Who is leading the US Open 2023? Day 3 leaderboard and highlights explored

2023 US Open sensation Rickie Fowler continues to lead the tournament for the third consecutive day, now tied with Wyndham Clark. Both go into the decisive day at the top of the leaderboard with a score of -10.

Rickie Fowler added three more birdies to his already bulging tally, while he made three bogeys, the third of them on the 18th hole to lose the solo lead.

Although on Saturday his putter was not up to the level that it was on Thursday and Friday, he did manage some spectacular shots, such as a 69-foot putt on the 13th hole.

For his part, Wyndham Clark was steady with three bogeys and four birdies. His last birdie came on the 18th hole to tie Fowler.

Rory McIlroy is in third place. On Saturday, he could only salvage one stroke during the round (three birdies and two bogeys). However, it was enough to keep him just one stroke behind the leaders at the US Open (-9).

One of the players who added pressure to the race for the US Open title was World No. 1, Scottie Scheffler. He managed a round of -2 to climb four places, with an overall score of -7. One place below him is Harris English, who could only score +1 on Saturday. But his two very good first rounds kept him in the top 5.

The surprise of the day came from South Korea's Tom Kim, who carded the best third round of the 2023 US Open (-4) and jumped 30 places up the leaderboard to T9 (-3).

Kim also set the record for the day, playing the front nine for 6-under 29, equaling the US Open record, previously held by three other players.
