US Open 2023 LIVE: Leaderboard and latest updates from final round

Right, here we go. McIlroy gets his round underway as he bombs a drive down the left-hand side. Scheffler hits before him and his ends up in an awful position in some thick rough next to the left fairway bunker.

Schauffele -5 (1), Nagano -4 (1)

Neither of these two can take advantage of the par-five first and walk off with a pair of pars.

Our third-from-last-group is underway. Johnson’s trickles into the right rough but English’s is way right. It goes beyond the spectator stand and into the food and drink area – my goodness!

Wow! An inch-perfect seven wood into the 14th green gives Fleetwood around 20 feet for his eagle…no mistake for the Englishman and he moves up into the dizzy heights of fifth.

He’s also eight under for the round. Another birdie coming home would see him break the record for the lowest round in major championship history…

Fowler (-10), Clark (-10) – 22:30pm BST

Last year, Rickie Fowler didn’t even compete in the US Open, such was his fall down the world rankings. The American has three second-place finishes in major championships but few could have predicted a resurgent Rickie quite like this. He broke records in the first round with the lowest score in US Open history and will look to cement his place in this tournament’s history with a win today.

His playing partner, Wyndham Clark, is relatively unknown when compared to those around him at the top of the leaderboard, but the 29-year-old is a recent winner on the PGA Tour and has looked right at home over the last few days. A sparkling iron into 18 yesterday secured his place in the final pairing and he’ll be looking to make that count over the course of the next five or so hours.

This final pairing get underway in just under half an hour.

A birdie-par-birdie start for the American sees him jolt up the leaderboard. It’s never quite happened for him at the major championships so far but there’s still plenty of ranking points (and money) to be played for over the course of the day for those further down the leaderboard.

A quick reminder of the pin locations for today – the third and seventh remain tucked again. There’s a small change in the driveable sixth too, so that will be one to watch out for.

McIlroy (-9), Scheffler (-7) – 22:19pm BST

If you’d told the world in 2014 that Rory McIlroy would not win another major for nine years, they would have booked you in for a brain examination.

But years later, after several close calls and near misses, here we are. His opportunity last year at St Andrews was a golden one but was ripped from him by the excellent Cam Smith. Now, less than a year on, he has another golden opportunity at LACC.

Don’t count out his playing partner Scottie Scheffler, though. The American is world number one for a reason and a late flurry last night has him four back at seven under. He’s struggled with the putter all week but if he gets it going, he may well make history of his own.

These two get underway in around half an hour.

Gordon Sargent is just 20 years old but he hits the ball a mighty far way. His par putt on the last inexplicably bounces back out of the cup meaning it will be a one-under-par round of 69.

Four over par for the tournament and the American is the low am here at this year’s US Open.

The two-time major champion had a round to forget on Friday but will be eagerly watching from his sofa (I presume). He fancies fellow American Rickie Fowler to get the job done:
