The 122nd US Open Championship, The Country Club, Brookline, MA: 16-19 June 2022
Round Three: Zalatoris & Fitzpatrick share the lead
From PGA TOUR Daily Wrap-up, by The AP:
BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick avoided the carnage and calamity that took down golf's best Saturday at a U.S. Open that set the tone for a final day of survival.
Zalatoris, who lost in a three-hole playoff at the PGA Championship last month, made only one bogey — a staggering feat on a beast of a Brookline course — for a 3-under 67. Read more
From ESPN:
Eight players spent time atop the leaderboard, all of them getting kicked around -- some worse than others -- on a U.S. Open course that felt every bit like the toughest test in golf on a cool, windy afternoon at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Saturday was a classic U.S. Open, all about survival.
Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick kept the damage to a bare minimum, giving them another crack at a major championship that is 18 holes away and feels so much longer. Read more
From DP World Tour, Day Three Digest:
Fitzpatrick remained on course for a fairy-tale Brookline double while defending champion Rahm kept his hopes very much alive on day three of the 2022 U.S. Open Championship.
Min Woo Lee found himself in a difficult spot at the edge of the tenth green but he somehow chipped in for a bonus birdie. Just listen to the roar as the ball crept into the hole...
Not only does Matt Fitzpatrick possess a share of the lead heading into the final round but he also has experience of winning at Brookline. Read more
From ABC.net.au:
Two weeks after his sister Minjee Lee won the US Women's Open at Pine Needles, Min Woo Lee emerged as the leading Australian at the men's edition in Massachusetts.
However, the 24-year-old has little hope of pulling off a unique family double after a fine third-round of 1-under-par 69 left Lee on 2-over, six shots off the pace.
On a day where most players went backwards at Brookline, Min Woo Lee was one of just seven players to finish under par for the third round. Read more
From Independent.ie, by Brian Keogh:
Rory McIlroy could not win the US Open yesterday but he didn’t lose it as he produced a sensational short game display down the stretch and battled his way to a three-over 73 that left him just three shots behind Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick at The Country Club. Read more
