Tom Kim started his third round at the U.S. open on record-setting pace before things unraveled a bit.
while looking for his ball at the PGA Championship last month, was on record-setting pace Saturday at the U.S. Open before things started to unravel.
Even so, Kim shot 4-under 66 and closed the day at 3-under 207. With the leaders on the front nine, the South Korean player was on the leaderboard, too — tied for 12th, 36 places better than where he started.Billed as the toughest test in golf, the U.S. Open is not normally a good place for big comebacks. Kim started the day 11 strokes out of the lead. But this course has now yielded four nine-hole scores of 30 along with Kim's 29.
"I'm thinking, ‘If I can keep this going, have a good finish, and if the leaders kind of stumble, I might have a chance to be really close up there on Sunday,’” he conceded. “But it was a really short thought because I still had the hardest part of the golf course right in front of me.” Of his three bogeys over his back-nine 37, none hurt more than the 4 he took on the 81-yard par-3 15th. His wedge shot got plugged in the bunker fronting the green.
