Russell Henley holds a share of the lead for the third straight day, this time being joined by Mackenzie Hughes, who shot four under on the back nine to jump ahead; and Louis Oosthuizen, who eagled the 18th on a 50-foot putt.
Zephyr Melton, assistant editor : I predicted Rory McIlroy would make his move on Saturday, and I’m going to continue that theme and say he claims his second U.S.
Luke Kerr-Dineen, Game Improvement Editor : It seems wrong for a swing as sweet as Oosthuizen’s to have only one major.
Tim Reilly, Director of Social Louis has experience and momentum on his side after going three-under over his final three holes on Saturday.
Josh Sens, senior writer : Jon Rahm fell back a stroke on Saturday, but that was with an unfortunate double bogey where he hit his drive near the lip of a bunker, his third shot hit the flag, and he three-putted.
James Colgan, assistant editor Still, that wouldn’t be nearly as much fun as Rory’s redemption tour.
Bombs away off the tee, short irons in, putt well — he was 11th in the field on Saturday in Strokes Gained: Putting.
