BROOKLINE, Mass. : U.S. Open co-leaders Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen began their third round on Saturday at The Country Club outside Boston where whipping winds have so far made for tough scoring conditions.
By the time the co-leaders set off in the final pairing at the par-four first hole, only nine of the 46 golfers on the course were under par on the day as the layout was playing the toughest it has all week. Dahmen, a 34-year-old qualifier playing in his third U.S. Open and ninth career major, is one of three players in the field to card multiple scores of 68 or better on the par-70 layout in Brookline.
Rahm went off in the penultimate group alongside Hayden Buckley and are playing behind the pairing of Northern Irishman McIlroy, who bogeyed the par-three second, and Aaron Wise.
