Two putts for Bryson DeChambeau, two putts for Ludvig Åberg, and the pair walk off the 18th in vastly different moods. A 67 for the former, a 73 for the latter, and what the young Swede would give to replay the 13th hole today. Bryson by contrast dreaming of a second title. Only eight players are under par, and while DeChambeau will of course be strong favourite tomorrow, three shots can go in the blink of an eye at a US Open, and nobody will be giving up the chase quite yet. It promises to be another exciting day at Pinehurst; please join us! Thanks for reading this blog.

Another wild Bryson drive, this time down the left of 18. But he’s so long, he clears all of the filth and finds some more flat ground. Slightly fortunate again, but when it’s your day, it’s your day. A few pine needles around, so he doesn’t get too greedy, and simply looks for the centre of the green. He finds it, and as he walks up the hole as the sun goes down, thanks the gallery for the ovation he so richly deserves.
