Scottie Scheffler experienced some putting woes ahead of the US Open but came up with a timely solution in the third round on Saturday, where he holed out for a late eagle that helped vault him into contention.
Scheffler eagled the penultimate hole at Los Angeles Country Club and then needed just one putt the 18th, where he made birdie for a two-under-par 68 that left him at nine under.
For his efforts, Scheffler is alone in fourth place, three shots behind co-leaders Rickie Fowler and Wyndham Clark, and will play the final round with Rory McIlroy.
This will be just the third US Open in the past 20 years in which two of the top three ranked players in the world will be in the top four entering the final round.

Play-off conditions
In the event of a play-off, there will be a two-hole aggregate play-off rather than sudden death.
The US PGA did not dispense with their tradition of an 18-hole Monday play-off until 2018.
