Golf: It's anyones to win at the US Open, as the top of the leaderboard is only separated by the narrowest of margins.
Action heating up in round three | 01:07Bryson DeChambeau has a one-stroke lead over Rory McIlroy in what shapes as a thrilling race to the finish in Monday’s final round of the 124th US Open at Pinehurst.
DeChambeau showed no signs of wilting under the pressure, opening his final round with back-to-back pars, although there were a few shaky moments as he first failed to find the green at the second on his approach and also misjudged a shot on the fourth. DeChambeau though also missed a big opportunity to extend his lead at the par-four seventh and then looked to be in trouble at the eighth as his drive veered to the right.
It came after McIlroy birdied to move one shot off the lead and the Irishman then drew level with DeChambeau at six-under after making a 27-foot put. But he could match the record of eight consecutive major rounds at 69 or lower by breaking par on Sunday, tying Greg Norman from 1993 and Rickie Fowler from 2014.
Cantlay edged McIlroy in a Saturday match and Cantlay’s caddie, Joe LaCava, celebrated to a point on the 18th green that McIlroy felt infringed upon him. They had words on the green and a confrontation in the parking lot.McIlroy appeared to put any ill feelings at rest, however, shaking hands with LaCava and fist-bumping Cantlay on the first tee before they began.
