You cannot ask for more than what we’ve already received from the 2023 U.S. Open, and yet, the final round has already been a blast Sunday at Los Angeles Country Club. Record-low scores were the name of the game in the opening round, but LACC firmed up significantly making things much more difficult. Sunday’s final round has been a mixed bag with the leaders teeing off in the late afternoon.
Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy have stood out from the pack this week. Fowler set a U.S. Open scoring record at 130 through 36 holes with an absurd 18 birdies. Fowler scored three more Saturday and now sits one away from tying the four-round tournament record. Taking that record may play a significant part in Fowler winning his first career major championship; entering as co-leader on Sunday alongside Wyndham Clark is also a first for Rickie.
McIlroy, of course, is seeking the fifth major of his career and first after a nine-year drought. He starts one back of the leaders in Sunday’s penultimate pairing alongside world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who sits three back while seeking his second career major. It looks to be a four-horse race with the aforementioned names contending for the national championship, but there are some heavy hitters behind them as well.
Clark pushed himself to the top of the leaderboard midway through the first round despite dealing with some unfortunate lies. This while his playing partner, former co-leader Fowler, has fallen off significantly. McIlroy birdied the first but has missed numerous putts, settling for pars through the remainder of the front nine. Who will emerge from this triumvirate remains to be seen, but it will surely be exciting down the stretch.
