Rory McIlroy is on the course in the third round of the U.S. Open at Congressional, where good scores were there for the taking for any player trying to start a comeback.
In search of his first major championship, McIlroy took a six-stroke lead over Y.E. Yang after shooting 11-under 131 over the first two days, an Open record at the halfway point. McIlroy and Yang both made par on No. 1.
McIlroy's six-shot lead tied a record for the biggest advantage after 36 holes, but there were red numbers going up at every corner of the course, which was soft after being hit by numerous downpours during the week.
Teeing off early, Webb Simpson shot 5-under 66 to get to 1 under for the tournament.
