Sam Burns Leads US Open Final Round as Adam Scott Closes Gap

At the 2025 US Open at Oakmont Country Club, Adam Scott surged into contention with a three-under 67, positioning himself just one stroke behind leader Sam Burns heading into the final round. Scott, the 2013 Masters champion, showed renewed form after several years away from major contention, highlighting this opportunity as a potential career-defining moment. Burns leads at four under par and is chasing his first major title, while J.J. Spaun shares second place with Scott at three under. Other contenders include Viktor Hovland and Tyrrell Hatton, who remain under par, though most challengers have yet to win a major. Historical data from previous Oakmont US Opens suggest first-time major winners often prevail, presenting a tough challenge for Scott despite his experience. The final round promises an intense battle with Scott aiming to secure his first major since 2013, and Burns seeking to capitalize on his lead.
