Rory McIlroy saw another winning opportunity disappear over the early stages of his final round at the US Open on Sunday night as Bryson DeChambeau closed in on a maiden major title at Winged Foot.

McIlroy, the 2011 US Open champion and four-time major winner, was far from the only one to suffer as the chase got underway to reel in the lead pairing of DeChambeau and overnight leader Matt Wolff. As the leaders made the turn, only DeChambeau was under par for his round as Winged Foot played to its toughest.
