  • American Bryson DeChambeau teed off with a three-stroke lead in the final round of the 124th US Open at Pinehurst.
  • A victory would lift the 30-year-old American from 38th into the top 10 in world rankings.
  • Cantlay, seeking his first major triumph, could overtake Collin Morikawa for the last US berth at the Paris Olympics if he has a two-way share of second.
  • DeChambeau was nagged by right hip tightness on Saturday but could still match the record of eight consecutive major rounds at 69 or lower.
  • Four-time major winner McIlroy last captured a major at the 2014 PGA Championship but has finished better at the US Open each of the past five years.
  • Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama and Sweden’s Ludwig Aberg were five back on 208.
  • Matsuyama has a chance to become Asia’s first male multiple major winner, having shared second at the 2017 US Open.
  • Only six players were under par as DeChambeau started, and he had just 10 rivals after 54 holes.
  • Rory McIlroy, trying to end a 10-year major win drought, was on four-under 206 with American Patrick Cantlay and France’s Matthiew Pavon.
  • The eventual winner in the past 25 US Opens has been within four of the lead entering the final round.
