Near-identical triple bogeys by Tony Finau and Ludvig Aberg minutes apart derail their US Open hopes

Tony Finau and Ludvig Aberg had their U.S. Open dreams dealt a major dent when they ping-ponged their way around the exact same green about 30 minutes apart Saturday during a third round played in oppressive heat at Pinehurst No. 2. Finau began the day two shots back of Aberg, the overnight leader, and both were hanging tough near the top of the leaderboard when they arrived at the 13th, a relatively straightforward par-4 that ranked among the easier holes on the day. The mortifying mess didn't take either out of the tournament, but it left them Aberg and Finau three more shots to make up on Bryson DeChambeau on Sunday.
