Moving day has arrived at the U.S. Open. An initial field of 156 players is down to 69, and everyone’s chasing leader Dustin Johnson. He started the day 4 strokes under par and that same margin ahead of the next-closest players, Scott Piercy and Charley Hoffman.
Tee times for Saturday at the U.S. Open
Dustin Johnson and Scott Piercy tee off last.
Johnson and Piercy will tee off in the final group of the day at 3:10 p.m. ET. Thirty-four groups tee off before them, starting at 9:07 a.m.
Lots could still happen in this championship. The windy conditions, fast green speeds, and tall rough at Shinnecock Hills could yet wreak chaos on the remaining field. But Johnson has looked in total command so far, reminiscent of how Tiger Woods used to tame U.S. Open courses with authority. If Johnson’s foot stays on the gas, he’ll win his second national championship and three years. Nobody will catch him if he plays to his potential.
The most exciting-looking groups on Saturday are the last ones. Some attractive pairings earlier in the day are Zach Johnson-Paul Casey at 11:41 a.m. ET, Justin Thomas-Pat Perez at 1:42 p.m. ET, and Matthew Fitzpatrick-Marc Leishman at 2:15 p.m. ET.
