DeChambeau takes three-stroke lead into US Open final round

DeChambeau, the 2020 US Open winner, stood on seven-under par 203 after 54 holes, the only player to break par in each of the first three rounds over the dome-shaped greens and weedy sand waste areas at the 7,543-yards layout. Third-ranked McIlroy, trying to end a 10-year major win drought, was on four-under 206 with American Patrick Cantlay and France's Matthiew Pavon. Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, the 2021 Masters champion, and Sweden's sixth-ranked Ludwig Aberg, second at April's Masters in his major debut, were on 208.
