Bryson DeChambeau carries a three-shot lead into the final round of the U.S. Open, while a triple bogey essentially knocks Utahn Tony Finau out of contention.
Bryson DeChambeau celebrates after a birdie on the 11th hole during the third round of the U.S. Open golf tournament Saturday, June 15, 2024, in Pinehurst, N.C. DeChambeau opened up a commanding lead during the third round at Pinehurst No. 2 on Saturday, shooting a 3-under 67 to get to 7-under-par for the week. He is three shots ahead of Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay and Matthieu Pavon, who are all 4-under-par.
But like most things with DeChambeau, Saturday was not without its twists and turns. He’s apparently working through a right hip injury. It had not to that point affected his play — DeChambeau hit his drive on No. 8 375 yards, parred the par-3 ninth and then made a birdie on No. 10 to rise to the solo lead at 6-under-par. He continued to build on the lead with a birdie on No. 14.
The scene harkened back to Scottie Scheffler at March’s Players Championship when he dealt with a neck issue during a round and had to receive treatments for it during play.
