Austin Eckroat, of Edmond, Okla., a former standout at Oklahoma State and a member of the 2021 USA Walker Cup Team, flirted with a 28, just missing an 11-foot birdie on the par-3 ninth hole. He then bogeyed the 12th hole to stall his pursuit to not only skyrocket up the leader board but also possibly establish a final-round scoring mark. It was 50 years ago that Johnny Miller won at Oakmont Country Club with that famous closing 63. In Saturday’s third round, Tom Kim shot the fifth 29 in championship history, following Neal Lancaster, who did it twice (1995-96), Vijay Singh (2003) and Louis Oosthuizen (2015). In 2017, Eckroat was the stroke-play medalist in the U.S. Junior Amateur, losing in the quarterfinals to future OSU teammate Matthew Wolff at Flint Hills National in suburban Wichita, Kan.

The 15th hole on the North Course at The Los Angeles Country Club is by far the shortest of the five par 3s on the George C. Thomas Jr. design The 15th hole on the North Course at The Los Angeles Country Club is by far the shortest of the five par 3s on the George C. Thomas Jr. design (which is itself a remodel of W. Herbert Fowler’s original 1921 layout). For Round 3, the hole is playing as the shortest in U.S. Open history, at 81 yards. That’s 11 yards less than the iconic No. 7 at Pebble Beach played in the final round in 2010. The shot is no pushover, though, as Saturday’s hole is placed in the narrow front section of the crescent-shaped green, an area that is barely 20 feet across in spots. “It’s not a full shot for any of these guys,” said Jeff Hall, who has been involved in U.S. Open course setup for the USGA since 2006. “But they’ve still got to factor in the wind and the firmness and hit a golf shot. I could see somebody having an 80-yard shot and playing it away from the hole, which seems crazy in this day and age, but maybe they’re not on top of their game or it’s the right play in a certain situation.” Through two rounds, No. 15 had yielded three aces, and a fourth would match the championship record, from 1989 on the 167-yard sixth hole at Oak Hill Country Club.

Greater Seattle is where Putnam and his younger brother, Andrew, honed their skills, and both went on to attend Pepperdine University in Malibu, not far from The Los Angeles Country Club. Michael, a member of the victorious 2005 USA Walker Cup Team, is no longer competing at the highest levels of professional golf, but the 40-year-old father of three remains close to the action as a caddie for Andrew, 34, a semifinalist in the 2006 U.S. Junior Amateur and now a PGA Tour regular. Andrew, who won the 2018 Barracuda Championship, shot 1-under 139 to make the cut this week at LACC. Michael wasn’t the only past Walker Cup competitor to caddie in the championship.

But Rickie Fowler can thank his caddie, Ricky Romano, for a vital equipment change Caddies often provide guidance and confidence for a player. But Rickie Fowler can thank his caddie, Ricky Romano, for a vital equipment change that has been a key part of his resurgence in 2023. Just before the American Express Championship in mid-January, Fowler, while playing a casual round in Florida, asked Romano if he could try his putter. The club was longer than Fowler’s normal flatstick and had an extended grip, but he rolled a few putts and instantly fell in love with it. That club has been in Fowler’s bag ever since, and he has seen his strokes-gained putting go from an abysmal 161st on the PGA Tour at the end of last season to No. 51. Through 36 holes this week at The Los Angeles Country Club, he’s made an astonishing 18 birdies, shattering a 36-hole U.S. Open mark that had stood for 31 years (Gil Morgan registered 14 in 1992 at Pebble Beach). Fowler’s 10-under total of 130 matches the 36-hole championship mark set by Martin Kaymer in 2014 at Pinehurst. Fowler enters Saturday’s third round with a one-stroke lead over Wyndham Clark, thanks in part to a very fortuitous equipment change.

The Ohio State All-American, however, got a mulligan when he was added to the field a week later as an alternate when the five spots being held for anyone getting inside the top 60 of the Official World Golf Ranking on June 12 were not filled. In fact, the 21-year-old from Uniontown, Ohio, was the last player to get a tee time at The Los Angeles Country Club, and he is making the most of the opportunity. After missing the 36-hole cut in 2022 at The Country Club, Moldovan, one of 19 amateurs in the field, carded a 1-over-par 71 on Friday to put himself in position to make the cut, which was trending at 2-over 142. This should bolster his World Amateur Golf Ranking, which moved to No. 19 on Wednesday. It could also help his chances to make the 10-man USA Walker Cup Team that will take on Great Britain & Ireland in September on the Old Course at St. Andrews. Moldovan, a rising senior, had a strong spring, winning the Auburn (Ala.) Regional and helping the Buckeyes qualify for the NCAA Championships in Arizona.

In fact, the holes The closing triumvirate of par-4 holes on the North Course in this U.S. Open have drawn a lot of pre-championship attention. In fact, the holes make up the longest combined yardage for the three closing holes in championship history – their scorecard yardages of 542, 520 and 492 total 1,554 yards. For Round 1 on Thursday, the trio is playing slightly shorter than that. But it’s not just the length: No. 17 features the barranca running along the right side, and though No. 18 is the shortest of the three, the tee shot plays significantly uphill. When asked to name a “scoreable” stretch of holes on the North Course, 2022 U.S. Open co-runner-up Scottie Scheffler quipped, “If I was to choose a non-scoreable stretch, it would be 16 through 18.” On Thursday morning, 2013 champion Justin Rose played them in bogey-bogey-double bogey. The previous longest trios of finishing holes were 1,539 yards at Congressional in 2011 and 1,536 yards at The Olympic Club in 2012, but both of those stretches included par 5s, two of them at Olympic. The next-longest three closing par 4s were at Winged Foot’s West Course in 2020, but its collection of holes were a combined 65 yards shorter than this year’s.

The conservative The 330-yard, par-4 sixth hole on the North Course at The Los Angeles Country Club provides options for U.S. Open competitors. The conservative play to the fairway leaves a short wedge approach over a barranca and bunkers to an extremely shallow green. Another option is to play a tee shot directly toward the putting surface, just under 300 yards on a direct line – but the tee shot is blind, and those who miss the green could find a difficult lie or an awkward stance. So what’s the best play? “Before this week I thought I was going to lay up,” said two-time major champion and local product Collin Morikawa. “My caddie convinced me in like two minutes that we might be going for it. The barranca down below the bunker, you can get a very bad lie, but you can also get a lie where you can hack it out to the middle of the green. If I can make four pars there and maybe give myself one birdie [putt] inside 10 feet, I think I’ll be all right. Right now I am leaning toward going for it.” “I’m not a huge fan of blind tee shots or blind shots going into greens,” said two-time U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka. “But No. 6 is going to be interesting; you could see anything from a 7 to possibly a 2.

This year’s championship attra Among the 156 players in the U.S. Open field are 20 who ran the daunting gauntlet of local and final qualifying. This year’s championship attracted the highest number of entries ever, a total of 10,187 hopefuls, the vast majority of whose quests began – and ended – at one of the 109 local qualifiers conducted around the country between April 17 and May 22. A little over 5 percent of that contingent (530 out of 9,693) moved on to join those exempt into final qualifying. At that stage, the odds slightly improved, with about 7½ percent getting to LACC (67 of 878, at 13 sites). Kyle Mueller, 27, of Athens, Ga., who was an All-America player at the University of Michigan, is one of those 20 players who pulled off the impressive double, advancing through local in Sylvania, Ohio, and through final qualifying on June 5 at Hawks Ridge Golf Club in Ball Ground, Ga. It’s the second time Mueller has beaten the long odds, having done so in 2016 to compete at Oakmont. He will attempt to improve on his finish there, having shot 77-73 to miss the 36-hole cut by four strokes.

Incidentally, the current BYU coach is Miller’s son, Todd. Former Cougar Rhett Rasmussen was the first to advance, carding a 65 to earn medalist honors at CasaBlanca Golf Club in Mesquite, Nev., on April 26. Rasmussen qualified for the 2018 U.S. Open, missing the cut at Shinnecock Hills. Six days later at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes in Arizona current BYU player Brock Goyen took the top spot with a 67. A week later, 2023 West Coast Conference champion Zac Jones was the leading qualifier at Missoula (Mont.) Country Club, the same day Tyson Shelley fired a 66 at Broadlands Golf Course in Broomfield, Colo., to take medalist honors. On May 10 at Riverton (Wyo.) Country Club, current Cougar Keanu Akina shot a 66 and then holed an 18-foot birdie putt in a playoff to take the second and final spot. If all five should advance out of 36-hole final qualifying, it should be quite the BYU congregation at LACC, as Johnny Miller is receiving the 2023 Bob Jones Award, the USGA’s highest honor, early in championship week at a ceremony in Los Angeles.

Incidentally, the current BYU coach is Miller’s son, Todd. Former Cougar Rhett Rasmussen was the first to advance, carding a 65 to earn medalist honors at CasaBlanca Golf Club in Mesquite, Nev., on April 26. Rasmussen qualified for the 2018 U.S. Open, missing the cut at Shinnecock Hills. Six days later at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes in Arizona current BYU player Brock Goyen took the top spot with a 67. A week later, 2023 West Coast Conference champion Zac Jones was the leading qualifier at Missoula (Mont.) Country Club, the same day Tyson Shelley fired a 66 at Broadlands Golf Course in Broomfield, Colo., to take medalist honors. On May 10 at Riverton (Wyo.) Country Club, current Cougar Keanu Akina shot a 66 and then holed an 18-foot birdie putt in a playoff to take the second and final spot. If all five should advance out of 36-hole final qualifying, it should be quite the BYU congregation at LACC, as Johnny Miller is receiving the 2023 Bob Jones Award, the USGA’s highest honor, early in championship week at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
