PEBBLE BEACH, CA. - A rock-steady Gary Woodland refused to crack under an all-out assault from Brooks Koepka at the U.S. Open on Sunday, increasing his lead to two shots with nine holes to play.
With birdies at two and three followed by a run of pars, Woodland had opened up a three-shot cushion until giving a shot back with his first bogey of the day at 10 to stay two in front of twice defending champion Koepka and 2013 winner Justin Rose. Attacking every flag, Koepka finally paid for his aggressive play when his tee shot at eight ended up in knee-high grass, resulting in his first bogey in 36 holes.
Rory McIlroy began the day five back and quickly found himself scrambling after his tee shot on two landed in the deep fescue ringing a fairway bunker.
