Gary Woodland takes 1-shot lead over Justin Rose in U.S. Open

Pebble Beach, Calif. • The toughest test in this U.S. Open might be more about nerves from chasing history than Pebble Beach.

Gary Woodland held it together Saturday with bold plays and two unlikely pars for a 2-under 69, giving him a one-shot lead over Justin Rose and his first appearance in the final group of a major.

Lurking is Brooks Koepka, who played bogey-free for a 68 to give himself a shot at a record that has stood for 114 years as he tries to join Willie Anderson with a third straight U.S. Open title.
