Shane Lowry is in the lead at the 2016 U.S. Open after Saturday's marathon session that saw players finish their second rounds early and start their third rounds late in the afternoon.

Andrew Landry, who sits alone in second place at three under par, might be an even bigger shock. The Texas native made just four of 11 cuts in PGA Tour events prior to the U.S. Open. 

There's also this little tidbit about Landry, per Golf Channel:



This has been one of the most unusual and unpredictable events in a long time, so a potential final pairing of Lowry and Landry would be par for the course.
