It all comes down to this.

It’s the final round at the 120th U.S. Open at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York.

After a stunning 5-under 65, rising star Matthew Wolff holds a two-shot lead at 5 under over Bryson DeChambeau at 3 under. If Wolff were to win, he’d become the seventh-youngest champion in U.S. Open history. Louis Oosthuizen is in third at 1 under followed by Hideki Matsuyama, Xander Schauffele and Harris English all T-4 at even par.

U.S. Open: The conditions were right for a late charge at Winged Foot

Winged Foot rough was measuring at least 6 inches and has not been cut since the U.S. Open began. It’s longer around many of the greens.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. – A cool wind blew across Winged Foot until the players on the first page of the leaderboard began walking from the practice area to the first tee.

It made all the difference.

There were birdies to be made before lunch, but they were harder to come by. Conditions were on par with Friday, with firm and fast greens. Very few players survived the first five holes without a bogey.

Or two. Or three.

Paul Casey made five bogeys in the first seven holes, then rebounded with six birdies in the last 11 holes as temperatures warmed.

“In all honesty I kind of wanted to walk in after the first five, six, seven holes,” he said. “It was just ugly. In fairness, it was incredibly difficult out there. It was windy this morning. It was cold. Those first few holes with the wind straight into your face on holes 1, 2 and 3 are just very, very difficult.”

Casey’s 1-under 69 got him back to 5 over.

Not every pin was tucked away in a corner.

The rough was measuring at least 6 inches and has not been cut since the championship began. It’s longer around many of the greens. The putting surfaces were again firm and clocking a solid 13 on the Stimpmeter at the start of the day.

Danny Lee had an episode on the 18th green, six-putting from inside four feet. He walked off with a quintuple bogey and promptly withdrew from the U.S. Open, citing a wrist injury.

That is by far the nightmare moment of the championship.

“I think anything under par on this golf course today is a really good score,” said Rory McIlroy, who made up ground with a 2-under 68. “I saw Alex (Noren) go out there and shoot 3-under earlier. You know, I’m not saying it’s out there. He got a good one, I did, and there’s maybe a couple other guys that are under par. The wind is not quite as strong as it was yesterday. You know, it maybe played a touch less difficult I’ll say. Not easier, but it was a little less difficult.”

The gusts did occasionally inspire debates about club selection.

Winged Foot played to a stroke average of 72.6 on Thursday, the lowest ever here in U.S. Open play. The number climbed to 75.3 on Friday. It slipped somewhere in the middle on Saturday.

“It feels like I should be tailgating right now,” Zach Johnson said of the crisp, fall-like temperatures after he signed for a 68 that got him back to 2-over for the championship. “Thursday conditions were as easy as they could be. That’s was the easiest Winged Foot U.S. Open you’re ever going to see. And today, this morning was not easy, I gather that, but the wind kind of calmed down. We actually had stretches where there was none, so you could get at it.”

McIlroy expects Sunday to be difficult no matter the weather and is confident a challenge is possible from as many as six shots back at the start of the final round.

“You’re going to have stretches in U.S. Opens where you’re going to make bogeys and you’re going to make mistakes, but if you can back it up with stretches of golf like I showed there, that’s what you have to do,” he said. “It’s not going to be all plain sailing in this tournament.”

What just happened? Danny Lee six-putts 18th green, withdraws from U.S. Open

Danny Lee has withdrawn from the U.S. Open, and it wasn’t a particularly pretty end at Winged Foot Golf Club.

Danny Lee has withdrawn from the U.S. Open, and it wasn’t a particularly pretty end at Winged Foot Golf Club.

Lee, the 30-year-old from New Zealand, managed to hold it together moderately well through the start of the day. He was 3 over through five holes but logged his first birdie at No. 7. Bogeys followed at Nos. 10 and 14, then a final birdie at No. 17.

Lee’s performance on the par-4 18th is where it gets wacky. Try to make sense of the quintuple bogey posted on live scoring, and it’s just a jumble of putts. Lee was aboard the green in three shots, but it took six more to get it down. After the initial four-footer for par, he had putts from six feet, six feet, seven feet, four feet and seven feet. That closed out a third-round 78.

No camera footage apparently exists of the Lee debacle, but Saturday’s hole location – just four paces from the left side of the green – might help explain the frustration.

Marshals described the situation using the term “whack-a-mole,” according to Golf Digest. Lee did not head to the flash area for an interview after the round.

Shortly after the third round, Lee withdrew from the tournament, citing a wrist injury. He was 13 over for the week.

U.S. Open: Amidst the carnage, Alex Noren solves ‘tricked up’ Winged Foot with 67

After a 4-over 74 on Friday, Alex Noren rebounded with a 3-under 67 to make the cut at the 2020 U.S. Open. He’ll enter Sunday at 3-over par.

After a 4-over-par 74 on Friday, Alex Noren made the U.S. Open cut on the number. He was an “angry man on the golf course,” he said, and focused on finding some peace when he teed off in less than ideal conditions Saturday.

Noren seemed to find some calm — and just as frustrated players around him struggled just to make pars. The 38-year-old Swede posted a 3-under 67 early in a blustery third round at Winged Foot Golf Club.

He’ll enter Sunday at 3 over for the tournament.

“Starting out, it felt like it was going to be the toughest day ever on a golf course, with pretty strong winds on the first like six, seven holes,” Noren said. “Then it got a little bit easier, but the pins are still tricked up. I putted my life out.”

Noren was the only player under par for much of the morning Saturday with the wind gusting and temperatures starting in the 40s.

U.S. OPEN: Winged Foot gets thumbs up from players who missed cut

The first five holes greeted most of the early part of the field with instant carnage, but Noren played the stretch in even-par. He nearly drove the sixth and made a 19-footer for birdie, then followed with another birdie at 7 to help make the turn in 34.

After some scrambling, Noren added a 14-footer for birdie at No. 15, then finished his round by hitting his approach shot to three feet at the difficult 18th.

All told, Noren somehow had just one bogey on his card despite hitting four fairways and nine greens all round. He knew exactly what to credit for making the best of it.

“On the back, my putter was the best it’s ever been,” he said. “So I saved myself a lot of times, and then (had) a couple birdies as well.”

Noren wasn’t sure the 67 will vault him into contention, but he cautioned that Winged Foot doesn’t allow players to get away with mediocre shots.

“Yeah, (this is) the hardest course I’ve ever played,” he said. “Yesterday was some wind and this morning was some wind, but without the wind it’s still so demanding. It’s a good test.”

U.S. Open: Winged Foot gets a thumbs up from players who missed the cut

There were no complaints from a trio of players who left Winged Foot after missing the U.S. Open cut.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. – There were no complaints from a trio of players who left Winged Foot after missing the U.S. Open cut.

They were actually quite complimentary on social media Saturday despite collecting the lion’s share of 1,383 bogeys, 179 doubles and 19 others. Most failed to capitalize when the famed West Course was vulnerable in the opening round and struggled mightily with the wind and the rough and the pins and the greens in the second round.

Eddie Pepperell checked out with a 14-over total of 154, but was ready to go again.

“Upon reflection, and despite playing like a right doughnut, I would do it all again at Winged Foot,” the 29-year-old Englishman tweeted. “It’s simply an awesome golf course. Can’t think of a course that tests you in so many ways. Thanks @USGA for humbling me at the same time as invigorating me.”

The cut was 6-over, three strokes lower than it was in 2006 when the U.S. Open was last played at Winged Foot.

Receptive greens and welcoming pins in Round 1 accounted for the difference.

Phil Mickelson did not look comfortable for one minute at Winged Foot, not even on the driving range. He again took a scenic route carding rounds of 79 and 74, and was up early on Saturday hawking a line of coffee released this week.

“After being beaten up and battered by Winged Foot, it’s nice to find out @ForWellness doesn’t just help my mind and body, it comforts my ego and soothes my hurt soul,” Mickelson tweeted along with a bed-head photo.

To kill time on his flight home, Max Homa solicited questions and was promptly asked what non-golf activity equates to playing Winged Foot.

“Playing Winged Foot is like going for a run,” he tweeted after is 14-over performance. “Ur optimistic to start, ur almost immediately pissed off, there’s a lot of heavy breathing, the views are great, ur wondering why u did this to urself, there’s some self-hate involved, finishing is euphoric, ur gunna do it again.”

Patrick Cantlay hits flagstick, ball rolls further away off green at U.S. Open

Patrick Cantlay had some pretty bad luck on Saturday during the third round of the 120th U.S. Open.

Golf is a brutal game. Especially during a U.S. Open at the famed Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York.

But what did Patrick Cantlay do to deserve this?

During Saturday morning’s third round, the 28-year-old had a pitch shot to get on the green from just outside 20 yards. Cantlay, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour in search of his first major title, hit the flagstick and his ball took a massive kick right back at him, rolling down the slope a good 20 yards behind the spot from which he had hit his previous shot.

This is one of those shots you just have to see to believe.

U.S. Open: Leaderboard | Best photos

Cantlay proceded to get up-and-down for bogey, ultimately signing for a second consecutive 6-over 76 to walk off the course 12 over, 16 shots behind leader Patrick Reed who had yet to tee off.

Last am standing: John Pak will be the only amateur to play the weekend at U.S. Open

John Pak will enter the third round of the U.S. Open nine shots off the lead, but he’ll be the only amateur to play the weekend.

John Pak didn’t make a birdie on Friday at Winged Foot, but he managed to keep the big numbers to a minimum, too. Often at the U.S. Open, there is an amateur in the mix. Pak will be that man at Winged Foot as he enters the third round nine shots off the lead and as the only amateur on the weekend tee sheet.

Low-amateur honors are assured at this point, and that’s significant considering Pak’s regional roots.

The Scotch Plains, New Jersey native, a senior at Florida State, was the only Metropolitan New York-area player to make the cut this week. Brandon Wu, of Scarsdale, New York, and Fresh Meadow Country Club professional Danny Balinof White Plains, New York, each posted 10-over 150 and failed to make the weekend after hitting the opening tee shots on Thursday.

Pak, who had rounds of 69-76, was one of 13 amateurs to start the week at Winged Foot. Eight of those players are current collegians. There were some big names among that group, too.

Davis Thompson, a University of Georgia player, made headlines with a fast start that included three bogeys on his opening nine on Thursday. He briefly had the lead and finished with a 1-under 69, but a follow-up 78 left him at 7 over, one shot outside the cutline.

“It was awesome,” Thompson said of his first U.S. Open start. “I just got off to a bad start today, and I never really got it back today. It was just awesome. Winged Foot is such a historic place, and to have my first U.S. Open here is really special.

The world’s top-ranked amateur, Takumi Kanaya, also finished at 7 over, one outside the cut, after rounds of 72-75.

Andy Ogletree, the 2019 U.S. Amateur champion, was 8 over while 2019 U.S. Junior Amateur champion Preston Summerhays was 9 over.

Arizona State’s Chun An Yu, the No. 3-ranked amateur in the world, was inside the cutline for much of Friday but struggled to get in the clubhouse. After playing the front nine in 2 over, Yu went 7 over from Nos. 13-17 and closed with an 80 that effectively ended his week.

2020 US Open Round 3 betting picks – Contender

Rory McIlroy (+3300)

McIlroy’s still very much in this tournament despite sitting T-22 at 3 over after a second round of 6-over 76. He ranks second in the field for the tournament with 1.71 SG: Off-the-Tee and has corrected the putting struggles that had plagued him since the PGA Tour’s return in mid-June.

It was his 2.54 strokes lost around the green that cost him in Round 2. He ranked just 63rd on Tour in that metric in the 2019-20 season but averaged 0.108 strokes gained per round.

His odds are vastly inflated from his pre-tournament number and the No. 2 golfer in the world is worth a shot.

2020 U.S. Open Round 3 betting picks – Long shot

Will Zalatoris (+30000)

Zalatoris entered the week of the U.S. Open 10th in the Golfweek rankings, even though he hadn’t played a PGA Tour event since the 2018 Wyndham Championship.

A star on the Korn Ferry Tour, he’s poised to make a charge up the leaderboard on moving day. He’s third in the field through 36 holes in SG: Off-the-Tee and 11th in SG: Tee-to-Green, but is averaging 1.13 strokes lost putting per round.

The greens will continue to get tougher through the weekend, but it will help create a more level playing field. He’s worth a small wager with a $10 bet returning a profit of $3,000 while sitting eight strokes off the lead.

Patrick Reed holds it together, leads U.S. Open after colorful day at Winged Foot

Patrick Reed’s second-round scorecard at Winged Foot was colorful, to say the least, but he managed to keep his grip on the U.S. Open lead.

Patrick Reed’s second-round scorecard at Winged Foot was colorful, to say the least. No one ever said the top spot on the U.S. Open leaderboard would come easily – or traditionally.

Reed made birdies in all the right places on Friday – including the difficult opening hole – but ultimately matched five birdies with five bogeys for an even-par 70. On the heels of his opening 66, it parked Reed, at 4 under, atop Bryson DeChambeau. The two will go off in the final group on Saturday afternoon.

“Any time you play in the U.S. Open you know that you’re going to have one of those days that things just aren’t quite going your way, whether it’s hitting quality golf shots or anything like that, and I felt like today was that day,” Reed said.

Despite feeling loose off the tee, and with a few iron shots here and there, Reed expressed a satisfaction with his second-round salvage job.

Asked where his confidence was, Reed said he felt good.

“I feel ready to go out and put myself in position hopefully tomorrow to have a chance late on Sunday. But I think that’s the biggest thing is I feel like the game is where it needs to be.”

On the topic of his upcoming pairing with DeChambeau, who has put together rounds of 69-68, Reed said he was looking forward to it. Winged Foot should be plenty distracting, and he’ll focus on attacking it on Saturday. Let up or get distracted with chitchat, he said, and “you’re going to make a mess of the golf course.”

“You don’t really hang out with the guys you’re playing with as much because you’re too busy trying to figure out where you’re trying to play this golf course and kind of put it together like a puzzle,” Reed said.

The two men are head-turning in different ways. DeChambeau sends it to the moon, as Reed says, while Reed plays it low. When the two played a practice round at Winged Foot together, Reed noted how differently they tackled the par-4 eighth. Reed was trying to cut it around a tree on the right. DeChambeau didn’t even have that tree in his sights.

“It just shows there’s so many different ways to play a golf course, there’s so many different ways to play the game of golf. He’s kind of showing one way, and I show another, and everyone is different.”
