It was hard for Emiliano Grillo to miss. There are televisions in the locker room and the dining room. So before he teed off in the ninth pairing in Saturday’s third round of the U.S. Open, he was already aware of the damage that Shinnecock Hills Golf Club — and its wind and firm greens — had done.

He saw Dylan Wu record an 8 on the first hole after four-putting. He saw Chris Gotterup step back from his ball and watch it roll away. Then, Grillo went out and became one of the first golfers to conquer the new-look Shinnecock, ripping off four birdies in a row to close the front nine and play himself into contention for the final round Sunday.

Grillo — who shot a 3-under 67 — is seven shots behind leader Wyndham Clark in a tie for sixth and was one of only two golfers to shoot under par Saturday. And for the 33-year-old Argentine, who has won two PGA Tour events — with his last in 2023 — and has finished in the top 10 in a major just once, it’ll give him at least a chance heading into Sunday.
