SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. – Gusty conditions once again swept through Shinnecock Hills Golf Club during Round 3 of the 2026 U.S. Open as the field attempted to gain ground before heading into Sunday.<\/p>\n

Six LIV Golf stars made the weekend, and Saturday proved to be a tough test for all involved. Legion XIII\u2019s Tyrrell Hatton and 4Aces GC Captain Dustin Johnson lead all LIV Golf players at 4 over through three days. They were T36 when the final groups teed off.<\/p>\n

Johnson shot a stellar 1-over 71 on Saturday while Hatton carded a 2-over 72. Majesticks GC\u2019s Laurie Canter was impressive as well in Round 3, shooting 1-over 71.<\/p>\n

PLAYER NOTES FROM RD. 3<\/p>\n

DUSTIN JOHNSON (1-over 71; 4-over total)<\/p>\n

Johnson shot one of the better rounds of the morning, firing a 1-over 71 to get into the clubhouse at 4 over. The 4Aces GC captain’s solid play continues, despite a difficult three-hole stretch in the middle of his back nine.<\/p>\n

“I played really good,” Johnson said. “Obviously, struggled there on 14, 15, 16, made three bogeys in a row. But other than that, I played really well.”<\/p>\n

Johnson pointed to the unforgiving nature of Shinnecock’s margins as a factor, even on shots that looked solid.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes on this golf course, if you’re a yard off the fairway, it’s worse than if you miss it big,” he said. “But I mean, played really solid in these conditions. It was absolutely howling this morning, and it felt like I played really, really well.”<\/p>\n

TYRRELL HATTON (2-over 72; 4 over total)<\/p>\n

Hatton carded a 2-over 72 in the third round to sit at 4 over for the tournament. The Legion XIII star has kept himself within range heading into the final round at Shinnecock Hills.<\/p>\n

LAURIE CANTER (1 -over 71; 5-over total)<\/p>\n

Canter carded a 1-over 71 in the third round to move to 5 over. The Englishman pointed to a familiar culprit for what has kept him from an even lower number.<\/p>\n

“I played really, really solid today, tee to green. A lot of really good shots,” said Canter, who plays for Majesticks Golf Club. “I’ve just made such a mess of 16 the last two days. I’ve chipped it in the bunker twice there. If I can get that one up and down, I’ve got a good chance of shooting another good round.”<\/p>\n

Canter also pointed to the wind and firming conditions as reasons for optimism heading into Sunday.<\/p>\n

“If this wind keeps going and the course dries out a bit, it should move up a few spots and can have a run at a really great week tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

JOAQUIN NIEMANN (2-over 72; 5-over total)<\/p>\n

Niemann backed up his incredible second-round 65 with a 2-over 72 on Saturday and sits at 5 over for the week. After one of the most dramatic 36-hole turnarounds<\/a> of the championship, the Torque GC captain remains in the picture entering Sunday.<\/p>\n

CALEB SURRATT (5-over 75; 9-over total)<\/p>\n

Surratt shot a 5-over 75 in the third round, moving to 9 over for the week. The performance remains a milestone regardless, with the young Legion XIII star already having secured a made cut in his first career major start.<\/p>\n

PETER UIHLEIN (10-over 80; 14-over total)<\/p>\n

Uihlein carded a 10-over 80 in difficult conditions in the third round to fall to 14 over for the week. The RangeGoats Golf Club star will look to rebound in the final round.<\/p>\n
