"I feel like I can keep this up for another 18 months, for sure." But is that enough time for Scott to finally win a second major?

Australian Adam Scott, the veteran golfer, is the fan favorite to win this year’s U.S. Open and add another major trophy to his cabinet. He is one shot behind leader Sam Burns, who sits at 2‑under par through seven holes. To give him a boost in the final round, an unexpected guest graced the course.

While only a half dozen players remain in realistic contention for the national championship, one has captured the crowd's imagination above all others: Adam Scott, chasing his first U.S. Open victory in his 24th try.

Scott made just a single bogey during a third-round 67 Saturday that vaulted him into a share of second place, just one shot behind leader Sam Burns. Scott will play in the final group Sunday at Oakmont as he looks to set the record for the longest gap (12 years) between a player’s first and second major titles.

Adam Scott believes he needs another major title to boost his World Golf Hall of Fame credentials and while the Australian was in the hunt during Sunday's final round at the U.S. Open his challenge faded as conditions became tougher in heavy rain.

He’s played in 96 straight major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus for the most consecutive major starts in history. Naturally, then, Adam Scott has more experience than anybody else on the leaderboard halfway through the 2025 U.

Third-generation American golf pro Sam Stevens, whose grandfather made 30 PGA Tour starts in the 1960s, was on one-over after he sank a 20-foot birdie putt at the third hole and holed out from just inside 16 feet at the par-five fourth.

With only three players under par as Moving Day begins, Oakmont Country Club is certainly not beating the allegations. The toughest golf course in the United States continues to show its teeth as the 2025 U.
