Sam Burns burn only one Sogi Omont courses twice on Saturday and grabbed his nerve from within 60 feet on the last hole for 1-under 69, which made him a round from a US Open title and no margin for error.
Burns, who has never struggled in his 20 previous major, takes the next time the most golf testing with Adam Scott, with a 44 -year -old Australian and a major win experience with the same player from the same player.
Scott, who was the lonely major 12 years ago in the Masters, had not made a mistake since a soft bogie on the initial hole and looked very short with a stretch with a luxurious iron game compared to his 44 years and with enough puts for 67, left a shot behind.
It was shaping to finish a wild chase, with only four players equal. It begins with burn on 4-inner 206. He has five PGA Tour titles, which is more than the last one or two years. He is coming to the Canadian Open from a playoff necklace last week.
JJ Spon, who lost in a playoff at the Players Championships in March, maintained synergy with Burns in nine until the end, when he could not save a bunker equal and shot 69. He joined a shot with Scott.
“It seemed that we were like forward and back,” Spon said. “He would take the edge, I would take the edge, I would fall back, whatever it was.
The other survivors were Victor Hoveland for equal, who have been smiling as much to anyone on a course which was liking so many people throughout the week. Hoveland shot a bogie in bushes with an inaugural tea shot and shot a good shooting car.
“He was closed with a bogie from a rain -soaked rough for a 70 on the 18th and was three behind.
“I know well that I have got a chance tomorrow, and if I shoot a short round of golf tomorrow, anything can happen,” said Hoveland. “On there [are] Many good players around me. Adam Scott played a brilliant round today, just not really really missing a shot. This forces me to play some very good golf tomorrow. ,
Carlos Ortis converted to one of the most notable performances by going to bogie-free for 30 consecutive holes. The streak ended on 18th, but was still 67 in Mexican and also had high in 210 Samams.
Mix was the missing scooty chefler, the world’s number 1 player, who won three of their last four tournaments at the US Open. The chefler never found any speed, in which a significant stretch was coming just before the turn.
After piercing a 20-foot shovedy put on the sixth, the chefler saved equally after driving in the rough at number 7 and hitting the nail for 3 feet or the other. But then for a long time it seemed like a tap -in -3 -3 eighth turned into a shocking miss.
He was injured with 70, from the tie from the 23rd to the tie to the top 10.
“I put myself in this position,” the sheffer said. “This is not the situation in which I want to be, but I have done a good job of hanging there and living in the tournament.”
The best news about this US Open was that it ended the third round without weather on the way. Okmont received an inch of rain on playing on Friday evening. The USGA offered the spectators to return the ticket, who did not want to trip through the silent.
Divots taken from Fairways looked like a pelt, and greens were quite soft and more receptive. There was a spell midway through the round when the umbrella was out and the sun was shining.
Everyone was together, who was trying hard and greens to escape in some way or the other, which never felt to lose its speed.

Burns, a 28 -year -old from Louisiana, had monitored someone set to add to a list of young Americans ready to catch a chief. He took the most unusual passage on the hard third hole above the church pu bunkers and the fourth fair on the fourth fairway, allowing them to avoid a blind shot.
He picked up the Burdies to a back pin at number 5 with a wedge from the fair and shot a tea shot to 7 feet on par-3 13th. Three times they were equally important, he saved the fairway equally after getting out of the situation out of the T.
Then the closing stretch came. He held a veg, which moved towards a back pin and checked a leg at a short para-4 17th, and he caught a break on 18th when rough drive caught a good lie-a rareness in Okkamont-allowed to reach a green back about 60 feet away from 60 feet away. He gently took one last equal equal and the put down to 4 feet for the lead.
