ERIN, Wis. (AP) Cameron Champ got off to a rough start in the third round of the U.S. Open. Scottie Scheffler was sailing along until he ran into trouble on No. 18.
The last two amateurs at Erin Hills had quite a day.
Champ used a strong back nine to escape with a 1-over 73 on Saturday, and Scheffler closed with a triple bogey for a 71. While Justin Thomas had a record-breaking 63, and Brian Harman surged to the top of the leaderboard, Champ and Scheffler spent much of the afternoon learning more about playing in one of golf’s most challenging tournaments.
