PGA Tour Brunch | U.S. Open Final
Final Round Coverage of the 2025 U.S. Open | Oakmont
By TERRY LYONS, Editor of Digital Sports Desk
OAKMONT, (Pennsylvania) - Sam Burns posted his low 54-hole score in a major with his (206). Burns’ previous low: 209 (two times; 2022 U.S Open; 2022 PGA Championship).
This is the fifth time leading/co-leading after 54 holes on TOUR, but he’s only 1-for-4 in converting to a win. Burns won the 2021 Valspar Championship. This is his first time with a 54 hole lead at the U.S. Open.
Burns held the outright 36-hole lead after carding a second-round 65, the low 18-hole score by any player this week. The 28-year-old seeks his sixth win in his 174th start on TOUR.
At 44 years, 10 months, 30 days, Adam Scott could become the second-oldest winner U.S. Open history (Hale Irwin/1990/45 years, 0 months, 15 days). Scott looks to become the oldest winner of the 2025 season on TOUR (Ryan Fox/RBC Canadian Open/38 years, 3 months, 20 days).
Scott hopes to become the third player from Australia to win the U.S. Open (David Graham/1981; Geoff Ogilvy/2006).
None of the 67 players to make the cut carded a bogey-free round on Saturday.
