‘That was brutal’: Harsh conditions batter players at U.S. Open and Mother Nature isn’t going to let up in the final round

After basking in sunshine and temps in the 70s and 80s most of the first two rounds, the sky turned gray; temps dipped into the low 60s; and winds were steady at 15 mph, gusts at 20 mph and there were occasional blasts exceeding 30 mph.

And come Sunday for the final round? It’s going to be wicked cold.
