(AP) \u2014 The bunched leaderboard, the inability to pull away, the momentum changing with virtually every shot.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=3631\">Phantastic performances: Phillies\u2019 Schwarber homers twice in inning, Harper hits for cycle vs Mets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes, if the U.S. Open plays out Sunday like it did in the third round, then the race for second place will be a nailbiter. <\/p>\n<p>Three players whose names will drive Google searches galore for casual golf fans \u2014 Tom Kim, Sam Stevens and Sahith Theegala \u2014 found themselves tied with a bigger name, Scottie Scheffler, in a four-way logjam for second with 18 holes to play at Shinnecock. <\/p>\n<p>They all finished Saturday trailing leader Wyndham Clark by six shots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you can see, it\u2019s kind of a jumbled leaderboard,\u201d Kim said, \u201cexcept for where the leader is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the record, a six-shot rally would be one less than the biggest final-round comeback in U.S. Open history. That belongs to Arnold Palmer, back in 1960 at Cherry Hills. <\/p>\n<p>Even if they had resumes approaching Palmer\u2019s, the odds would be stacked against these three dreamers. Turns out, they don\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p>Kim, Stevens and Theegala have a total of one top-5 finish in majors between them. All in their 20s and looking for a breakthrough, they have a total of 39 starts in majors between them, dating to 2020.<\/p>\n<p>They will play in groups ahead of Scheffler, whose early round of 69 left him in that jumble at 1-under 209 and gave him the last, and featured, tee time with Clark on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>The other three know they have quite a hill to climb. If Clark falters or Shinnecock Hills rises up \u2014 now less likely with the wind expected to calm down \u2014 then Scheffler figures to be the best bet to scoop up the trophy and wrap up the career Grand Slam. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo much of it kind of depends on what Wyndham does,\u201d Stevens said. \u201cI could play a great round tomorrow and shoot 3- or 4-under and still lose by seven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, stranger things have happened. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a disaster waiting to happen on every hole,\u201d Theegala said. \u201cSo you just have to be patient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A quick look at the group in second place:<\/p>\n<h3>Sahith Theegala<\/h3>\n<p>At Pepperdine, became only the fifth player in the last 30 years to win the three biggest awards for college players: The Fred Haskins, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus Awards. <\/p>\n<p>But Theegala became a bigger name when he appeared on the Netflix series \u201cFull Swing,\u201d which takes an inside look at players on the PGA Tour. He was still living at home when he made it to the tour, and things like doing his laundry felt new. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=3629\">Oklahoma a win away from national title after roughing up North Carolina ace in Game 1 of CWS finals<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Theegala\u2019s best major finish was ninth place at the 2023 Masters. His lone win on tour was at 2023 at the Fortinet Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Quotable: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of danger involved in pushing it a little bit, but you do have opportunities to kind of make a push at the end there.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>Tom Kim<\/h3>\n<p>Kim became a lightning rod for his fiery appearances at the Presidents Cup in 2022 and 2024. There was friction because of the fist-pumping antics he pulled and some difference of opinion over who, if anyone, crossed the line when he teamed with Si Woo Kim in a match against Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay.<\/p>\n<p>Kim also made a splash when he waded into a swamp looking for an errant tee shot at the 2023 PGA at Oak Hill. He came out a muddy mess and had to dip into a stream to clean up \u2014 a viral moment that he explained by saying: \u201cI mean it\u2019s a major championship. I\u2019m fighting for every single stroke I have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kim finished in a tie for second at the 2023 British Open, though he shot a 67 to pull into that tie and was still six shots behind winner Brian Harman in a major as lopsided as this one is shaping up to be.<\/p>\n<p>Quotable: \u201cI think you\u2019ve just got to look at it as you\u2019ve got to kind of do your own thing. You can\u2019t really force a lot of things out here. You\u2019ve got to keep staying patient, and that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Sam Stevens<\/h3>\n<p>A father of four, Stevens is the third generation of a golf family with deep roots in Kansas and across the Midwest. <\/p>\n<p>His grandfather, Johnny \u201cSlim\u201d Stevens, made more than two dozen starts on the PGA Tour in the 1960s and played in the 1969 U,S. Open. His father, Charlie, played college golf at Oklahoma, had a brief stop on the Korn Ferry Tour and won the Kansas Amateur in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>He has made more than $10 million on the PGA Tour but has yet to post his first win. Asked earlier in the week about his surge at Shinnecock, he said a good conversation with his wife, Kelsey, helped him rediscocver his perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m only 29,\u201d he said, \u201cso I probably don\u2019t need to be bitter about things quite yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quotable: \u201cYou don\u2019t normally shoot a low number trying to shoot a low number. You kind of shoot a low number just because it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=3627\">Come inside Iran\u2019s World Cup hotel in Tijuana, Mexico, where fans turn up to cheer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP golf: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/golf<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y.
