Michael Madrid-USA TODAY Sports

Justin Thomas' record-setting 63 on Saturday vaulted him into a tie for second and sealed a spot in the final grouping with leader Brian Harman for the final round of the 117th U.S. Open.

After Thomas posted his incredible round of 9-under-par, Harman poured in three birdies on his back-9 to hold a one-stroke lead heading into Sunday. The pair will tee off last at 3:54 p.m. ET (2:54 p.m. local time) both looking for their first major title.

Brooks Koepka and Tommy Fleetwood joined Thomas at 11-under with matching 68s and will play together for the second straight day in the penultimate pairing.

After numerous close calls in the biggest events on the calendar, first-round leader Rickie Fowler sits in good shape to win his first major, teeing off at 3:32 p.m. ET (2:32 p.m. local time) with Si Woo Kim.

Patrick Reed also shot up the leaderboard with a low round, as the Ryder Cup hero posted a 7-under 65, and finds himself in the fourth-last grouping with Russell Henley.
