Barnes in rare company
Ricky Barnes has become the fourth player in US Open history to reach at least 10 under par, getting to 11 under with an eagle on the par-5 fourth hole. Barnes, who set the US Open record for the lowest first two rounds at 132, has a three-shot lead on Lucas Glover. Mike Weir is another stroke back.
Play resumed at noon, pushed back nearly five hours because of more overnight rain. Once the third round is complete, the 60 players who made the cut will be re-paired, with four-round play expected to start perhaps by 6 p.m. Assuming, of course, that there's no more weather delays.
