McIlroy finds the green at the short par-4 17th.
With a 3-wood.
Arguably his shot of the week.

Taylor +3 (1)
Scheffler failed to make birdie on 1 but his playing partner Nick Taylor did not.
The Canadian moves to 3-over in a tie for ninth.
McIlroy +8 (16)
Sloppy three-putt from 30 feet for McIlroy.
He's back to 8-over but 2-under for the round, which is the low round on the course.
Scheffler +4 (1)
Scheffler begins with a par at 1.
He two-putts from 45 feet.
Scheffler needs to go low.
You would think mid 60s for any chance.
Detry +3 (6)
It's a second birdie in three holes for Belgium's Detry.
He's made the first big move of the final round.
Detry to 3-over par.
Probably too far back but good chance of a first top-10 finish at the US Open.
McIlroy +7 (14)
Rory McIlroy is finding his groove now.
A second birdie in a row arrives at the 14th. A beautiful wedge from 85 yards settles four feet from the hole and he has no issue finding the middle of the cup.
He pipes a drive down the middle of the fairway at the par-4 15th...
Day +4 (3)
Jason Day picks up an early birdie at the 3rd, rolling in a putt from nine feet.
He's in trouble at the 4th, though, and is staring a bogey in the face.
Rahm +7 (7)
Rahm's clean card is ruined at the 7th.
The Spaniard finds the bunker with his approach and can't salvage a four from 14 feet.
McIlroy +9 (12)
McIlroy gets one back at the par-4 11th by draining a 28-foot uphill putt.
He can't take advantage of the par-5 12th, though, and watches a seven-footer slide past.
McIlroy didn't seem happy with the chip that provided the birdie chance.
Best club toss ever?

Koepka +7 (3)
A loose tee shot at the 2nd is punished for Koepka.
And he's in trouble off the tee on the 3rd, finding the Church Pew bunker.
Koepka does well to get back into position, but cannot save his par from 18 feet.
Ryan Fox is playing on his own today as Corey Conners was forced to withdraw hours before the final round with a wrist injury.
The Kiwi is enjoying a great day so far, and has picked up his third birdie in seven holes at the 7th.
That moves him to 5-over.
Playing solo, and playing well!

Schauffele +5 (4)
Xander Schauffele is not having the US Open he would have hoped for.
The American is enjoying a decent final day, though, and has just picked up his second birdie of the day at the par-5 4th.
Koepka +5 (1)
Some par from Brooks Koepka at the 1st.
Tyrrell Hatton has arrived at Oakmont.
The Englishman, it has to be said, has a pretty crappy record in the major championships despite his obvious talent.
He'll begin the final round five behind Sam Burns, which is nothing at Oakmont.
McIlroy +10 (10)
McIlroy finds fairway at 10 and his approach is all over the pin.
It's long, though, and jumps into the rough.
McIlroy rubs his face. It's been a long week.
He takes three from there.
Koepka +5 (1*)
Brooks Koepka's golf ball stops short of the trees and he has a shot.
He chops out and his golf ball lands about 40 yards short of the green and then trickles down onto the putting surface.
It's a long two-putt from there, but he'll take that.
Former US Open champion Brooks Koepka is too far back now at 5-over par.
His first tee shot leaks right of the fairway.
Trouble.
McIlroy +9 (9)
Rory McIlroy appears a bit chirpier today.
The Northern Irishman was interviewed by Golf Channel ahead of his final round where he explained that he wanted to end the week on a positive note.
He makes his first mistake of the day at the par-4 9th, paying the price for missing the fairway with his tee shot and having to hack out.
Fox +6 (4)
Birdies at the 2nd and 4th move the Kiwi up the leaderboard.
McIlroy +8 (7)
Rory McIlroy grabs his second birdie of the day at the par-4 7th.
That moves him into a share of 40th on the leaderboard alongside Patrick Reed.
When Jack talks, we listen.

McIlroy +9 (2)
McIlroy sends a huge drive down the short par-4 2nd and goes on to make a birdie.
Up to 9-over.

McIlroy +10 (1)
McIlroy splits the fairway and goes on to make a par at the par-4 1st.
Let's hope he gets round in 4.5 hours otherwise he will be fuming.
Settle in on Sunday morning with Rory.

Should Adam Scott, 44, win the US Open he will become the oldest winner since Hale Irwin in 1990.
"If I were to come away with it then it would be a hell of a round of golf and an exclamation point on my career."
Scott will try to win his first major championship in 12 years on Sunday.
