Halfway leader Rickie Fowler looked set to maintain his overnight advantage until three-putting the 18th.
RICKIE FOWLER AND Wyndham Clark will take a share of the lead into the final round of the 123rd US Open, with Rory McIlroy just a shot behind at Los Angeles Country Club.
World number one Scottie Scheffler finished eagle, birdie to card a second consecutive 68 and lie three shots off the lead. “I felt like I played smart solid golf. It felt somewhat stress-free, if you can ever call golf at a US Open stress-free, but overall pretty pleased with how today went. I feel like I’m in a good spot going into tomorrow.”Asked about using his experience of previous major wins on Sunday, McIlroy added: “It’s been such a long time since I’ve done it and I’m going out there to try to execute a game plan.
Scheffler, who has struggled with his putting recently, also birdied the 18th to complete a second consecutive 68 and close to within four of Fowler’s lead. “We could not see the ball go in , but there was a nice crowd there on the grandstand behind the green.
