Also, Fowler has never won one.
Day at least managed to find one positive spin.
In fact, you have to go down to 19 place to find a victor of a major, Sergio Garcia at three-under. But he missed a pair of 10-foot birdie chances in that stretch, and one of the birdies he made was a two-putt from 20 feet on the par-5 seventh.
The top three golfers in the world, and six of the top 10, didn't make it.
Under clear skies and warm sunshine, the Erin Hills course still offered plenty of encouragement after a day of record low-scoring on Thursday.
And a day after 44 players finished under par to set the record for most sub-par rounds in the first round, 46 players signed for a sub-par round. "Yesterday (Thursday), I just hit some shots close and made some putts".
He three-putted on No. 13. "I think it's going to produce a really great champion". "So, all in all, not bad".
Paul Casey has a share of the lead heading into the third round.
He missed a five-footer for birdie on his first and then squandered another chance on 11, where he missed a 12-footer. No harm, no foul.
After hitting his drive into the rough on the 17th hole, Hadwin did well to get his second shot up by the green. You've still got to make a score. So there he stood at two under and seemingly out of the picture.
Casey said he couldn't remember the last time he had five birdies in a row or an eight in a competitive round.

Trump returned to the White House on Sunday after spending Father's Day weekend at the Camp David presidential retreat. Trump adviser Newt Gingrich said on ABC's "This Week" that the tweet Friday "didn't help him".
"I was in the hay too much over the last couple of days", Day said. Garcia carded an eagle, three birdies and three bogeys in a roller coaster round.
Fleetwood, a 26-year-old Englishman, arrived at Erin Hills this week having missed the cut in six of the seven major championships he played, but you wouldn't know it by the way he's carrying himself.
Glance down the U.S. Open leaderboard, and golf fans will see some familiar names. His best finish was fourth in 2014 at Pinehurst.
The Englishman won the Masters a year ago for his only PGA Tour victory. Then his game flattened out on the front nine, bogeying one and six. He says the greens on his last few holes "were firming up". This game's all about putting, so it's pretty simple, I just didn't get it in the hole fast enough. "I drove the ball well, my irons were good. If you do that you're going to deserve a bogey out there".
"It was a good display - all my own fault - but a good display of what can happen if you get out of position on this golf course, which is what I did on 14", Casey said.
Chez Reavie matched Matsuyama's 65 in round two to lead a group at four under.
"But for me, it felt like it played tougher today".
McIlroy, sidelined for a month with rib and back injuries, could not shake off the rust missing the U.S. Open cut for the second consecutive year.
"I have no expectations", he said. "And I just unfortunately didn't execute". I couldn't possibly shoot any higher than I did, I just struggled on the greens.
After an opening round 74, world number four Hideki Matsuyama looked ready to join the parade of top ranked players to the exit but the Japanese hit back with the joint best round of the day of seven-under 65 to shoot up the leaderboard and into contention at five-under.
But that's not all that makes the possibilities so limitless Saturday.
