Two-time major champion Collin Morikawa raced to the top of the leaderboard on day two of the US Open at Brookline.
Morikawa carded a superb 4-under 66 in the afternoon wave to move to 5-under par for the tournament, a score that has been matched by Joel Dahmen.
Rory McIlroy made one of the best double-bogeys you will ever see on the par-4 3rd and he recovered well to keep himself in the hunt for a first major title in eight years with a 69 to move within just one shot of the lead.
McIlroy is bidding to win his second US Open title having won his first back in 2011 with an eight-shot romp at Congressional.
The Northern Irishman may have just added a 21st PGA Tour title at the weekend but he is winless in the majors since the 2014 US PGA Championship.
No golfer has won the US Open the week after winning on the PGA Tour in the last 60 years, so McIlroy will be looking to set that record straight at Brookline this week.
Defending US Open champion Jon Rahm is also on 4-under par after a solid round of 67, as too are Hayden Buckey and Aaron Wise.
World No.1 Scottie Scheffler surged into contention with a round of 67 and the reigning Masters champion finds himself in a great position to attack on the weekend at 3-under par.
Other players in contention include Sam Burns and Matt Fitzpatrick on 2-under par, while two-time US Open champion Brooks Koepka moved up to level par to give himself an outside chance of a third win in the tournament.
Phil Mickelson, who celebrated his 52nd birthday on Thursday, had a two days to forget on 11-over par and he will not be around for the weekend.

The pin on the 15th hole may be a tight one to attack, but it was no bother for Matt Fitzpatrick.

The man from Pretoria has played his first eight holes in 3-under par to open up a bit of a lead in the early stages of round two.

Daffue leads Hadwin by one.
Hadwin is just teeing off his second round now.
