Just trying to make some birdies and avoid the bogeys,\u201d said Scheffler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t do a great job of that for most of the day but I grinded it out pretty hard. \u2026 And yeah, just fortunate to see that shot go in on 17 and then a nice birdie on 18 to kind of get myself back into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For his efforts, Scheffler is alone in fourth place, three shots back of co-leaders Rickie Fowler and Wyndham Clark, and will play the final round in a star-studded second-to-last pairing with world number three Rory McIlroy.<\/p>\n<p>This will be just the third U.S. Open in the last 20 years in which two of the top three ranked players in the world will be in the top four entering the final round, according to Elias Sports Bureau.<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler started the day five shots back of halfway leader Fowler and fell out of the picture after navigating the first 16 holes in one over par.<\/p>\n<p>But Scheffler saved his best for last as he holed out for eagle from 196 yards out at the par-four 17th, which is playing as the most difficult hole on the golf course this week, before a 22-foot birdie putt at the last.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCould not see the ball go in, but there was a nice crowd there on the grandstand behind the green,\u201d Scheffler said about his second shot at the 17th hole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw where it landed and I thought it would funnel out on to the green and I\u2019d have a look for birdie and then you could see everybody as the noise started to kind of rise, got excited, and then they erupted, which is always nice when you\u2019re standing back there in the fairway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler, who secured his lone major title at the 2022 Masters, where he took a three-shot lead into the final round, said he did not feel any different being the hunter or the hunted on the Sunday of a major.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re nervous whether or not you\u2019re leading or chasing. I want to win the golf tournament. It doesn\u2019t matter what tournament it is.
