The third round of the U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, is scheduled to tee off Saturday morning, and a tight leaderboard should lead to a fun weekend for fans of golf. 

Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen sit at the top of the leaderboard, tied a 5-under for the tournament, followed by 21 players within four shots of the lead.

Morikawa, who is looking for his third win at a golf major, shot a 66 on Friday, sinking five birdies with just one bogey on the day. 

A win at The Country Club would be Morikawa’s first U.S. Open victory, and would put him within a win at the Masters of winning all four of golf’s major tournaments.

"I never put an age on [the career Slam]. Never really thought about it. I just wanted to win golf tournaments, win majors, and compete against the best in the world, and luckily, I've been able to do that," Morikawa said, according to Yahoo Sports.
