Those wanting to watch Rory McIlroy in action at the US Open on Saturday have a very late night ahead of them.
The Holywood man is not scheduled to start his third round in Los Angeles until 11.29pm Irish time and will play alongside American Xander Schauffele.
Shane Lowry is out much earlier than his Tokyo Olympics teammate, with his round scheduled to start at 5.55pm as he plays alongside his good friend Tommy Fleetwood.

A flying finish from McIlroy on Friday left him just two shots off the halfway lead in the 123rd US Open.
McIlroy covered his last nine holes in five under par to card a second round of 67 at Los Angeles Country Club, where Rickie Fowler set the pace after a rollercoaster 68.
Fowler, whose opening 62 equalled the lowest score in any men’s major, made eight birdies, six bogeys and just four pars to post a 10-under-par halfway total of 130, equalling the lowest in a US Open set by Martin Kaymer in 2014.
Fowler’s 18 birdies over the first two days are also the most in championship history and kept the 34-year-old in pole position to claim a first major title.
McIlroy is seeking his fifth and a first since the US PGA Championship in August 2014, a month after he had won the Open at Royal Liverpool
