UNIVERSITY PLACE, Washington, June 20 (Reuters) - For a second day in a row, South African Louis Oosthuizen carded the lowest round at the U.S. Open to cap a remarkable comeback after he had faced enormous pressure simply to make the cut.
The former British Open champion delivered a brilliant display of shot-making on a firm and fast-running Chambers Bay layout, a second consecutive four-under-par 66 lifting him into contention for the title after the third round on Saturday.
"If I hit it the way I did today, I think I've got a pretty good chance of putting a good number out there again," Oosthuizen told reporters after mixing five birdies with a sole bogey in tricky scoring conditions under a blazing sun.
