Scottie Scheffler has largely been forgotten about after a difficult start to his round. He was one over after eight holes but back-to-back birdies sees him move into the red.

If he can get a run going then there’ll be a few nervous faces at the top of the leaderboard.

Rickie Fowler finds the left greenside bunker on the 1st hole but has a nice lie and flicks it close to the hole to set up a birdie chance. His putting has been good all day and he knocks another in to earn a share of the lead!

Justin Rose has had a shocker on the 18th making a double bogey to compound a tough round into an awful one. He’s now five over par for the day but has time to recover.

Unfortunately his second shot on the 1st flirts with the front of the green but doesn’t quite catch and rolls back down the hill leaving him with a 45 yard chip to set up a birdie opportunity.

Jacob Solomon reaches four-under!

The 26-year-old American moves into the solo lead with a wonderful birdie on 15. He’s got three holes left in his round today and won’t be too far away from the top of the leaderboard should he avoid any bogeys.

Jon Rahm has been zig-zagging across the course in this round and bombing shots out of the rough trying to rescue himself. A nice recovery to the 17th green gets him a chance to save par but he just slides one by the left edge and that’s a shot gone.

Max Homa is hoping for “carnage” in the 123rd US Open to ensure his course record remains firmly intact.

Homa shot a stunning nine-under-par 61 at Los Angeles Country Club on his way to winning the prestigious Pac-12 title in 2013, a tournament which also featured two-time major winner Jon Rahm.

To no-one’s surprise, Rahm predicted on Tuesday that typical US Open conditions would ensure there would be no repeat of Homa’s heroics this week, with Branden Grace’s men’s major record of 62 also looking safe.

Rickie Fowler makes it look easy. He rolls home his birdie putt on the 18th green (his ninth hole) and moves to three-under after the first half of his round.

Over on the front nine Max Homa is making moves. A birdie on eight takes him to -2 before he slides another birdie putt past the right edge on the ninth.

Rickie Fowler is back in the game with a birdie chance on nine. His approach is solid and a helpful bounce skips the ball over to the right side of the pin leaving him with a makeable but difficult putt.

Oh hello, Paul Barjon is quietly going about his business.

He rolls in a third consecutive birdie on the 15th to take a share of the lead and is quickly joined by Gunn Charoenkul who gets a 8 or 9 footer to drop.

There are five players at three under now.
