For a while on Saturday's third round at the U.S. Open, Henrik Stenson looked like he would be sleeping on the lead. But five bogeys on the back nine left him at five-over par, two shots back of the leaders. He was unable to get much going on Sunday either, finishing with a one-over 71 […]

Paul Casey fired rounds of 73 on each of Thursday, Friday and Saturday before a final-round 71 propelled him to a T16 finish at this year's U.S. Open.
