Woodland leads Rose by 2 at US Open

(UTV|COLOMBO) – England’s Justin Rose is two shots behind halfway leader Gary Woodland at the 119th US Open at Pebble Beach.

Overnight leader Rose carded a one-under 70 in round two to move to seven under, while American Woodland shot a bogey-free 65 to reach nine under.

Rory McIlroy’s 69 lifted him to five under, one ahead of Brooks Koepka, who is chasing a third successive title.

South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen is in third on six under after a topsy-turvy 70, while Tiger Woods is level par.

Woods, who ended an 11-year major drought by winning his 15th at the Masters in April, fell away with successive bogeys on the last two holes.
