Pin is on the left; you hit a little draw. Pin is on the right; you hit a little cut. “This is really cool, but it's really all for naught if you go lay and egg on the weekend,” said Dahmen, who owns one PGA Tour win since joining the circuit in 2016. But this week we're just going to work with what we have, and right now it's a little baby draw.” The Country Club isn’t a bombers’ paradise, however, and the Washington native has hit 28 of 36 greens to tie for first in the field. “This is just going to hopefully make my iron play and make my game a little bit more well-rounded rather than just hitting a cut.

The Open winner Collin Morikawa and fellow American Joel Dahmen lead a tightly contested US Open heading into the weekend at Brookline, Massachusetts.

The 2022 US Open enters the third round Saturday, with Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen sharing the top spot with...

1 in the world right now, having won four PGA TOUR events with eight top 10s and 13 top 25s across 18 starts. Another 18 holes could churn out a dramatically altered top-10 standing heading to the fourth and last round Sunday, so it’s really worth keeping a close eye on the action this Saturday. There is still a long way to go, with a bunch of elite pros hot on their heels, including the trio of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Jon Rahm, who have all cracked the top eight after the first couple of rounds.

For anyone that has followed Rory McIlroy closely for the past dozen (plus) years, they would surely agree with that statement.

"I think I ride waves of momentum pretty easily. I sort of said it after [winning in] Canada last week when I was with Justin Thomas and Tony Finau. "I certainly don't want it to be easy. The next nine holes saw Rory Mcilroy trading birdies with bogeys, and he sat at -1 with six to play. He was left with a 30-footer for double bogey but, crucially, he sank the putt to minimise a damaging hole. He found the cabbage with a wayward iron approach, then needed three attempts to escape and put the ball on the green.

After two rounds at The Country Club, Collin Morikawa, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Scottie Scheffler are all inside the top 10.

A beautiful drive down No. 12 that set up a great approach shot into the middle of the green. That one got the people going. A great wedge into 11, but missed the putt. Maybe it was the consistent threat of severe weather for most of the afternoon. The Northern Irishman found the fescue right of the 3rd green and took three tries to get it out. A monster drive down the par-5 14th that left him just 251 yards into the 616-yard monster.

Twice major champion Morikawa fired a four-under-par 66 that was the day's low round and left him at five under on the week at The Country Club outside ...

"It's kind of been a whirlwind really," said Dahmen. "I was trying to think back on the round today, and it's all kind of a blur really, which I think is probably a good thing." Dahmen, who considered skipping a recent U.S. Open qualifier so he could concentrate on upcoming PGA Tour events at which he figured he would fare better, missed a 10-foot birdie putt at the last that would have given him the solo lead. He now heads into the weekend with his eyes set on winning a major title for a third consecutive year after triumphs at the British Open (2021) and PGA Championship (2020). Dahmen, who considered skipping a recent U.S. Open qualifier so he could concentrate on upcoming PGA Tour events where he figured he would fare better, missed a 10-foot birdie putt at the last that would have given him the solo lead. "It's great for the game of golf that the highest-ranked players and the best players are up there, especially in the tournament where truly the best player ends up winning." "It's fun for all of us because we all want to compete against the best and beat the best, and it's obviously a lot more fun for watching," said Rahm.

It's going to tell us what the leaders can expect when they hit the course mid-afternoon. As Will Knight explained in The Fried Egg's excellent newsletter: So it's time to turn things up a notch. They have all the ingredients necessary for a tough, memorable U.S. Open weekend. With conditions firming up, he's probably playing for a top 20 more than he is looking to hoist a trophy Sunday afternoon. Below is a full list of payouts by place. He pulled back the wedge and tried again. His spiel on patience didn’t feel like an explanation to us, as much as it did a reminder to himself. Even to the quasi-believers. Please someone talk to him after this round and let us know what he thinks about The Country Club setup. It's the entire point. It's a thing.

Waterford's Seamus Power will play with US PGA champion Justin Thomas.

The other Irish man to make the cut at the season's third major, Seamus Power, is playing with major winner Justin Thomas and hits his first shot at 5.55pm.

7:53 p.m.: Jon Rahm made double bogey on the final hole to shoot 71 and fall out of the lead and one shot behind Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick. It was his ...

On Thursday and Friday with a helping breeze, guys were knocking it on with 3-woods, but today it'll be a full driver for most with the wind coming in and off the left. 1:51 p.m.: Jordan Spieth rolls in a lengthy birdie putt on the short par-3 11th to get to two over. 3:05 p.m.: Hello, Joohyung Kim. The South Korean follows an eagle at the fifth (the first of the week) with a par on six and a smoothly-walked-in birdie att the seventh. With the face of his wedge pointed to the sky, Vick cuts the legs off a dainty little flop shot that cozies right up to the edge of the hole. After a lengthy discussion with his caddie, the defending champion hits a beauty of a nine iron into the first leaving a makeable birdie putt to tie the lead right out of the gate. But he made birdie on the 17th hole, then made a par save from 15 feet on the last hole and he shoots 71 to sit only two shots behind the leaders. After a sluggish start that included three bogeys in his first six holes, McIlroy sinks his first birdie putt of the day on No. 11 to move to two under, a mere two shots behind Zalatoris. Speaking of the leader, Zalatoris pushed his tee shot way right on 18, but found a gap between the bleachers for his second shot. He just made a birdie from six feet on the par-4 17th hole and is one in front of Matt Fitzpatrick and Will Zalatoris. He's two over on the day, one under on the championship and three behind Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick. The defending U.S. Open champion is on a tear right now and has birdied three of the last four holes. There was so much movement on the leaderboard that it's difficult to adequately describe what happened at The Country Club. Bottom line, Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick are tied for the lead at four under and Jon Rahm, who was in the lead by a shot but made double bogey on the last hole, is in third place at three under. The defending U.S. Open champion, and leader by one shot hit his drive into a fairway bunker, left it in the bunker on his second shot and now has a fried-egg lie from where his third shot now sits in a greenside bunker.

Rahm won the event last year at Torrey Pines for his first career major. Rahm was attempting his third shot on the 433-yard 13th hole and was 99 yards out after laying up. For cyring out loud,” Rahm complained as he put his club into his bag.

Fitzpatrick failed to get up and down from the greenside bunker to save par at the last, slipping him back into a share of the lead, with Rahm making it a three-way tie at the top when he recovered from bogeying the 13th to take advantage of the par-five next and hole a 30-foot birdie at the 15th. Morikawa reduced the deficit to one with a birdie at the fifth but lost ground when he followed a bogey at the sixth with a three-putt double-bogey at the next, while Zalatoris followed a front-nine 33 by converting from five feet at the 15th to move to four under.
