Woodland held up really well considering it was Saturday of a major. His best major finish was T6 last year at the PGA after having the 36 hole lead. Prior to that, his best was T12 a couple times. He made some incredible saves.  It will be interesting to see if he wilts on Sunday - history says he will. But his demeanor throughout the day today says he won't.

Rose's putter is keeping him in this. He didn't play particularly well tee to green today but just kept canning 10 to 12 footers. You can't argue with great putting in the US Open.

My pick, Rory, has an outside shot at 5 back, but he may have too many to leap over specially when one of them is Koepka.

If Koepka was putting like he was for the PGA, he'd have a 3 or 4 shot lead - maybe more as he would be putting more pressure on guys to go low.

All that being said - if I had to put money on someone right now, it would Koepka. Rose next and McIlroy after Rose.

Unless the weather gets weird and early rounds have a big advantage, anyone more than 5 back probably doesn't have a shot.  I'd like to see them get a little more aggressive with pins and tees tomorrow to maximize risk/reward for the final round.
