    A double bogey six for Brian Campbell at the seventh leaves him two under with three to play. With that, it looks like the leaders are secure: Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson at five under.

    With that we bid you adieu. It has been a tough day for most, notably Tiger, but this is what major golf is all about. We'll be back to watch all the quality and chaos unfold again from 19:00 BST.

    The Tiger, Fowler, Oosthuizen have taken a battering this round. Woods brings an end to what has been a painful round with a bogey. He ends 10 over with his third successive round in the 80s. It is also his worst ever round at the US Open.

    Rickie fares even worse, but a par on the last means he finishes 11 over, with Louis recording the best score of seven over.

    All three share a laugh at the end but inside they will all be hurting.

    Tiger's fourth gets him to the green but he still has a long putt to save par up a ridge on the 18th green. All the attention remains on Woods but Fowler has had a worse day. Five bogeys on the back nine means he is currently 11 over and looking like he is going to drop further shots on the last.

    There are nine steps leading down into the bunker Tiger has limped into, such is the depth. They might as well install an escalator. He disappears from view as he solemnly makes his way down to half-heartedly chip out to the fairway. He is a broken man.

    Rose ends with a bogey to drop to two over. Day and Spieth finish with pars to both end on two under.

    Tiger is ending with an absolute whimper. He tries to blast his second on the 18th but tops it to send the ball dribbling into the deep fairway bunker. That will take some shifting. He bows his head. He just wants this to be over now. We all do.

    Amateur Brian Campbell is writing a great little story for himself in this opening round. He moves to four under with a birdie six. He is tied for third with three to play.

    After a good start, England's Danny Willett faded and ended his round two over, with two double bogeys costing him on his back nine. Not a bad score. There are a lot of players who would gladly take it.

    Tiger makes par at 17. He is salvaging a small amount of pride now at the end of his round. He even affords himself a smile and a joke with Louis Oosthuizen.

    Woods has to send his putt over the ridge at the 17th green but he doesn't put enough on it and ends up five feet short. Spieth is out of the sand with his second at 18 and gets lucky as his shot skips just past a very deep, very ugly fairway bunker. Day also has to hit out of the sand at 18 and lands his ball right next to Spieth's.

    Lifted by his birdie on the 16th, Tiger finds the ground to the left of the 17th green. Meanwhile, Spieth finds the bunker on the par-five 18th.

    Day fails to get down in two and drops a shot at 17. Spieth makes a par to stay two under, as does Rose to stay evens.

    After 15 painful holes, Tiger finally has a birdie at 16, sinking his short-putt second to move back into single figures at nine-over. No such lift for Fowler who bogeys to go 10 over.

    What a shot from Justin Rose. He is deep, deep in sand but digs down and finds a subtle chip out to within a few feet. It is absolutely brilliant.

    We have a clash of balls at 17 as Jordan Spieth's drive to the left of the hole bounces once before crashing into the ball of Jason Day. It has been a popular spot for players on this hole, especially with the bunker that juts into front of the green near the flag. Justin Rose opts for a different line but duffs his iron into a bunker short of the green.

    Martin Cee, London: If Woods had anything like self-respect or self-awareness he would retire. Both his game and his confidence are gone. But as long as there are sponsors and appearance money he will continue to embarrass himself and stain his reputation for money.

    Tiger is battered and bruised but pulls out another subtle stroke to chip to four feet short of the the hole at 16. Fowler looks to follow him but lands a yard further back and is punished with the ball rolling back down the slope and away. These two will have some war stories to tell each other after this round.

    Spieth sinks a seven footer to save par and remain two under. Day is a foot closer and nails it for a birdie to go three under. Rose has three feet to deal with and makes no mistake. He is even par.

    Justin Rose is out of the sand and on the green at 16 courtesy of a superb second. Jason Day is chipping from turf, though, and plants his ball about 10 feet away. Jordan Spieth has a brutal putt to contest with, sending the ball dipping, ducking, skipping and rising like the mine cart in Temple of Doom. He still has work to do to get a par. Day could grab a birdie.

    Joost Luiten. We've not mentioned him yet. Well, the Dutchman is suddenly in the reckoning as a birdie at seven courtesy of drilled long putt takes him to two under through 16.

    Two bogeys in three holes (at three and five) has dropped Ben Martin from joint leader to joint fourth.

    Rose, Day and Spieth are on the 16th tee. Justin and Jordan hit bunkers and Jason initially waits for a train before realising how long it is and driving straight down the fairway.

    Tiger's birdie chance at 15 stays out, stopping just a quarter-roll shy of the hole. Agonising. Uncomfortable. Painful. And that's just watching.

    Tiger bounces back from a horror hole with an absolute belter of a tee shot to land his ball on the 15th green and about five feet from the hole. It is good birdie chance. Not a flicker of a smile from the American, though.
