This looks like a typical U.S. Open. Kaymer set the 36-hole scoring record at the U.S. Open on Friday with another 5-under 65 - this one without a single bogey - to build a six-shot lead over Brendon Todd and leave the rest of the field wondering if anyone had a chance to catch the 29-year-old German at Pinehurst No. 2. ''If you take Martin out of it,'' said defending champion Justin Rose, ''it's a great golf tournament.'' Kaymer was at 10-under 130, breaking by one shot the record set by Rory McIlroy at rain-softened Congressional in 2011. I watched some of the shots he hit and some of the putts he's made and he looks flawless.'' The six-shot lead after 36 holes tied the U.S. Open record first set by Tiger Woods at Pebble Beach in 2000 and matched by McIlroy at Congressional.
