US EditionUS Open a Race Against Daylight on Rain-Soaked Oakmont
- Play in the final round of the 2025 U.S. Open was halted at 4:01 p.m. ET on Sunday due to hazardous weather conditions at the venue located just outside Pittsburgh.

- The delay raised concerns about concluding the tournament on Sunday night, though play is likely to resume once conditions improve, with leaders Sam Burns and Adam Scott poised to continue.
