Offaly's Shane Lowry is proudly perched at the top of the US Open leaderboard with a two shot advantage.

The 29-year-old reached five under par after 14 holes at Oakmont before play was suspended due to darkness at 8:49pm local time.

First-round leader Andrew Landry was Lowry's closest challenger on three under with five holes to play, with Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia and Dustin Johnson all another shot back.

An upbeat Lowry said: "I've beaten a field of this quality already so there's no reason I can't do it again tomorrow. I feel very comfortable out there.

"I'm glad we didn't have to play another four holes as I was getting tired towards the end but I'm really looking forward to getting out there on Sunday. I've never been in this position but this is where you want to be."

Best wishes to @ShaneLowryGolf in the final round of US open #upoffaly
