The Latest: Lowry's lead down to 2 shots at US Open (The Associated Press)

OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) -- The latest from the U.S. Open golf championship (all times local):

8:10 a.m.

Shane Lowry is pulling away at the U.S. Open.

The 29-year-old Irishman made a pair of birdies early Sunday morning to polish off a round of 5-under 65 at Oakmont to move him within 18 holes of his first major title. Lowry is a 7 under through three rounds at Oakmont, four shots clear of Dustin Johnson and five up on Lee Westwood, Daniel Summerhays and Andrew Landry.

Lowry was up by three when play resumed Sunday morning and wasted little time adding to his advantage.
