The Englishman’s seven under round got him to +2 for the tournament and may well be enough to win the title.
He is leader in the clubhouse and, as things stand, one behind the leaders, who still have the whole of the back nine to play.
The Southport man becomes just the sixth man to shoot 63 in a US Open after Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Tom Weiskopf, Vijay Singh and Justin Thomas.
