Westwood climbs into US Open top 10

Lee Westwood defied the rain and a bad draw to climb into the top 10 at the US Open on Saturday as PGA Tour rookie Ricky Barnes took the one-shot halfway lead at Bethpage Black and Tiger Woods made the cut.

There was less luck for a sizeable section of the European contingent as Padraig Harrington, Paul Casey and Luke Donald were among those sent packing with the cut line established at four over par.
