U.S. Open 2021 Tee Times: Starting times and pairings for Sunday's final round at Torrey Pines

We said the fun began on Saturday as the U.S. Open reached the third round at Torrey Pines. Well, we’re heading to Sunday and, frankly, the fun is over.

It’s the work that’s now begun.

Thirteen players are within five shots of leaders Louis Oosthuizen, Mackenzie Hughes and Russell Henley, setting up loads of potential suspense and drama in San Diego with a major championship on the line. And if you’re not blown away by the trio at the top, you have to get excited about the fact that lurking close by are four more major champions, three of whom are past U.S. Open winners—Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau are two back; Dustin Johnson and Collin Morikawa four back.

Of the players in contention, all but Scottie Scheffler have either a PGA Tour or European Tour win on their résumés already. Xander Schauffele is the local favorite, adding yet another possible wrinkle for the finish. Seriously, there are enough intriguing scenarios in play that Sunday’s final round will have something for everybody.

Here then are the final-round pairings. Everybody get some rest … there’s a big day ahead.
