The 2019 U.S. Open is far from over but while moving day provided a needed boost for some, the names on top saw little change. After a stunning second round<\/a>, Gary Woodland continued his methodical poise around Pebble Beach Saturday.<\/p>\n

Woodland began the day 9-under par for the tournament and holding onto a one-shot lead. Despite his first bogey in 34 holes, the current U.S. Open leader turned in a steady 2-under third round of 69. His playing partner Saturday, Justin Rose, kept things close with a 68 to stay just one back of Woodland.<\/p>\n

While the top two didn’t change, the leaderboard below them shifted around with a number of odds on favorites<\/a> making their move. With so many of the top players in golf<\/a> pulling out all the stops at Pebble Beach, the third round of the U.S. Open turned in a number of replay-worthy highlights.<\/p>\n

Woodland and Rose continue to set the pace<\/h2>\n

Gary Woodland showed no signs of pressure or slowing down as he needed just four holes Saturday to turn in his first birdie and extend his lead to three.<\/p>\n
