A 3-under 67 put Bryson DeChambeau at 7-under for the U.S. Open, and he owns a three-stroke lead heading into the final round at Pinehurst No. 2.
Saturday was moving day at Pinehurst No. 2, and Bryson DeChambeau moved. A lot. The scores again remained low at the U.S. Open, but DeChambeau, already in the final group of the day, separated himself from a crowded leaderboard with a dominant back nine in round three. At one point, there was a four-way tie for first place at 5-under. After bogeying the fourth hole, DeChambeau birdied two of his next three to shoot a 1-under 34 on the front nine.
costly double-bogey on 16 shrunk his lead to two, but he promptly answered back with a birdie on the par-3 17th, and a tap-in par on 18 put him at a 3-under 67 for the round and 7-under for the tournament. Ludvig Aberg was in prime position all weekend, playing with DeChambeau in Saturday's final grouping. But a triple-bogey on the driveable par-4 13th dropped him five strokes back of DeChambeau, who caught fire. Aberg is 2-under for the tournament heading into Sunday.
He would be the second player to win a major since defecting to LIV Golf, joining rival Brooks Koepka, who won last year's PGA Championship for his fifth major. DeChambeau won the 2020 U.S. Open, his first and only major, at Winged Foot.
