ARDMORE, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Tiger Woods birdied the first hole to move within three shots of the lead as pacesetters Phil Mickelson and fellow-American Billy Horschel teed off for the third round of the U.S. Open on Saturday.

Four-times major winner Mickelson, chasing his first U.S. Open title after finishing runner-up a record five times, and 26-year-old Horschel were at one under par with a jam-packed leaderboard giving chase at Merion.
