US EditionAdam Scott Makes a Saturday Charge at the US Open as He Challenges Sam Burns for the Lead
- On Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Oakmont Country Club, Sam Burns held a one-shot lead after the third round of the U.S. Open over Adam Scott and J.J. Spaun.
- Burns reached this position by steady play on a difficult, rain-soaked course while Scott, a 44-year-old 2013 Masters champion, produced a low 3-under 67 to close the gap.
- Spaun kept pace with Burns much of the day but bogeyed the 18th hole after a bunker shot, and Viktor Hovland stood three shots back after a mixed round with late birdies and a closing bogey.
- Burns carded a one-under 69 to reach 4-under 206 and said Oakmont 'takes patience,' while Scott said, 'Putting ourselves in these positions doesn't just happen by fluke.'
- Burns will face the pressure of a U.S. Open final round alongside Scott, who aims to add an exclamation point to his career with a major win twelve years after his only one.
