90: Sic Alps
"Message From the Law"
[Animal Disguise]
San Francisco duo Sic Alps made the leap from primitive noisemakers to semi-pro songwriters in the blink of an eye. Their 2006 debut album was a stumbling wreck of overmodulated, blues-damaged debris, but by last year they had become equally capable of Nuggets-style gems. "Message From the Law", a 12" B-side compiled on A Long Way to a Shortcut, is their shiniest stone yet, a fuzzy garage ditty built around bouncy chords, a finger-snapping beat belted out on trashcan drums, and the faded croon of Mike Donovan. It also has a skewed, loose edge that only an ex-noise band could muster, and while Sic Alps are still given to moments of dodgy confusion, their newfound clarity could be their cleverest trick yet. --Marc Masters
89: Ponytail
"Celebrate the Body Electric (It Came From an Angel)"
At first glance, the smiley, casualwear-clad Ponytail seem mild-mannered, but when it comes time for their ever-more-impressive feats of derring-do, their transformation time's little more than a count-off. And "Celebrate the Body Electric" is bona fide geek-to-superhero music, the surefooted sound of bottled-up rage exploding into banshee squeals and echoing guitars. It's easy to picture it underpinning some Peter Parker type's refusal to hand over the milk-money; or, for more practical application, the blast-off point of their revelatory live shows. "Away we go now," Molly Siegel seems to be chanting as the tune catapults itself into the stratosphere, and with that, they're fucking off. --Paul Thompson
88: Low Motion Disco
"Things Are Gonna Get Easier"
The Five Stairsteps' "O-o-h Child" is an old song about future days. Low Motion Disco's red-cheeked edit, "Things Are Gonna Get Easier", is instead a perfect soundtrack for our idealized present, at a time when hope actually seems totally natural. Revisit your pre-election, bailout-weighted October headspace, however, and remind yourself how absolutely necessary this song was in 2008. It's such an easy high that you wonder if the sort of margarine-spread treatment that LMD employ couldn't be used on every classic soul song. Go ahead: spend winter 2009 dreaming on a 17-minute ambient version of "I Call It Pretty Music But the Old People Call It the Blues". --Andrew Gaerig
87: The Veronicas
From its opening, pathos-laden synthetic strings, "Untouched" wears its artificial heart on its sleeve. Teen-pop duo the Veronicas verge on replicant-status here, chanting at lightning speed through a tongue-twisting account of joylessly insatiable desire. Musically, too, there is no satisfaction: With its brisk, stiff beats, moody guitar, and pseudo-gothic seriousness, "Untouched" is pop at its most totalitarian, demanding submission but indifferent to your enjoyment. Best of all is the high-pitched, melodramatic chorus-- ABBA-like in its touching simplicity and grimly formal perfection. "Untouched" literalizes the put-down "manufactured pop": this is strictly party music by and for flawless, heartless robots. --Tim Finney
86: Los Campesinos!
"Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks"
[Wichita/Arts & Crafts]
"Any idea..." e-mailed an editor in the summer of 2007 after seeing Los Campesinos!, "...what that 'one vote for yes, two votes for no' LC! song is?" It's "one blink for yes, two blinks for no," and the song was "Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks", from a 2006 demo available on the Welsh septet's MySpace. Like last year's #41 track, "You! Me! Dancing!", "Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks" was an unmistakable indie hit from first listen-- LC! closed shows with it long before all but the most LC!-like (read: obsessive) audience members would've recognized it. On 2008's Hold on Now, Youngster..., producer Dave Newfeld (Broken Social Scene) has its youthful desperation spilling over all the more, a superabundance of shouts and scraggly guitar. The lyrics are gloriously elliptical-- Malkmus-gone-emo. As online music gets increasingly corporatized, indie rock appears to be reassuming the marginal place it held in the old brick-and-mortar economy; if so, a subculture crashes and burns magnificently here. --Marc Hogan
85: Osborne
"16th Stage"
[Spectral Sound]
In his review of Todd Osborn's almost self-titled romp down electronic music's memory lane, Andy Battaglia correctly observes that the synth riff that drives opener "16th Stage" sounds a whole lot like the "Doogie Howser" theme. This is the kind of celebration Osborn likely envisioned when he came up with the idea of a record that meditates on the history of house music. The keyboard first comes off as cold and distant, but the song's weary hook persists over a beat and murmured vocals, warming into a fondly remembered moment of nostalgia. --Mike Orme
84: Beach House
If you've never experienced a narco-haze, here's your chance to do it by proxy. In Victoria Legrand's sleepy world, the word "Gila" has about 17 syllables, and she spends the almost whole second half of the song finding different ways to draw it out into melodic ribbons. Alex Scally's guitar, meanwhile, winds like a sepia-toned serpent through the dry lakebed of organ and muffled drums that provides the song's foundation. This is Beach House during the off-season, boarded up and empty, but ringing with memories of warmth and activity. --Joe Tangari
83: Titus Andronicus
"Upon Viewing Brueghel's 'Landscape With the Fall of Icarus'"
[Troubleman Unlimited]
Patrick Stickles is proving himself one of rock's great unreliable narrators, steering his alternately confident and weary Titus Andronicus through all of the existential dread at the heart of the sprawling The Airing of Grievances. "Brueghel's" is the record's literal centerpiece and arguably the tune from which all the others' lyrical threads unfurl. More than that, though, it's the one track on the album that sounds like it could break loose and go on forever, careening off the back of the spiny guitar line that runs through its second half and Stickles' tale of life unrequited. "I was born into self-actualization," he imparts at the song's beginning with what sounds like a smirk, and when the tune's beery ballast crashes into his words about god and death and a Saturday night, you realize he almost means it. These young punks seem to be steering through the days with just as much of a clue as the rest of us, but on "Brueghel's", they've set quite a backdrop for getting derailed. --Paul Thompson
82: Solange
"Sandcastle Disco"
[Music World/Geffen]
Solange wants badly to convince us of her disco hipness, but "Sandcastle Disco"'s video looks like a cross between Michel Gondry and those Hewlett Packard "hands" commercials, both of which seem like more fitting cultural touchstones for Solange than late-period Diana Ross anyway. For an artist (still) looking for a big-moment star turn, Solange works within herself on "Sandcastle Disco", and her honey-lipped restraint is the strongest evidence yet that Solange is more permanent than her titular featherweight palaces. There's nothing wrong with big sis' rapturous declaration, "If you like it you should've put a ring on it," but Solange seems to understand that our relationship with her is still in the "if you like it" phase. So she sings soft and avoids uncouth innuendo, you know, keeps things ladylike. It's all very sweet. --Andrew Gaerig
81: Love Is All
"Wishing Well"
[What's Your Rupture?]
Witchcraft, tarot cards, wishing wells-- what will it take to help Josephine Olausson find that one thing that's in her band's name?? "Wishing Well" doesn't provide any explicit answers, but it does turn the search into an exhilaratingly fizzy lo-fi pop shout-along that ranks as A Hundred Things Keep Me Up at Night's high point. That most Love Is All songs sound like they were recorded in a tin can is part of the act's charm; this one, however, could have been laid to tape inside a confetti-loaded firecracker about to go BOOM. And if the lyrics are all desperation, the music is all hope and excitement; we straight up dare you to get that main melody out of your head. --Matthew Solarksi

Keith Thorpe / Peninsula Daly News
Patrick B. Drum arrives in Clallam County Superior Court in Port Angeles on Wednesday. Drum was formally charged with two counts of aggravated first-degree murder, one count of first-degree burglary, and as a convicted felon, one count of first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm in connection with the shooting deaths of two Clallam County men, both registered sex offenders, on Sunday.
Patrick B. Drum was charged Wednesday with aggravated murder in the weekend shootings of Gary Blanton at Drum's home near Sequim and of Jerry W. Ray at his home near Port Angeles.
Drum was arrested Sunday after a manunt. He had a 9mm pistol that sheriff's investigators say was used in the killings. They also say he left a note saying he hated sex offenders and "it had to be done."
After arraignment Wednesday, the prosecutor will have 30 days to announce the death penalty decision. The only other possibility if the 34-year-old is convicted would be life in prison without parole.

All Blacks
Zac Guildford signed a three-year deal with French club Clermont this week. He tells Fairfax Media about opening a new chapter and moving on from his past.
For the past six years Zac Guildford has grown up in the public eye.
Understandably, then, France presents an escape of sorts.
At the impressionable age of 18, Guildford's natural gifts - raw pace and finishing ability - saw him anointed the youngest-ever Super Rugby player with the Hurricanes.
Since then, he's experienced more peaks and pitfalls than most 24-year-olds from the humble Hawke's Bay.
Few can appreciate how devastating it must have been when Guildford's father, Robert, died in the stands while his son scored two tries in the New Zealand under-20's World Cup win in Tokyo in 2009. That sort of tragedy sticks deep in the soul.
Indeed, Guildford's well-documented alcohol-related demons may stem from attempting to cope with such a profound loss.
From the outside, being a professional rugby player seems a dream, a glamorous existence. While money is notably a perk, the reality can be deceiving. Even more so when you've admitted to being an alcoholic. That's not something anyone lets you forget.
In eight months' time, after completing his final season with his adopted Crusaders' family, Guildford will embark on what he describes as a fresh start; a new life, a new chapter.
Sure he's taking a risk, travelling alone to France having just split from his girlfriend and leaving his support behind. But it will also mean he can learn more about himself than ever before, without being constantly reminded of his mistakes.
Escaping the New Zealand fishbowl offers a precious commodity - freedom. All Guildford has ever known is the 15-man code.
"It is a bit like that," the 10-test former All Black tells Sunday News. "There's been a lot holding me back here recently and I haven't helped myself, but hopefully I can make a positive change. I'll be heading over by myself so it will give me a good chance to grow, experience a new culture and find myself a bit more.
"I've had a lot of support but there is a bit of past history tying me down and not letting me move on with my life.
"I'm not going to go over there and run amok and be a 24-year-old tourist. I'm going there to play good footy. But there will be a chance to do a bit of travel and catch up with some good mates. That's another factor, being able to see the world.
"I know it's not going to be easy, being away from friends and family. I've got a great support system here and going out into the wilderness by myself is kind of daunting, but it gives me a chance to stand on my own two feet.
"It will probably take a while to settle in. I will probably get homesick at times, but I'm ready to embrace it." Guildford, who wants to play fullback at Clermont, has been to the dark side. He doesn't want to resurface there.
He's been granted more than one chance and knows how quickly this life can be taken away. Wine country and lucrative salaries are sure to present temptations but now, more than ever, he seems comfortable with his future.
"I feel it's under control," he said of his drinking. "There's been once or twice where I have had a few drinks but I don't see that being a big part of my future. I'm happy within myself to continue along that sober track. I don't want to return to how I was because it means a bit of trouble. It's like playing with fire. It can be kind of destructive.
"This time last year I made some really significant changes. I've got to admit I haven't been perfect. There's been the odd slip-up along the way.
"I never thought I'd be in this situation where I get to play rugby and earn great money while doing it. I'm quite fortunate. In the past I've taken that for granted and almost lost that opportunity so I want to make the most of it now."
Guildford's All Black dream may be over. This new chapter, though, could be just as rewarding.

Hot answers tagged starting
Since diesel engines rely on compression to run and not a spark like a gasoline engine, heat is directly involved in the combustion of the diesel in the combustion chamber. The way this occurs is that when the piston comes up it compresses the air which is in the cylinder. This creates heat. When the engine is cold, a lot of this heat gets transferred out of ...

When you have the key turned, is that rattling noise the same as when the car was working? You should hear the rumble of the engine firing. Try giving it some gas while turning the ignition.

Tin is an element that is made up of the mineral cassiterite and mined from the crust of the earth. The combination of cassiterite and carbon in a high heat setting forms the type of tin that is used in modern applications.
There are many modern uses for tin that don't include the typical tin can, which is not a tin can at all. Tin cans are actually made of steel and are coated with tin to help keep them from rusting. The tin forms a protective layer around the steel without compromising its integrity.
Tin is commonly used to make windows. The material can be melted down to liquid form where glass can be poured into the mixture. When the mixture cools, the glass separates from the tin and forms a nearly perfect, parallel-structured window pane. These windows are ideal because they are easy to see through and generally do not have any imperfections.
There are not many applications of tin that do not involve the mixture of other metals. Tin can be mixed with copper to make bronze and can be mixed with lead to make pewter. These applications can make everything from ultra-strong metal fittings to conductive metals that aid in the wiring of electricity.

CLARINGTON -- Boots and Hearts 2013 is taking shape.
Organizers Republic Live announced Tuesday that Rascal Flatts, Miranda Lambert, The Band Perry and Dean Brody will play the event next summer in Clarington. The festival is on the August long weekend, Aug. 2 to 4, at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
Republic Live previously announced that the first headliner at the festival is Jason Aldean.
All of the acts were identified as fan favourites at last summer's event.
"Being able to deliver as many of the top country artists that our fans want to see as possible is always our goal," said Shannon McNevan, executive director, partner, Republic Live. "We want Boots and Hearts to be a trusted source for providing not only amazing talent but an overall outstanding event and festival experience."
He said organizers were "humbled" when early-bird tickets sold out after only one performer, Aldean, had been pencilled in for the festival.
"There are lots more artists to be announced, but we're already stoked to be able to bring so many of country music's heaviest hitters to Bowmanville for another epic weekend," McNevan said.

The last time the US Open was played at Congressional, Colin Montgomerie shot an opening-round 65, writes Scott Murray He followed it up with a 76. The weather had been acting up, but even so. It was to prove a costly meltdown; the big man recovered with rounds of 67 and 69, but ended the tournament in second place, one shot behind the eventual winner Ernie Els. Anyway, now look what Rory's been up to.
So let's not heap too much expectation on the young man's shoulders after that glitch-free 65; there's a long way to go. And there are plenty of big names alongside him on the leaderboard anyway, after a fantastic first round. Recent major winners like the reigning Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, the reigning Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, the reigning US Open champion Graeme McDowell, and the 2009 PGA champion YE Yang. Sergio Garcia's up there as well, though I don't know why I bother mentioning that.
Also, sneaking in under the cover of darkness last night, having nipped into the country at the last minute with a freshly printed visa, was former Guardian sports editor Ben Clissitt Robert Rock. Rocky won the Italian Open last week, his first win on the European Tour, and he's taken that form with him to the States, carding a one-under-par 70. On a course he'd never hit a single ball around before. An awesome effort.
So we should have a fine day ahead of us. I'll be here at 2.45pm, but with Rory going out at 12.55pm BST, and Sergio out at 12.44pm, you'll be needing regular updates before then. So please put your hands together for Sean Ingle, who'll be taking control when Holywood's biggest star gets going. Enjoy, and please promise not to desert in droves the minute I get back.
So we should have a fine day ahead of us. I'll be here at 2.45pm, but with Rory going out at 12.55pm BST, and Sergio out at 12.44pm, you'll be needing regular updates before then. So please put your hands together for Sean Ingle, who'll be taking control when Hollywood's biggest star gets going. Enjoy, and please promise not to desert in droves the minute I get back.
1.10pm Good afternoon everyone, writes Sean Ingle. A good start this from Rory McIlroy, who pars the first to stay on -6 and then plonks his approach to the par-3 second to within 20 feet. Of his playing partners, Dustin Johnson (+4) falls short of the green while Phil Mickelson (+3) has a decent birdie chance. Meanwhile Kim, who is -1 through the third today, has moved to -3.
1.18pm Mcllroy's birdie putt, down a sheet-ice slope of a green, slides wide and past the hole. He makes his putt back, mind, and stays at -6. Mickelson - to huge gasps - misses his birdie putt.
1.25pm "Is anyone else as near-to-dammit-certain that McIlroy is going to blow this?" asks Trevor Richards. Not the bookies, Trevor: McIlroy is as short as 7-4 to win the tournament, ahead of Schwartzel 12-1, Yang 20-1, McDowell 25-1 and Garcia 28-1, with the rest even bigger. Early days yet, mind.
1.33pm Rory McIlroy thunders a huge drive at the 466-yard par 4 third to within 133 yards, way ahead of Mickelson and Johnson. A mid-summer easy wedge brings up another birdie opportunity ...
1.36pm McIlroy's birdie putt at three, roughly 25 feet from right to left, swings past the hole. Still, another par. Johnson, meanwhile, biffs one way past the hole from closer in and will have a difficult putt back.
1.46pm Dustin pars the third, but he has to chip out of the rough on the fourth and has a long par putt. McIlroy, meanwhile, is playing-as-she-goes golf and will have another birdie putt on the fourth.
1.53pm To Cowboy-like whoops and hollers, McIlroy sinks his birdie putt at the fourth to move to -7, four shots ahead of Schwartzel (-3 and level through two today), YE Yang (-3, goes out 1.35pm ET) and a group of six players at -2.
1.59pm Scrub that about Schwartzel: he's dropped a shot on the third and he's back to -2. McIlroy is running away with this ...
2.01pm Latest leaderboard: -7 McIlroy, -3 Yang, -2 Garrigus, Kim, Senden, Garcia, Schwartzel, Oosthuizen, Palmer; -1 Dickerson, Z Johnson, Snedeker, Rock, Reavie, Cink, McDowell, Edfors, Stenson, Love III.
2.08pm Mickelson finally grabs some momentum, dropping his approach to the par-4 fifth to within 12 feet and making the putt to +2. McIlroy makes another par to stay at -7.
2.11pm Missed McIlroy's par putt, but the BBC's Iain Carter has just tweeted:
Lovely par save from McIlroy at 5 -- big break on short par putt but dropped it into middle of the cup -7 leads by 4
2.15pm The par-5 fifth hole plays roughly 40 yards longer than it did for the 1997 US Open, but it was still the easier hole on the course yesterday. So you can understand Phil Mickelson's jaw-sunken-into-gum reaction when he cuts his tee-shot into the deep stuff.
2.20pm McIlroy has driven into the left rough on the par-5 sixth. Which allows me to neatly segue into this email from AJ Campbell.
"Following the coverage on the sly at work, cannot believe the odds on Wee Mac at the moment, he is into under 2-1 on Betfair now, which for him with his record of collapses, on a US open course, screams lay, lay, lay, all day," says AJ Campbell, not unreasonably. "He is heavy odds on in the top 5 and top 10 markets and as soon as I get away from a work computer I'll be hitting that pink button! Remember the wee man has only ever won two tournaments in his entire professional career, despite contending countless times, he just can't get the job done and the putter gets wobbly on the final day. Long long way to go, and half the field still in with a chance but I like the Yanger from here, proven major winner, plays the tough courses really well, and has faced down Tiger in his prime twice on the back 9 in a big tournament."
2.28pm Yang has been joined in second-place on the leaderboard by his fellow Korean Kim Kyung-tae, whose birdie at the par-5 16th (his seventh hole of the day) pushes him to -3.
2.33pm Superb from McIlroy! He plays his second out of the rough at the 6th, plays a superb approach to within 10 feet and makes a birdie putt to move to -8! Superb golf - McIlroy's only missed one green all week thus far.
2.45pm Good afternoon, writes Scott Murray, Seanie having done one. Let's get straight down to it: Rory has just eagled the par-four 8th. He's -10 for the tournament. That tournament, dear people, is the US Open. He's not dropped a shot yet! This is preposterous.
2.55pm: He's -10, for goodness sake. Right, let's brace ourselves, the wheels are bound to come off at some point, you can't be going round Congressional again and again without the course coming back to sink its gnashers in your buttocks. But this is quite something. As things stand, he's got a seven-stroke lead, behind YE Yang, who hasn't hit a shot in anger today yet - he goes out at 6.35pm BST - and God-bothering former Masters champ Zach Johnson, who is -3 for the day and the championship, his latest move up the leaderboard an eagle at the par-five 6th.
Tick tock, tick tock... what's the time? It's GOLF O'CLOCK! I still can't quite believe what Rory's up to. The eagle came about after holing a 113-yard wedge. "Did someone say Tiger Woods/Pebble/2000?" asks our man in Bethesda, Lawrence Donegan, via the medium of some social networking site or other. Here's the leaderboard as it stands:
McIlroy (8)
Garrigus (10)
Johnson (7)
Yang (6.35pm BST)
Garcia (8*)
Schwartzel (7)
Oosthuizen (6.35pm)
Palmer (7.19pm)
3.10pm: Just watching some of Rory's work now. Draining a long left-to-right birdie on 4. A lovely wedge over water to set up a surefire birdie at 6. Almost holing another long-range putt on 7, one turn away from a third birdie. Then holing out that 113-yard wedge for eagle on 8: the ball landed right at the back of the green, bit, and slowly spun back, rolling 15 feet back into the cup. He threw up his arms in celebration, then laughed in amazement, incredulity the top note. If you get to see the footage, watch the dude wearing black in the background. The look of shock and amazement on his face is a picture, his jaw sagging and gently oscillating in the breeze. McIlroy's going down the par-five 9th, having dumped his second, a long fairway wood, into the bunker on the right of the green. That should be OK, with a chance of getting up and down for birdie.
3.15pm: A stroke of luck for Sergio on 18. From under a tree on the right, he pulls a poor approach to the green way left, and nearly dumps his ball in the water. The ball rolls down the slope, and should really have kept going into the drink, but somehow held up. He's level par for the day so far, a couple of bogeys, a couple of birdies. Phil Mickelson's right back in this championship, too, with three birdies on the front nine; he's back to level par for the tournament.
3.20pm: "A fellow Irish colleague and I have just been discussing McIlroy's golf so far, and have concluded it is as close to Tiger-esque as we have seen since ... well since Tiger (pre his nuptial shenanigans that is)," writes Karl Gibbons. "Not necessarily in his play, but in the way he just destroys a field, and one wakes up in the morning to learn how many strokes in the lead he is. In saying that, Tiger never imploded like McIlroy has done in the past. Please God let him hold on." On 9, he can't get up and down from the bunker for birdie. He makes a meal of par, tell the truth, taking far too much sand with his bunker shot, then smacking the 20-footer he left himself a good four or five feet past the hole. It was a test to avoid dropping his first shot of the tournament, but one he passed, knocking the ball into the back of the hole with confidence. Par.
3.22pm: Good work from Sergio on 18, who gets up and down from a tricky spot near the water, chipping to 12 feet, then holing the sort of putt he normally misses. It's all about putting, golf. Poor, doomed Sergio. "I was watching yesterday evening thinking if Rory and Phil were playing a scramble they would have been about -14 with Rory's GIR and Phil's putting," begins Padraic O'Shea. "It is a shame that he has a Vijay style putting game given his long game is sublime It is unbecoming to see him jab putts in the vicinity of the hole having nailed a 250yd 3-iron so close in the first place. There is a stat about Vijay's putting I heard many years ago that if he had just been midtable on the putting stats at every major he would have won 25 or something daft, any idea if this is true? Even when he won majors he was ranked bottom 10 on putting which should be impossible."
3.25pm: The first sign of nerves from McIlroy, who hits a fat 4-iron at the par-three 10th, and segues effortlessly into panic mode. "Go! Go! Go!" he spits and snaps. The ball makes it over Mickelson Lake and onto the front of the green, but only just. Only just. Phil's over safely, in the heart of the green. He's a different man to the lunatic who staggered around Congressional yesterday, taking the route of a comedy drunk.
3.30pm: Zach Johnson, perhaps the most boring Masters champion of all time, and God alone knows there have been some contenders, birdies 8 to move into second place on his own, -4 and six behind McIlroy (who two putts 10 without drama, knocking his testing long first putt up the green stone dead). Johnson is one ahead of Yang and Robert Garrigus. "Who is Garrigus?" asks Chris White. "Sounds like a rubbish Scottish poet." He's a journeyman US pro, Chris. Alas! I am very sorry to say, he will not be remember'd for a very long time.
3.40pm: Is the pressure of the huge lead beginning to affect McIlroy's game? After faffing around on the 9th green, and only just getting over the water on 10, he's hit a beautiful drive straight down the middle at 11 only to pull a dreadful 7-iron approach into a bunker to the left of the green. He looks slightly hot and bothered. Then again, it is hot. He's in danger of dropping his first shot of the championship here. "Any thought on the advantage for the pairings going out early this morning?" asks Brian Rottkamp. "I can imagine that the greens have softened up overnight. I live about 15 minutes from Congressional and we received lots of rain (finally) last night." The greens are like lightning, over 12 on the stimp. The early matches should see the best of it, if yesterday is anything to go by; the greens were a wee bit tatty by the end of the day.
3.50pm: Johnson moves back to -3 after pulling a simple straight putt wide left of the hole at 10 from eight feet. He's now seven off McIlroy's pace, because our young hero holes a tricky ten footer at 11 to save his par, after scrambling well from the bunker. The Sky commentary team make the point that, while his 7-iron to the green wasn't much to write home about, it was much wiser to miss left than right, where a 6 would have been on the cards. To illustrate what a good escape McIlroy made from the bunker - he almost hit a pitch-and-run - Mickelson couldn't save his par from a similar spot, attempting a high flop that didn't run on and left him too much to do with his putt.
3.55pm: A sand wedge from 150 yards (!) on 12 by Rory. He clips it to the back-left corner of the green, 12 feet from the pin. Perhaps that scramble at 12 has settled any nerves; that was magnificent. "Am I right in thinking that until relatively recently, nobody had actually got to ten under at any stage of the US Open, ever?" asks Justin Horton. "I'm pretty sure this stat got brought up when somebody, perhaps Mike Donald, reached that score. Not sure when - some time in the early Nineties?" No point me trying to wing it; I don't know. Simple ol' golf hack me. I get the feeling that might be right, though, as the Sky team earlier mentioned how McIlroy had become one of only five players in US Open history to have reached this mark, but he had done it in only 26 holes. Or maybe he was the sixth, and there were five others. I'm not actually being much help here, am I.
4pm: No birdie for McIlroy at 12. A poor putt, really; looking again, he wasn't much more than eight feet from the hole. A birdie blitz from Kyung-tae Kim on 2, 3 and 4 has whisked the Korean towards the top of the leaderboard...
McIlroy (12)
K Kim (13*)
Johnson (10)
Garrigus (14)
Garcia (11*)
4.10pm: Sergio drops back to -1 after missing a six-foot par putt on 3. Kim is millimetres away from knocking in a 15-footer on 14 on 5, but the ball slides past. On the short 13th, McIlroy finds the middle of the green, leaving himself a 25-foot birdie chance. "How many players lead from start to finish in any of the four Majors?" wonders Jeff Kenny, knowing full well that the answer is not many. "I almost want Rory to have a little wobble on day three and come roaring back on the closing nine on Sunday afternoon." Don't worry, he'll wobble at some point, surely. It's only natural. You can't play 72 holes of US Open golf without wobbling. A seven-shot lead, though! At -10!
4.20pm: McIlroy's birdie attempt on 13 stays high of the hole. Par. OK, those players who have reached double figures in US Opens. Gil Morgan in 1992 at Pebble Beach was the first: he reached -10 with birdie at the 3rd hole in his third round after a six-under 66 and a three-under 69, but capitulated to closing rounds of 77 and 81. Tiger Woods managed it in 2000 at the same course, becoming the first to finish with a double-digit score under par: -12. Jim Furyk reached -10 on his way to winning at Olympia Fields in 2003, though he ended the tournament on -8. And Ricky Barnes reached the mark in 2009 at Bethpage, but ended the tournament on -2, two shots behind the winner Lucas Glover. And now here's Rory. Still on -10, and five holes away from a US Open 36-hole record.
4.25pm: Sergio misses a 25-foot right-to-left breaker on 4 for birdie. He looks pained, and nothing's dropping for him today, but he's putting much better than he's done for years, no longer prodding the ball, a proper smooth stroke again. On 14, McIlroy creams his second shot from 160-odd yards to four feet, the ball pitching just behind the hole but for once not spinning back. Yet another birdie chance, and one he really should take.
4.30pm: A beautiful birdie putt from Mickelson on 14 from 30 feet. A smooth left-to-right break, always going in, reaching the hole with a dignified roll and dropping sweetly and quietly into the cup. The crowd erupt; he's still in this tournament, back at +2. Having said that, he'll need the wheels to come clanking off the McIlwagon: Rory confidently rolls in his birdie effort, with a gentle left-to-right break, to move to -11. Eleven under par. THIS IS, QUITE FRANKLY, LUDICROUS.
4.40pm: The amateur Patrick Cantlay has just drained a 50 footer on 16 to move to +1 for the tournament. Putt of the week so far, no question. He shot 75 yesterday, then double-bogeyed 4, but has responded with a run of five birdies in nine holes. Outstanding. "Slightly disappointed in the lack of Dustin-bashing going on in today's coverage," writes Will Pearson, a meanie and no mistake. In fairness to the big man, he's been pretty steady today. Plus one for his round, and no bogey on the card since dropping shots at 4 and 5, holes he traversed in the style of these gentlemen. It's not too late though. Mickelson is the one providing the yuks at the moment, having sliced a wild drive down the left of 15, over the crowds and into the trees. Here comes Left Handed Seve!
4.50pm: Mickelson's got lucky with his lie in the trees on 15. There's wood in the way, so he has to shape a huge fade round the trees. The ball sets out wide right and doesn't come all the way back. Neither does it have the legs, nestling in a bunker at the front right of the green. Still, this is top-quality entertainment, straight out of the Hal Roach textbook. McIlroy takes aim from the centre of the fairway, 185 yards out, but takes half of the hole with him. A huge divot. The ball reaches the green, but a fair old way from the pin.
4.55pm: A couple of magnificent bunker shots here. On 6, Garcia splashes out adroitly to a couple of feet for a certain birdie. He moves back to -2, level par for his round. Then on 15 - where McIlroy so nearly holes a 30 footer before tapping in for par - Mickelson negotiates the face of a deep bunker to send the ball miles into the air and drop it four feet from the hole. What a preposterous par. Again. There's no better player around the greens. He is so good to watch. Does anybody want to do him a favour and snap his driver into two bits over their knee?
5pm: The latest on the heroic Robert Rock, whose jet lag must surely be kicking in soon. After dropping a shot on 18, he's birdied the 1st (split tees for the first two days, remember) to move back to level par for the day, and -1 for the tournament. He'd never played a single shot on this course before rocking up (sorry) at the last minute. Ah, hold on, he's just dropped a shot on 3, failing to hole a 12-foot par putt. Still, this is a Homeric effort nonetheless. Anyway, here's the latest at the very top of the LUDICROUS LEADERBOARD:
McIlroy (15)
Yang (6.35pm BST)
Garrigus (16)
Garcia (15*)
Johnson (14)
Oosthuizen (6.35pm)
Palmer (7.19pm)
5.15pm: "There is no argument anymore after Augusta that McIroy does meltdowns nearly as impressively as the legendary Jean Van de Velde, but there may be a hole in the theory here," writes Kevin Mannerings. "If he carries on like this for another day, he will have a lead of ten shots starting the final day, which is a lot more than the four he had at Augusta. He will be so far in front he will be able to four putt a couple of times and still be miles in front. So that chap Trevor Richards and those laying Rory to lose might find themselves sweating on Sunday." Can he keep it going? Well, after a monster drive on the giant par-five 16th, he's just knocked a 4-iron second-shot to 12 feet. If he knocks that in, he'd be ten clear having not even completed the second round. Just one thing, though: Van de Velde didn't choke; d'Artagnan doesn't choke. (A full explanation of this argument here.)
5.20pm: The amateur Cantlay has just signed for a 67 after birdie at 17 and a near miss with a birdie attempt at 18. The iron shot he hit into the green at the last hole was superlative. He's level par for the tournament, and here for the weekend for sure.
5.25pm: McIlroy can't make his eagle putt, but I have no idea how it didn't drop, skirting around the lip on the left and staying up. He taps in with the back of his putter - I hate it when they do that, it sets my nerves on edge - and moves to -12. That's a joint US Open record with Gil Morgan and Tiger Woods. On Sky, Tiger's former coach Butch Harmon points out that when Tiger did it, he managed it despite making triple bogey at one hole.
5.30pm: Another decent birdie effort flies past the hole for Sergio. He was looking to move to -3 on 8, but has to make do with par. "Hoping Rory has never heard of Bobby Clampett," quips Richard Woods.
5.35pm: Another majestic iron from McIlroy, who goes straight for a tight pin behind a bunker at 17, and drops the ball to within 12 feet. He even has the chutzpah to cock his head this way and that, body language screaming "hmm, not sure". Can he make it to an unprecedented -13?
5.36pm: Yep. McIlroy rolls the ball straight into the middle of the cup, no messing. He moves to -13, a mark no other man has ever reached in the US Open, a tournament established in 1895.
5.45pm: So, then, the most strokes under par at any point during a US Open:
13: Rory McIlroy, Congressional, 2011
12: Tiger Woods, Pebble Beach, 2000
12: Gil Morgan, Pebble Beach, 1992
11: Jim Furyk, Olympia Fields, 2003
11: Ricky Barnes, Bethpage, 2009
9: Ben Hogan, Riviera, 1948
9: Jack Nicklaus, Baltusrol, 1980
9: Tim Simpson, Medinah, 1990
9: Scott Simpson, Medinah, 1990
9: Jeff Sluman, Medinah, 1990
9: Mike Donald, Medinah, 1990
9: Nick Price, Olympia Fields, 2003
9: Vijay Singh, Olympia Fields, 2003
Thought I'd do this while we can, because McIlroy has pulled his drive down 18 into trees on the left. And so it begins...
5.50pm: Rory's got a decent lie in rough trampled down by the crowds, and a line to the green. Probably best not to attack the pin, though. On 9, Garcia finishes off his round by knocking in a missable par tiddler. He signs for a level-par 71. The McIlroy fireworks are obscuring everything else, but this is a fine display by Sergio, who hasn't troubled the leaderboard in a major for years, and surely the other big story of this championship so far. He's solid, if not quite back to his best, but the trajectory is promising.
5.55pm: Disaster for Mickelson on 18. He's hit a huge slice from the tee, and is miles left behind some trees. He hits a peach of a Seve-style escape through two trees, but the ball, racing down towards the green, flirts with the water on the left too much, tips over the bank, and drops into the drink. He's soon followed into the Blue Watery Vagueness (copyright Maurice Flitcroft) by McIlroy, who goes hell for leather for the pin, pulls his shot slightly, and dumps his ball in the drink. Lucky I got that list up when I did, eh.
6pm: McIlroy drops and knocks his chip to ten feet. He'll have that tricky putt for a bogey.
6.05pm: Mickelson drops, chips, then takes two putts for a double bogey. He's never won the US Open, and is unlikely to win it this year either, ending the day on +1 for the tournament. McIlroy can't make his bogey putt, and finishes with a double bogey, signing for a 66. He picks the ball out of the hole and launches it into the lake, in one smooth action. The crowd laugh, then cheer wildly. He'll be slightly disappointed with the ending, of course, but needless to say he'd have taken that this morning. And you never know, finally dropping a shot might have released a little bit of pressure. Here's the leaderboard:
McIlroy (F)
Yang (6.35pm BST)
Garrigus (F)
Z Johnson (17)
Oosthuizen (6.35pm)
Palmer (7.19pm)
6.10pm: Sergio Garcia says he hopes McIlroy wins this US Open, as he's played so well, and deserves it after what happened in the Masters. What a lovely chap. "Did you know that the state of Maryland has no natural lakes?" writes Regan Fitzgerald, resident of North Bethesda. "Bad luck McIlroy and Mickleson going into the drink then."
6.20pm: Zach Johnson gets up and down from a bunker at the front-right of the 18th green, his par putt a tricky downhill effort from the back of the green after a long shot from the stand. That's a great escape, and one that keeps him at -2 for the championship. Half of the field - the likes of Johnson and Garcia especially - must be looking at McIlroy and thinking: why are you doing this?
6.25pm: Here's a thing: the largest lead at the halfway mark by a player who failed to go on and win the trophy is FOUR SHOTS. Tom McNamara, at Englewood in 1909, was the culprit. If McIlroy thought the pressure of a four-shot lead going into the last day of the Masters was intense, this weekend may take him to a whole new level. Still, you'd take it, wouldn't you?
6.30pm: A chat with McIlroy. He's not going to dwell on the last hole, because he played 35 great holes before it. A bit of grass got between the ball and his clubface, turned it over, and that was that. He feels comfortable with his game, and comfortable on this golf course. It was his target to get to double digits today, though whether he'll be quite as aggressive over the weekend remains to be seen: he's aware that par golf will probably seal the deal from here. He's not going to faff around on the range; he'll be spending the rest of the day relaxing, and watching a movie.
6.35pm: Right, I'm nipping off for a few minutes. James Dart will be your guide for the next half hour. At which point I'll be back, and you can all go out for some Friday-night beers.
6.40pm: Evening. What, it's over already? That's right, Robert Rock is in after his second round and he's one under. A brilliant effort after his BMW Italian Open win last weekend. Just the 10 strokes back.
6.41pm: Still, it's better than Ian Poulter, who has just delivered his verdict on a disappointing 73 which leaves him +6:
"Pissed off is an under statement, 1 missed fairway today, didn't get it done from there no excuses. 5 missed fairways in 2 days."
6.45pm: Scanning around the scoreboard, there's a quick move from Heath Slocum, who has birdied the first two holes to lie two under, while YE Yang's round is also under way. His approach to the first finds the front bunker, but a tasty recovery and solid five-foot putt saves par.
6.50pm: Louis Oosthuizen is also out on the course, starting at the 10th, but a bogey at the par three drops him back to -1, while playing partner Graeme McDowell suffers the same fate to fall back to even.
7pm: Robert Rock is accosted on the putting green for a post-round chat. He's tied eighth in the US Open and still a little underwhelmed and says he ran out of steam on his back nine - the front side - following his exertions last weekend and since. Disappointed not to have taken more advantage of holes that are playing easier, he's still semi-chiding himself, but he'll have a late draw on Saturday afternoon either way. Meanwhile, McDowell's scratchy start continues, his second to the 11th falling short of the green, while Oosthuizen's approach lands 10 feet to the left of the pin.
7.10pm: "Which stream do you watch then?" asks Adam Hirst. "Both of mine have commentators whose accents are completely wrong. Sky have Colin Montgomerie with his (sleazy) Posh-Anglo-Scotch, while ESPN have the seemingly brainwashed Ian Baker-Finch, whose voice has crossed a whole Pacific Ocean since his daughter thought the microphone was an Oyce-Crime in 91." Am stuck with Sky for the evening, but speaking of crimes ... oh, and McDowell fails to get up and down, three-putting from off the front of 11: +1 now. Anyway, Scott's fed, watered and back in the hot seat. Enjoy.
7.15pm: Ah, that's better. They are good to me. OK, the latest from Congressional, which in the wake of McIlroy's daft shenanigans, has a slight after-the-lord-mayor's-show feel about it:
McIlroy (F)
Yang (2)
Garrigus (F)
Z Johnson (F)
Snedeker (F)
Garcia (F)
Palmer (He's still got four minutes to wait)
7.20pm: Westwood knocks in a tidy birdie putt on 2, to move to +3. On the par-three 7th, Chad Campbell is an inch from recording a hole in one, the ball bouncing off a slope at the front-right of the green, kicking left, and rolling towards the pin. That was a magnificent shot. He's currently +6; with the cut projected at +5, the birdie he's just about to make will do him very nicely thank you.
Clickity click, each one counts, and it's all for charity.
7.25pm: A good start for Birmingham soul legend Kevin Rowland Florida big hitter Bubba Watson, who birdies the 1st to move to -1 for the tournament. Which reminds me:
7.30pm: The US Ryder Cup captain Davis Love knocks his approach to 11 to three feet and taps in for birdie. He joins Bubba under par, -1 for the tournament. On 13, McDowell draws a lovely shot into the green, leaving an uphill 15-footer for birdie. He needs to hole that, after starting bogey-bogey; the defending champ is currently +1. "I'm in a bar in Toronto watching the golf, booing every American shot," writes Stephen Murphy. "The place has gone pretty subdued since Rory has finished. They're also very partial to 'Bobby' Rock as he's called in these parts. Fingers crossed they don't riot if Rory chucks it away from here." I wouldn't blame them. I'm already getting very nervous about this weekend. Even if McIlroy manages to see it through, he's going to put us through the mill. I just know it. I've spent too many years watching Sergio.
7.40pm: McDowell can't make his birdie putt. He stares at it in disbelief, sure in the knowledge that it should have broken left at the very end, but stayed up on the top side instead. Simmer down, now. On Sky, Monty has been talking about Ernie Els' victory over him here in 1997. Again. This is getting very old. "There's no doubt he deserved to win, he put together the best four rounds," he sighs. But is this news? Or a man still going through the many stages of grief? Is he contractually obliged to revisit this personal nightmare every 30 minutes of his commentary? If not, I'd seriously think about calling some sort of emergency doctor, or at least booking him an appointment with an analyst. This sort of chat can't be healthy. Why is he putting himself through this?
7.45pm: Some of the great non-Rory rounds so far today: four-under 67s from the amateur Patrick Cantlay and Alexander Noren of Sweden, bringing both men to level par after opening-day 75s; Bo van Pelt and Kevin Chappell carded 67s too, taking them to +1 for the tournament; and 69s for Lucas Glover, Steve Stricker, Phil Mickelson and Zach Johnson.
7.50pm: Plummeting the other way: Scott Hend of Australia, who followed up his opening 69 with a seven-over 78; Alex Rocha of Brazil, who added a 76 to his first-day 69; and most spectacularly, Bubba Dickerson, whose opening-day 70 has been obliterated by today's ten-over 81. There'll be no golf for him this weekend, that much is true. He dropped shots on every single hole on the back nine, including a double bogey at 11. That is stratospherically useless. What a business. I hope for his sake he was physically injured, because that's going to hurt a lot longer otherwise.
8pm leaderboard:
McIlroy (F)
Yang (5)
Garcia (F)
Garrigus (F)
Z Johnson (F)
Snedeker (F)
Slocum (three birdies and a bogey in his first six holes)
8.05pm: There's a real lull at the moment. Nobody under par is making a move towards McIlroy whatsoever. Problem is, it's harder to score as the day goes on. Yep, you'd take where Rory is at the moment, for sure. In lieu of any meaningful action, here's Gary Naylor on the Golf Boys: "Just clicked on the video and it's rubbish that wouldn't make it as Norway's Eurovision entry, but sod that - it's golfers not taking themselves seriously! American golfers!! I'd have believed Rory would shoot a round in the 50s before I'd have believed that."
8.15pm: Donald's just knocked his approach at 5 to a couple of feet. After dropping back to +4, he'll be happy to pick one back up immediately. Jason Day moves under par for the tournament with a birdie at 13. The veteran Davis Love moves backwards, though, missing a par tiddler at 14.
8.20pm: Here's Lawrence Donegan on McIlroy's round. "I have treated it as a learning experience," he said. If he was bluffing, then he is in trouble. If not, then the trouble lies in the laps of those in pursuit.
8.22pm: After picking up a shot at 5, Donald cards another birdie at 6. He's now +2 for the tournament. On the par-three 7th, Yang hits an easy hybrid pin high to the right of the green, using the bank to send the ball rolling back towards the pin. He's got an eight-foot putt for his first birdie of the day.
8.30pm: Yang knocks in his putt to move to -4. He's two clear of the pack, but seven behind the leader. Rose has just drained a monster on 14; he's +3 for the tournament. Louis Oosthuizen is having a complete shocker: three bogeys and a double bogey in his first six holes. He's +5 for the day, and +3 for the tournament. He's clipped a delicious long iron from 220 yards to eight feet at the par-five 16th, though, so has a chance to snaffle a couple of those shots back.
8.32pm: Oosthuizen strokes his putt into the centre of the cup, and moves back to +1 for the championship. Here's a stat: he's missed the cut in seven of his last eight majors. Of course, the one he made, last year's Open, he won. Which, as the commentary team on Sky have just pointed out, is a pretty good record when you think about it. Most players would take one major win from their next nine, after all.
8.35pm: Yang has just hit a brilliant shot on 8. He'd sent his tee shot up against the high face of a bunker, but manages to get his second shot up and to the back of the green, where the ball bit and rolled back. He's left with a 30-footer, but that's quite a result from where he was. Two putts and he'll be happy to move on. "Bob Costas was just trying to get into McIlroy's head on NBC," reports Regan Fitzgerald, "asking how he was going to sleep on the double bogey. Rory said he's going to focus on the other 35 holes. Now Rory is off to see Hangover 2."
8.40pm: This would be one hell of a tight tournament without McIlroy at the top. It still could become so, but dear me. Eleven under par! At the US Open! You just don't do things like that. I still can't get over it, and he's been in the clubhouse for the best part of three hours now.
8.45pm: Slocum makes par on 9 despite fluffing a chip in the Sunday hacker style from the front of the green, totally giving up on his swing halfway through. He practically walked off before he'd hit the ball. Anyway, after the ball rolled back past him, he got up and down well. He's still -2. On 17, McDowell arrows a peach of an approach straight over the flag and knocks in the ten-foot birdie putt. He's back to level par for the tournament after that bogey-bogey start.
8.55pm: Westwood misses a very simple par putt on 8 to move back to +3. Donald rattles in a putt of similar length - six feet or so - for birdie, to move to -1. He's carded three birdies in the last four holes. This is good stuff from Luke, who suddenly looks right on his game. "If Rory and Sergio are in the last pair on Sunday, will either of them be able to get the club to the top of the backswing?" wonders Gary Naylor. "It could be a long night."
8.57pm: McDowell has hit his second at 18 into deep filth on the right. He was really frightened of the water on the left there. Back on 9, Yang's attempt to reach the green in two ends in failure, his fairway wood ending up in the thick stuff front left of the green. It'll be interesting to see how these chaps react to those posers.
9pm: A decent enough chip from Yang to find the green and set himself up with a 20-foot right-to-left curler for birdie. And he makes it. Complete brilliance from where he was. McDowell meanwhile plays a Mickelsonesque flop from tight rubbish to the right of the 18th, leaving himself with a six-footer for par. The top of the leaderboard on the hour:
McIlroy (F)
Yang (9)
Garrigus (F)
Snedeker (F)
Z Johnson (F)
Garcia (F)
Slocum (10)
9.05pm: A weather warning, with a threat of thunder and lightning. The rain's coming down. And the horn's gone: play's been suspended.
An electrical storm is expected, but not a huge one, and the delay should be reasonably brief. We'll be back the minute something happens. You won't miss a thing. Cool glass of e-numbers, anyone?
9.10pm: INTERMISSION
9.30pm: The sun is back out at Congressional, with the storm passed. It might still be a wee while before the players are back out on the course, but play should resume sooner rather than later.
9.45pm: Great news: the players are back out on the course, and nearly in position to restart.
9.46pm: A huge cheer from the galleries as the horn blows to restart the action. Bubba is the first to take his shot - he really doesn't like hanging around - and clips his second at 8 to 15 feet.
9.50pm: Watson can't make his birdie putt. Brilliant putt on 18 by McDowell, who had the best part of an hour to think about making his par. He's level for the tournament. What a save that was from a hellish position out on the right. Westwood makes birdie on 9; he's +2. Donald follows him in to move back to level par. On 10, Yang pushes his hybrid club, sending the ball into a bunker on the right. At least I think it's in the bunker. If it's in the thick rough, he'll be in all sorts of bother.
9.55pm: Going like a train today is Marcel Siem of Germany. He shot 79 yesterday, and was heading home at the weekend you'd have thought, but after opening with a bogey, he's made six birdies in eight holes between the 5th and 12th, to move up the leaderboard to +3, safely inside the cut for now.
10pm leaderboard: Yang hits a brilliant bunker shot at 10 to a foot or so. He saves par. This is how we stand...
McIlroy (F)
Yang (10)
Garrigus (F)
Snedeker (F)
Z Johnson (F)
Garcia (F)
Slocum (11)
10.05pm: Westwood and Donald at 10. The latter gives himself a decent birdie opportunity by knocking his tee shot just over the flag, 15-20 feet past. Westwood will do well to save his, though, dumping the ball in one of the bunkers at the back. He'll have a very tricky shot, with not much green to work with but a lot of carry.
10.10pm: Westwood hits his bunker shot 30 yards to six feet. Donald looks like making his birdie putt, but the ball stops one turn short. That would have moved him into red figures. He settles for par, as does Westwood when he rolls in his putt. Kaymer, playing alongside them at +2, hits one of the worst putts in the history of All Golf to leave himself a tricky par effort, which he then knocks in with ease.
10.13pm: Yang wangs his second at 11 miles left. It clatters into trees. He might have got lucky with a decent lie, though. We'll see.
10.15pm Yang's to the left of the green, not quite behind a tree. He's got to get over the bunker, but hold the ball on the green, with water at the back. And he plays a wonderful wedge, holding it on the green just. He'll have a 12-footer to save his par. This will be some escape if he manages it. Ryan Palmer started the day -2, bogeyed 11, 12, and 13, and has bounced back with birdies at 15, 16 and 17.
10.20pm: McDowell gets up and down from a bunker at the par-three 2nd. He's still level par for the tournament, +1 for his round. Yang can't make his par putt on 11, and drops back to -4. That's his first dropped shot of the day, but it could have been so much worse. His chip from a position of extreme nonsense out on the left of the green was simply wonderful. He's a magnificent player.
10.25pm: Harrington will be in red figures now, hitting his second at 12 to the back of the green, the ball then rolling back to one foot from the hole. That's a lovely approach. Good to see him back in the mix at a major. Sergio probably won't be too happy to see him knocking about, mind.
10.30pm: Donald and Westwood both par the tricky 11th. McDowell drives into a bunker down the right at 3, but clips an iron 180 yards to the front of the green, giving himself a birdie opportunity up the slope. Yang hits his second at 12 to six feet, a marvellous response to his antics down the previous hole.
10.40pm: G-Mac can't make his birdie putt on 3. No such problem for Yang on 12, who rattles in his birdie chance to move back to -5; he's six behind McIlroy.
10.42pm: On 13, Yang pulls his teeshot left, and then pulls a face as he spins 360 degrees in frustration. His ball's nestled in thick rough on a hill at the back-left of the green, with the pin tucked up in that corner. He's faced with another tough up and down, and will have to pull another chip of the quality he hit down 11 if he's to escape with his par.
10.45pm: Yang plays another wedge of genius, ripping through the tight grass and throwing the ball high into the air. It drops softly six feet from the hole, giving himself a great chance of saving par. Immense.
10.50pm: Yang's par putt stays out, staying out right on the high side. The chip really deserved better. He's back to -4. On 12, Donald's momentum stalls, a fat shot from a fairway bunker followed by a poor chip and awful putt. He's back to +1. McDowell is making a mess of 4: he puts his third through the green, then duffs a chip, the ball travelling not much more than a couple of inches. He's got two putts from the edge of the green for double bogey, but seeing he'll have to hit the first one at a right angle from the hole, such is the slope of the green, he'll do well to escape with a 6.
10.55pm: McDowell manages to two putt: that's still an ugly six, and he's back to +2 for the tournament. In truth, you couldn't really blame him for the duffed chip: an inch further and it wouldn't have snagged on the apron, but zipped off towards the hole at a rate of knots instead. But that's the US Open. And an illustration of just how well Rory McIlroy has played over the first two days of this championship.
11pm: A no-fuss par for Yang down the 14th. Here's how that leaves the leaderboard:
McIlroy (F)
Yang (14)
Garrigus (F)
Snedeker (F)
Z Johnson (F)
Garcia (F)
Slocum (14)
11.10pm: A few players suffering at the moment. Bubba Watson double-bogeys 12, after fannying around at the bottom of a slope by the side of the green; he's now +3. Luke Donald is really losing momentum, driving into the thick stuff on 14 and struggling to get it back out onto the fairway, so deep and tough is the rough. He'll need to get up and down from 60 yards or so to save par. And on the 15th, Yang pulls a poor drive into the deep nonsense down the left. McIlroy - if he's finished watching his DVD - will be happy with the way this is going just now.
11.15pm: Yang takes his medicine and chips out back onto the fairway, after seriously considering lashing at the ball with one of his hybrids. If he saves par from here, it'll feel like a birdie. Thing is, though, he really needs to be making a move forward, to put as much pressure on McIlroy as possible.
11.25pm: Yang escapes with his par on 15. Magnificent golf. He hits his wedge to six feet, and knocks in the putt. There's a lesson in course management; Yang's man insisted his player chipped out when in trouble instead of going for the glory shot, and it's paid dividends.
11.30pm: McDowell birdies 6 to move back to +1, and gives himself half a chance for birdie on 7 by hitting his tee shot to 20 feet. A birdie for Westwood on 15; he's at +1 too.
11.35pm: McDowell can't quite make his birdie putt at 7, but it was a fantastic effort, stopping just short of the cup. He remains at +1.
11.40pm: Yang hits a wonderful third shot into 16, an easy wedge from 100 yards. He's pin high, six feet tops from the hole. That really should be a birdie, and a move back to -5.
11.45pm: Yang knocks in his putt for birdie, and moves to -5. He's well clear in second, three ahead of the pack at -2. That save on 15 looks even better now. On 18, Marcel Siem pars, signing for a 66, equal best round of the day with McIlroy. What a comeback by the German, who was +8 at the start of his round; now at +3, he'll be here for the weekend. Marvellous stuff.
11.55pm: Yang leaves himself another birdie opportunity on 17, stroking a delightful iron to 15 feet. Behind him on 16, Westwood misses a simple chance to move to level par, tweaking a twitchy short putt right of the hole. Donald misses his birdie putt too, and stays at +3. It's been a really poor back nine from the world number one, with three dropped shots so far.
Midnight: the leaderboard. Yang can't make his birdie putt, which had a fair old right-to-left swing. He remains six behind the leader.

12.05am: Troubles for the defending champion McDowell on his final hole, the 9th. His second goes into deep rough down the left; he's got a downhill lie, under the branches of a tree, with not much green to play with. He finds the green, but only the very back, miles from the pin. He can't get down in two putts, dropping a shot at the last, for a round of 74. He's +2 for this year's championship. Meanwhile the amateur Russell Henley pars the last to sign for a 69; he's level par for the tournament. Fine work.
Midnight: the leaderboard. Yang can't make his birdie putt, which had a fair old right-to-left swing. He remains six behind the leader.

12.25am: Some technical issues at the end of the day; many apologies. You've not missed much... other than of course the end of Yang's round. He pars the final hole to end the day six behind McIlroy.
