HIGHLIGHTS-Golf-Day Three at the U.S. Open

OAKMONT, Pennsylvania, June 18 (Reuters) - Latest news from the weather-hit 116th edition of the U.S. Open golf tournament at Oakmont Country Club on Saturday (all times GMT): 2315 LANDRY LEADS AS DAY CHARGES PGA Tour rookie Andrew Landry sinks a curling 20-foot birdie putt at the par-four seventh to join Ireland's Shane Lowry in a tie for the third-round lead at four-under, before Lowry slips back with a bogey at the par-three eighth, where his tee shot finds a bunker. Moments later, world number one Jason Day, who started the third round on the 10th hole, coaxes in a slippery 12-footer to eagle the par-five fourth and move within four strokes of the lead. 2255 JOHNSON SLIPS BACK INTO FOUR-WAY TIE AT THE TOP Johnson offsets a two-putt birdie at the par-five fourth with a bogey at the short sixth, where he finds a bunker off the tee, to drop back into a four-way tie for the lead at three-under in the third round. Level with Johnson are fellow Landry, Lowry and Sergio Garcia of Spain. 2201 WESTWOOD SOARS INTO TIE FOR LEAD WITH EAGLE TWO England's Lee Westwood holes out from 130 yards to eagle the par-four fifth, raising his arms in delight as he gets to three-under. Moments later, second-round leader Johnson runs up a double-bogey at the par-four third, where a delicate third shot crested the slope before his ball rolled back down toward his feet. A three-way tie at the top between Westwood, Johnson and Andrew Landry at three-under. 2140 JOHNSON MOVES TWO AHEAD Johnson, a stroke in front after the delayed second round was completed earlier on Saturday, saves par with a deft chip at the second hole to retain a two-stroke lead at five-under over Landry. Johnson leads by two thanks to a six-foot birdie putt at the first hole. 2136 SPIETH ANNOYED BY DISTRACTION Defending champion Jordan Spieth, at two-over, sprays his drive into the right rough at the par-four 18th, his ninth hole, before expressing displeasure, apparently at a photographer: "Right on my backswing," Spieth says in exasperation towards the alleged offender. 2046 SIZZLING START BY DAY TO THIRD ROUND World number one Jason Day makes an explosive start to the third round after teeing off at the par-four 10th, four birdies in his first five holes lifting him to one over for the tournament, just five strokes off the pace. 1830 SECOND ROUND MARATHON FINALLY OVER The marathon, weather-delayed second round is finally completed at Oakmont Country Club with overnight leader Johnson one ahead of Landry at four-under 136. Sixty-seven players will advance into the third round. 1701 PACESETTING BOURDY FALTERS OVER CLOSING HOLES Frenchman Gregory Bourdy, one ahead with three holes to play, bogeys the par-three 16th and runs up a double at the last, where his approach spins back off the front of the green and he duffs his first chip from a divot, to card a three-under 67. That leaves him in a tie for third at two-under 138, two strokes behind 36-hole tournament leader Johnson, "At the end it was a very good day on a very difficult course like this," said Bourdy.
