As all this was happening on moving day, the guy who has won this event the past two years stayed in range of a hat trick, nestled within a thick group of contenders.
Sunday’s Round 4 will begin with the top 12 players separated by three strokes. The 54-hole leader, Dustin Johnson, is at 9 under par after carding a 5-under 65 Saturday at San Francisco’s TPC Harding Park. He tied for the low round of the day with Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa.

Scheffler (-8) will be Johnson’s playing partner in the final pairing, while Cameron Champ (-8) and Morikawa (-7) will be in the pairing just ahead of them.
Just ahead of Morikawa and Champ will be Brooks Koepka, the 2018 and 2019 PGA champion. He’s also at 7 under, and he’s talking trash.
“I like my chances,” Koepka said, per Golf Digest. “When I’ve been in this position before, I’ve capitalized (Koepka has won four majors). I don’t know, [DJ’s] only won one (the 2016 U.S. Open).”
Haotong Li, who led after two rounds, managed just a 3-over 73 in Round 3. He’s four strokes behind Johnson.
