ROUND AT A GLANCE

-

LEADING:

Gary Woodland shot a two-under 69 to get to 11 under for the tournament and give him the lead after 54 holes in a major for the first time in his career.

TRAILING:

Justin Rose shot 68 and trails by one. Brooks Koepka, Louis Oosthuizen and Chez Reavie were four shots back.

TIGER WATCH:

Tiger Woods posted five birdies and five bogeys to shoot 71 and was 11 strokes back at even par.

THREE-PEAT WATCH:

Koepka played a bogey-free round to shoot 69 but missed a chance to get closer by failing to make birdie on the final seven holes.

ROUND OF THE DAY:

Danny Willett birdied four of the first seven holes on the way to posting the lowest score of the day at 67.

KEY STATISTIC:

Woodland has only two bogeys for the tournament, with none coming on the difficult final nine holes.

LOW AMATEUR:

Stanford senior Brandon Wu shot even-par 71 to remain at two under and the low amateur. He was two shots ahead of last year’s U.S. Amateur winner Viktor Hovland and four strokes ahead of Duke’s Chandler Eaton.

QUOTABLE:

‘‘I don’t know if I spent any time on a putting green when I was a kid, I was too busy hitting driver.” — Woodland on if he imagined draining a putt for the U.S. Open win as a kid.
