Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau are locked in a tight battle at the U.S. Open. McIlroy missed a crucial 2-foot, 6-inch putt on the 16th hole, which caused him to fall back to co-leader status with DeChambeau at 6-under. DeChambeau also missed a 4-foot putt for par, maintaining the tie. Tony Finau finished with a strong round, scoring a 67. McIlroy had been perfect on putts inside 3 feet this season, going 496-for-496 until this miss. McIlroy bogeyed the 16th, losing his one-stroke lead. The competition remains intense as both players vie for the title in the final moments.
