FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (Reuters) - Jazz Janewattananond thought he would struggle to break 80 at Bethpage Black when he saw the course on Monday but has exceeded expectations with three rounds no worse than par that has lifted him into a tie for second behind runaway leader Brooks Koepka.

In his second major appearance after last year's British Open, the 23-year-old Thai gave the galleries something to enjoy in a fearless display of aggression with a violent swing and ignoring of the punishing rough waiting to gobble up wayward shots.
