ARDMORE, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Previous winning form at the U.S. Open counted for nothing as Graeme McDowell and Jim Furyk both staggered toward the exit door from Merion Golf Club after struggling badly in Friday's second round.

Though the cut will have to be made on Saturday with 68 players still out on the course when play was suspended for the day in fading light, the two former champions will miss out by a wide margin.
