The 35-year old veteran of the Japan Golf Tour is in eighth place through three rounds of the U.S. Open. Nagano is at 4 under through 54 holes, six behind co-leaders Wyndham Clark and Rickie Fowler. Nagano will be paired with Xander Schauffele in Sunday’s fourth-to-final group, which will tee off at 4:57 p.m. ET.
