Ex-Mustang has shot at history after impressive third round
There have been 468 major golf tournaments since the very first one, the British Open in 1860. There have been 233 golfers that have won a major championship since then and 87 of those golfers have multiple majors.The former SMU national champion shot a 3-under 67 in Saturday’s third round of the U.S. Open at Pinehurst. He will enter the final round at 7-under and with a three-stroke lead ahead of a trio tied for second place.
It's not too surprising to see DeChambeau in that place. He’s been in the running for each of the year’s first two majors, finishing tied for sixth at the Masters and in second place at last month’s PGA Championship.Back at Valhalla Golf Course in May, DeChambeau entered the final round in fourth-place at 13-under, tied with multiple other golfers. He went on to finish just one shot behind the winner, Xander Schauffele.
DeChambeau is already a member of an even more exclusive list of golfers to win multiple majors. He’s one of 12 to have won the U.S. Amateur championship and the U.S. Open in their career, a list that includes some of golf’s most legendary names: Francis Ouimet, Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
