In the final round of the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina, Bryson DeChambeau holds a three-stroke lead over Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, and Matthieu Pavon. DeChambeau's aggressive approach on the golf course has put him in a commanding position with a score of 8 under.
McIlroy, who is known for checking the leaderboard frequently, had a conservative approach on certain holes but also displayed aggression on others, resulting in a score of 4 under. Cantlay and Pavon are tied for second place at 4 under.
DeChambeau's interaction with fans by signing autographs and tossing balls into the stands has added to his popularity during the tournament. He had a slow build in this tournament, with good rounds late Thursday night and early Friday morning. DeChambeau won the US Open in 2020 at Winged Foot.
McIlroy, who is trying to end a major win drought, is looking forward to another Sunday in the mix at a major. Cantlay and Pavon are also eager for their chances on the final day.
Bryson DeChambeau teed off with a three-stroke lead in Sunday's final round of the 124th US Open at Pinehurst. He is the only player to break par in each of the first three rounds, standing at seven-under par 203.
