Lee Westwood picked a very good time to start throwing darts at the pin. Birdies can be hard to come by at Oakmont with the greens very difficult to putt. Westwood saved himself the hassle and instead just made an eagle from the fairway.

That moved Westwood from 1-under to 3-under and it came just moments after Dustin Johnson made a double bogey to drop from 5-under to 3-under. Westwood is now one of three players tied for a lead. A few more hole outs and this might finally be his time to capture the first major of his career.
