US Open Golf 2013 Tee Times: Pairings and Predictions for Saturday

Thursday's rain-soaked round at the Merion Golf Club East course has left golfers scrambling for much of the first few days of the 2013 U.S. Open, but with cuts made Saturday morning, the field and play should start to normalize in Round 3.

Billy Horschel and Phil Mickelson stand alone at the top of the leaderboard heading into the third round with a one-stroke lead over the field at one-under. Mickelson and Horschel have both set the tone with tournament-best rounds of 67, the former's coming in Round 1 and the latter's in Round 2. 

Behind Mickelson and Horschel is a trio of well-known veterans in the course lingering at even-par. Steve Stricker and Justin Rose joined Horschel and Henrik Stenson as the only players to shoot an under-par second round this week, as course conditions left players merely hoping to keep level par. Luke Donald also lingers at even par for the tournament, 

Overall, though, these men are the anomaly at the East Course. Equipped with narrow fairways and some of the most unforgiving rough in the world, Merion has made the world's best golfers succumb to its will. There have been only 11 under-par rounds through the first 36 holes of this tournament, with the cut line moving all the way back to eight-over par before settling.

This has all given the 2013 U.S. Open the feel of one of the most difficult in history, a throwback to 2005 and 2006 where scores of five over par wound up winning the tournament.

With Day 3 action getting underway and undoubtedly sending scores even higher, here is a complete preview of everything you need to know about Saturday's round.
