Collin Morikawa thought a 66 would give him a shot at the US Open. Then came Bryson DeChambeau

Associated Press  

PINEHURST, N.C. — Collin Morikawa woke up Saturday nine shots off the lead and figuring he would have to get back to even par to have any chance of winning the U.S. Open. What Morikawa wasn’t counting on was big Bryson DeChambeau manhandling the sun-drenched course a few hours later, shooting a 67 and leaving him seven shots behind with a round left. In 1960 at Cherry Hills, Palmer trailed Mike Souchak by seven shots after 54 holes, but birdied six of his first seven holes in the final round and went on beat amateur Jack Nicklaus by two shots for the greatest comeback in the tournament’s 124-year history. Just execute as best I can.” The 27-year-old Morikawa had a chance to win his third major at the Masters in April, where he was one shot back of Scheffler and in the final group.
