Oakmont, PA. – We have a round to visit Big, Bad Omont Country Club, which was drenched with heavy rains on Friday and Saturday morning.
The venerable layout was softened, of course, but it was still hard played.
And through three days, only four players sit equal – Leader Sam Burns 4 Under; JJ Spon and Adam Scott a shot back; And under Victor Hoveland 1.
Assuming that the champion would come from one of the last two pairing of Sunday, there is a look at the potential winners and their possibilities of winning this 125th US Open:
Sam Burns, 4 Under
Why he will win: He has been the best player this week. On Thursday, take a 5-over finish in your last four holes and Burns could run with this thing. He is surprisingly scramble, second place in the field for the week. Equal at number 15 and their up-downs for the border and the shovedy at number 17, especially standing out what to win with Burns. We also know that he is the best venue in the field, although he is currently received in the 16th strokes: Putting. And above these, he is surely doing his irony best, which he has ever hit them, looking at the circumstances. He is the number 1 in stroke: approach. By attaining that first major top -10 in Pineharst last year, this Burns gave the additional confidence that perhaps he is sufficient to win one of these things.
Why wouldn’t he win: Driving. Usually a strength, Burns lost two-and-a-half shots to T on Saturday and he is ranked 58th in stroke: T of the TT for the week. He has hit seven fairways twice this week.
What they said: “I did not drive the ball and I liked it as well. But when I got out of the situation, I think I did a good job to bring myself back to the fair, I was able to change some of them to be a nail or small iron in my hand and equal. I was able to change some of them and was able to keep such speed.”
JJ Spon, 3 Under
Why he will win: Patience. After the bogie-free opening round, Spon managed to avoid weakening mistakes for at least two more days. He is not a double card, and his eight bogies are at least worse in the bogie or area. Spon said, “What I am showing this week has gone in such a way that it is just taking the course with the mentality of such plugging and the course I give.” On Saturday, only three greens also missed because they continue to pile up those and fairways, part of the recipe to avoid the couple and all three.
Why wouldn’t he win: Recovery. Spaun is not a single major top -20 in its career. He also ranks, for the season, 120th in stroke: around green and 84th in stroke: Putting; This week rank in those categories: T -19 and 1. Will it be durable for 18 and holes?
What they said: “This is the first time for me when I should have a major controversy, yes, yes. I mean the players are an informal head, I think, but yes, it’s fun. It is fun. I mean it’s everything that you prepare and hope that there is an opportunity to be in these big events, I can get myself very hard.
Adam Scott, 3 Under
Why he will win: Experience. Out of 10 players over 3 or better, only Scott has a major title under their belt. Add to it, 19 career major top -10s. Although Scott has only one top -10 in the last six years and that is Away from the age of 45 yearsThat he has played himself in this position, allows him to use his wife of major knowledge. He also does not seem upset with Omont. “It’s not so easy, but it surely feel that it is relatively stress-free,” Scott said. “… I do not know about the yardage books, but I would say that I am coming to Omont this time, and it is not a knock on the golf course, but perhaps just one doubles trips around America are open here, I knew what expected.”
Why wouldn’t he win: For the great as the ball, the ranking was ranked third in stroke: T to Green, he recalled seven greens on Saturday. He will need to bring that number up. Of course, however, it is difficult to find a major reason why he will not pick up the trophy.
What they said: “Everyone has got their journey here, you know. Keeping yourself in these positions is not just by fluuk. It is not easy to do. I am not really in such a situation for five or six years, or feel that I am like that player. But I am always working. It is not easy to find out all this.
Victor Hoveland, 1 under
Why he will win: Iron play and (stunning) short game. The worse he is, he is killed by the driver (more on it), the hoval still leads the ground in the stroke received: tea to green. He is number 1 in closeness and is third in both strokes: around the approach and green. Hoveland’s short-game conflicts are well documented, but Omont Garnali is a de-skilled chipping in the 5-inch Rough because in fact there is only one way to hit the ball with those complicated lies-as much as you are swinging through thick goods and hope that the ball comes out like you. Hoveland fully estimated Par-4 17th Hole, shooting a 63-yard pitch for 3 feet for its final shirt of the round.
Why wouldn’t he win: Driver. This is around 9 o’clock and as I have written that this hoveland is still cursing the drivers in the range. “Just don’t seem to find out,” Hoveland said on Saturday evening. “This year is like a dull problem, so it is like urinating me.” While Hoveland hit nine fairways in Round 3, more than three from the previous day, he lost more than two shots from T, which dropped his rank to 38th position for the week among the cutters. Hoveland said he feels that he directed his drive more on Saturday and started seeing those tea balls a little right.
What they said: “Just feel that I am very mature, just a lot of stuff is happening. I know what it seems to win a major championship, so I know that shots to try to hit and not try to try to hit.
