The 32-year-old Matsuyama traded four birdies against as many bogeys at Pinehurst No. 2, including one at the last hole, for tied fifth place on 2-und...

star Hideki Matsuyama showed his resilience to remain in contention at the US Open on Saturday after an even-par 70 left him five shots behind third round leader, Bryson DeChambeau.

Matsuyama didn’t have the best start, managing one birdie amidst three bogeys in the first seven holes. However, he fought back with birdies on Hole Nos. 11, 12, and 14, all made from inside seven feet. If he aims to claim a second major victory following his Masters Tournament win in 2021, he knows the necessity of his irons performing exceptionally well to navigate the challenging pin positions at Pinehurst No. 2.

After the turn, Kim was unable to make further progress and was set back by two additional bogeys on Hole Nos. 12 and 15. Nevertheless, the young Korean chose to focus on the positives and derive encouragement from today’s challenges, considering the demanding nature of the course setup.
