US Open 2013 Tee Times: Complete Day 4 Information Hub

Rob GoldbergJun 8, 2018

After three rounds of the U.S. Open, it is clear that no one is able to solve the tough course at Merion.

Phil Mickelson is not only the leader heading into the final day, but he is also the only person in the tournament under par at minus-one. Hunter Mahan, Charl Schwartzel and Steve Stricker remain one stroke back, though it is clear that everyone is having a tough time this week.

Despite the course's short overall length, the long rough and tough angles have made posting a low score here almost impossible.

Top Pairings to Watch

Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan (3:20 p.m. ET)

While some better putting might have allowed Phil Mickelson to pull away from the field, he is likely not too upset to be in first place after 54 holes.

The veteran has finished in second place an incredible five times at the U.S. Open, but he has never won the major. This will likely be his best chance if he can simply keep up his consistency from tee to green.

Meanwhile, Hunter Mahan has been outstanding despite being a bit under the radar this tournament. He is the only player to post a round in the 60s in each of the last two days, and he could have been in the lead if not for two bogeys on holes 17 and 18 to end Saturday's round.

Mahan has been very accurate off the tee all week, and his ability to avoid the rough has helped him tremendously. He has a chance to win his first major if he continues this on Sunday.

Charl Schwartzel, Steve Stricker (3:09 p.m. ET)

Although Steve Stricker has never won a major, he is often in contention. Fortunately, this course gives the experienced golfer as good of a chance to finish on top as any in the country.

All year long, Stricker has shown a great ability to hit accurate shots off the tee and get greens in regulation. He is also a solid putter, which has helped him in this tournament. At Merion, these skills are much more important than length, which has the Wisconsin native in contention.

Charl Schwartzel has not been as consistent as Stricker throughout the tournament, but his ability to get birdies will continue to help him on this tough course. This, plus his past experience of winning the Masters, should help him in the final stretch.

Billy Horschel, Jason Day (2:47 p.m. ET)

Despite the fact that the English pairing of Justin Rose and Luke Donald have a later tee time, Billy Horschel and Jason Day is the group to watch on Sunday.

Only Rickie Fowler posted a better third-round score than Day's 68. Day had five birdies on the day and has done a good job of avoiding the rough. He played well down the stretch to earn a third-place finish at the Masters, and he has the ability to close strong at this tournament as well.

Then again, there are few players on tour who have had a more surprising year than Horschel. The young player has six top-10 finishes this year, and he only missed a single cut. In his first major as a professional, he has been outstanding with his ability to hit greens in regulation.

Horschel has been incredibly hard on himself throughout the week, but he has proven the ability to remain in contention with some of the best golfers in the world. He certainly is capable of putting together one more great round to pull off a shocking victory.
