Four of this diverse dozen — Morikawa, Rahm, McIlroy and Scheffler — have major titles. “It will be a big weekend,” said Dahmen, who seriously considered skipping the qualifying process in exchange for a few weeks off. But also because the weekend forecast calls for highs in the 60s with a 10-15 mph wind blowing from the north. “I would expect over the weekend for it to get a little faster and a little fierier,” McIlroy said.

In at least one important way, the halfway point of the 2022 U.S. Open doesn’t feel all that different from the day before it started.

Rahm had a 67 and was one shot behind in a group that included Rory McIlroy. McIlroy, coming of a win at the Canadian Open, was never more entertaining. They were examples that the U.S. Open being open to all doesn't just stop with qualifying for the right to play the toughest test in golf. “You want to go up against the best to try to bring the best out of yourself,” McIlroy said.

The storm clouds never arrived at the U.S. Open.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — (AP) — Joel Dahmen scored 16 points with eight birdies in a bogey-free round Thursday to take the first-round lead in the Barracuda Championship, the only PGA Tour event that uses the modified Stableford scoring system. A point is subtracted for a bogey, and 3 points are taken away for a double bogey or worse. The winner will earn a spot in the PGA Championship next year but not the Masters because it is held opposite a World Golf Championship — the FedEx St. Jude Invitational in Memphis, Tennessee. Dahmen won the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship in March in the Dominican Republic for his first PGA Tour victory. “I slapped one in pretty good on 16 I didn’t deserve,” Dahmen said.

The Ocean Course played to a scoring average of 73.0, 2 1/2 shots easier than Friday's second round. Instead of moving, it felt like the major champions and world-class players chasing Mickelson were standing around watching him. Brooks Koepka's 69th shot of the day was a 7-foot putt for par that would have kept him tied with Mickelson. But this is a round where I'm walking up the 18th going, man, this could have been special today,” Spieth said. “If I were at 4 under and the lead was only 7, then things could be different,” Spieth said.

The leaderboard was mostly static in the third round of the PGA Championship, even though the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island played easier.
