at that point make the cut and continue playing the final two rounds.

The top sixty golfers after the first two rounds make the cut, plus any golfers tied for 60th or better. The ties assure that golfers with identical scores are not arbitrarily cut. For example, if 50 golfers are at +2 or better, and 14 golfers have a score of +3, all 14 golfers will make the cut.
