Rory McIlroy will face a Sunday showdown against Patrick Cantlay as the pair look to chase down Bryson DeChambeau in the final round of the 124th US Open at Pinehurst No 2.
McIlroy will play alongside Cantlay at 7.10pm BST, the first time they have been grouped together since a heated exchange with Cantlay’s caddie Joe LaCava during the Ryder Cup last September in Rome.
The Northern Irishman had felt LaCava’s celebrations after Cantlay holed a lengthy putt on the 18th green had been out of line, with the argument later continuing when McIlroy had to be restrained by team-mate Shane Lowry in the car park.
“Yeah, should be great,” Cantlay said about the McIlroy pairing after a third-round 70. “I’m in a great spot. It’s a golf course that’s a challenge. If you can make some birdies, you can gain a lot of ground. I’m really happy with how I played today, and I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”
Sky Sports will show extended coverage of all the action from the final round live on Sunday from 2pm on Sky Sports Golf, with DeChambeau taking a three-shot lead into the final day and playing alongside Matthieu Pavon in the final group at 7.21pm BST.
