If anyone has the mix of street-fighting savvy and short-game magic to hold Oakmont at arm’s length, it’s surely Jordan Spieth. The 2015 champ has been showing signs of emerging from his recent slump, and shot 70 yesterday, a most acceptable start to his hunt for a second US Open. He’s started today in trademark style: a loose tee shot that ends up in the thick stuff, necessitating the taking of medicine. Once he chips out, he spins his approach from 100 yards to five feet, and tickles in the putt to save his par. If he can get the driver behaving – admittedly a big if for the Seve-esque wild man – he’ll be in with a shout this week.

Conditions are very similar to yesterday. Warm but not oppressive; a little bit of moisture in the air to keep the course responsive; not much in the way of wind. On Sky Sports, David Howell suggests today’s scoring will be very similar too. So don’t expect too many of the lads ripping it up: only one player was bogey-free yesterday, the leader JJ Spaun, and his round was only the second bogey-free card in the last 1,037 US Open rounds at Oakmont.
