A resurgent Rickie Fowler will take a one-shot lead into the weekend at the US Open after a pulsating round in which he made eight birdies. Fowler held the overnight lead with Xander Schauffele at eight under but will begin the weekend on -10 after a birdie-laden round at Los Angeles Country Club.
The American leads Wyndham Clark by one shot, who took advantage of generous fairways and soft morning conditions to reach nine under, while Rory McIlroy overcame a sluggish start to card a 67 which leaves him two back alongside Schauffele, who finished well to shoot a 70 in the tougher afternoon conditions.
