The Country Club did no favors to the golfers on Saturday, but the reigning champion emerged. Following a strong finish, the defending U.S. Open champion ...

He enters Sunday at -2 and firmly in the mix for his second major. It was an up and down round for Rahm, who finished in poor form with a double bogey on 18. Following a strong finish, the defending U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm found himself in the mix, but a brutal final hole that finished with a double bogey has him down one stroke to Will Zalatoris and Matthew Fitzpatrick after 54 holes.

Defending champion Jon Rahm made a double bogey on the 18th hole to hand Matt Fitzpatrick and Will Zalatoris the 54-hole lead at the US Open.

Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick have not only combined for zero major wins but also zero PGA Tour event trophies. Rahm is thunderous, and they will surely ...

I felt like I did well to get it in under par for the tournament at the end of the day." That was a moment I'll never forget the rest of my life, and I appreciate the fans giving me that, and I hope to have them cheer again [Sunday]." It wouldn't be shocking if he won on Sunday, but it would be a bit of a surprise. "Even though it was such a tough day and feel like I battled well," said McIlroy. "To still only be three back going into [Sunday] I feel is a good thing for me. Fitzpatrick is leading the field in strokes gained tee to green and has essentially been a field average putter. He made a 9-footer on No. 15 and a 11-footer on No. 17, both for par. 3. Scottie Scheffler (-2, two back): The Masters champion had a wild Saturday. He holed out for eagle on the par-5 eighth to lead by two but ended the day trailing by two. I thought Rahm's birdie on No. 17 to get to 5 under in Round 3 was the beginning of the end of this tournament. Zalatoris has as many top 10s at majors since the start of 2021 as current top 10 players in the world Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Viktor Hovland, Sam Burns and Cameron Smith combined, so he's no stranger to this stratosphere. Though the statistical profiles of both Zalatoris and Fitzpatrick are better indicators of a champion, Rahm is a compelling champion who has the look of a man hell bent on joining Ben Hogan, Curtis Strange and Brooks Koepka as the only back-to-back champions at the U.S. Open since World War II. The 122nd U.S. Open is going the distance, and we won't be able to crown a champion early. It is the important thing, and who sits ahead of Rahm matters as well.

From Will Zalatoris charging to Jon Rahm slipping and Scottie Scheffler almost imploding, it was a wild third round at the 2022 U.S. Open.

And with Scheffler only two shots off the lead, and McIlroy, the 2011 U.S. Open winner just three shots back, it should be a great finish Sunday at The Country Club. Brooks Koepka is the most-recent winner of consecutive U.S. Opens, winning in 2017 at Erin hills and at Shinnecock Hills in 2018. Rahm won the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, and he made birdies on 14, 15, and 17 to reach 5 under Saturday evening. “I think the U.S. Open is very taxing, mentally and physically,” Scheffler said. Rahm’s third shot landed in the massive bunker that guards the front of the green. As well as Zalatoris and Fitzpatrick played Saturday, neither has ever won a PGA Tour event or a major, so they might shoot a great score, but they could succumb to the pressure. Zalatoris putted well at the PGA Championship and nearly won, and on Saturday he rolled in birdie putts from 39 feet, 15 feet and 20 feet away from the hole. I mean, we didn’t aim at a single flag even with some wedges just because you really only have a foot or two to deal with on these greens in some situations,” Zalatoris said. Compared to other golf courses we play on tour, it certainly gives that to me, and that’s why I like it.” With just 18 holes left to be played, two young players who are becoming consistent contenders in major championships, Will Zalatoris and Matthew Fitzpatrick, find themselves tied at the top at 4 under par. He also made par-saving putts from 10 feet on the 10th and 12th holes. Twenty-three players started the day below par, but when the final scorecards were signed, only nine remained in red figures heading into Sunday.

Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick will share the lead heading into the final day of the U.S. Open after defending champion Jon Rahm made double bogey on ...

Erin Hills in Wisconsin is where a record seven players finished the U.S. Open at 10 under or better. That means only eight shots separate the leaders from last place with 36 holes to go. Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth started seven shots behind and bogeyed his opening hole. One advantage to making the cut is they can advance straight to final qualifying next year. One is Sam Stevens. He’s 1 under through six holes — 2 over for the championship — and is part of a small group at Brookline that worked the hardest to get here. Zalatoris is looking for his first major championship. Co-leaders Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen don’t tee off until 3:45 p.m. They were minus-5 through 36 holes. He briefly held a two-stroke lead before 36-hole co-leader Collin Morikawa birdied No. 5 to move to minus 5. His chip shot didn’t quite make it to the green; his next one went 25 feet past the hole and he two-putted for double bogey. Zalatoris shot 3-under 67 and finished the day at 4-under 206. The double-bogey gave him a 1-over 7. Rahm was leading by one heading into 18, but drove into a fairway bunker, and could not clear the lip on his next shot.

The defending champion appeared poised to grab the 54-hole lead at the U.S. Open before he made a mess of the closing hole. His double-bogey 6 put him in solo ...
