The third golf major of the year concludes today, with the final round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club.
Sam Burns will start Sunday at 4-under and with a 1-shot lead from both 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott (-3) and J.J. Spaun who, like Burns, is bidding for his first major.
Leaderboard (all times ET):
One day after dicing up one of the sport’s toughest courses (65), Sam Burns backed it up with another exemplary performance yesterday. He fought his driver, missing half of Oakmont’s fairways in Round 3, but leaned on exceptional iron play and short game magic. Burns led all players in Round 3 in strokes gained approach, picking up nearly 3.8 shots on the field in that metric alone. He ranked fourth in the field in strokes gained around the green, leading him to a 4-of-6 scrambling day.
Last summer at Royal Troon Golf Club, Burns had his previous best chance to date of winning one of the game’s premier championships. He was part of a six-way tie for second entering the final round, one stroke behind leader Billy Horschel. Burns stumbled to a final round 80, finishing in a tie for 31st place. There’s closer heartbreak in the rearview mirror, too. A week ago, Burns missed a five-foot putt that would have given him a win at the RBC Canadian Open, which ultimately went to Ryan Fox.
Burns is an immensely talented and decorated player who has found success at every level of the sport. He won the Jack Nicklaus Award as the best college player in the country at LSU. He’s been on each of the last two U.S. Presidents Cup teams and made his Ryder Cup debut in Rome two years ago. The biggest step yet in an ascendant career can come Sunday at one of American golf’s great venues.

Sam Burns has hit the driving range.
He tees off in just over an hour, at 2.15pm.
Hideki Matsuyama has just completed a very impressive round of 68.
He birdied the 18th to finish +12 for the tournament.
The 2021 Masters champion improved on his Saturday score by an eyecatching nine shots and is currently in a tie for 46th.
A solid front nine for Xander Schauffele in his final round of the U.S. Open. He goes out in a 2-under 33, with birdies at holes two and four.
Schauffele's hit all seven fairways and has only missed two greens in regulation today. The American is performing well despite being 5 over for the tournament.
Brooks Koepka places an iron shot just within 13 feet of the hole, setting up a birdie putt on the 196-yard 6th.
He converts and moves back to +6 overall.
Brooks Koepka misses a 7-footer for par and taps in for bogey.
He is now +7 thru 5.

That's three straight missed birdie putts for Jordan Spieth. He leaves himself a great look on the par-3 6th but pulls an 11-footer wide left. He taps in for par.
Thomas Detry has played very well all week long and has just moved one shot closer to our leaders after a birdie on the fourth.
Detry has moved to +4 for the tournament, along with Jason Day and Chris Kirk, who are also -1 for their rounds. All three are eight shots behind our leader Sam Burns and surely out of title contention. But they will all have one eye on gatecrashing the top ten.
After his drive finds the fairway, Brooks Koepka hooks his second shot to the left of the green and into the thick stuff.
This seems like it will be a difficult up and down to save par but he makes a hard shot look easy, leaving himself a seven-foot par putt.
Rory McIlroy with back-to-back birdies? At this U.S. Open?
Yes, you aren't dreaming, golf fans. After a birdie at the par-3 13th, McIlroy takes advantage of the short par-4 14th. He sinks the four footer for birdie to improve to 7 over for the tournament.
That's three birdies over his last four holes for the Masters champion. Ending on a high note here at Oakmont.
Jordan Spieth has parred consecutive holes but missing out on two potential birdies with the deficit he is facing has to be frustrating.
He taps in after missing a 5-foot birdie putt. Spieth remains +7 thru 5.

After a conservative but accurate driver shot off the tee, Jordan Spieth lofts an iron with great touch that stops with six feet of the hole on the 5th. The ball hit the back of the green but kicked left and ran back toward the cup.
He missed a birdie putt on the 4th? Can he convert here?
Brooks Koepka is unable to convert a 33-foot eagle putt but leaves himself a short shot for birdie, which he taps in to move to +6 on the tournament.
After bogeying two of his first three holes yesterday, Viktor Hovland didn’t drop another shot until the 18th. His even par 70 has him alone in fourth place, just three strokes behind Sam Burns. This is the fourth time Hovland has been within three shots of the lead in a major through 54 holes, but the first time he’s done it at a U.S. Open.
Hovland has peppered Oakmont flagsticks all week, leading the field in approach proximity. The ebullient Norwegian has averaged 28 feet, 7 inches from the pin this week, nearly 18 feet better than the field mean through 54 holes. His often beleaguered short game was excellent for a second consecutive day, as well, as he ranked seventh in the field in strokes gained around the green.
Hovland’s seven PGA Tour wins since the beginning of the 2019-20 season are the most for any player without a major. No man from Norway has ever won a major championship — Suzann Pettersen has won two in the women’s game.
Viktor Hovland has arrived at Oakmont. He’s wearing a characteristically bright outfit, you’ll be shocked to find out.
Jordan Spieth has a 16-foot birdie putt on 4 but pushes it above the hole by a good margin.
He taps in a two-footer to save par.

Breaking news! Rory McIlroy just made a birdie.
Despite him being well out of contention. the Masters champion drained a nine footer on the par-3 13th to improve to 8 over for the tournament. His wish of finishing the final round in under four and a half hours is still intact.
Collin Morikawa is the latest player to make a bogey on the nasty ninth.
It’s a horrible hole and playing as the toughest on the course today. The players are faced with a blind tee shot and they’re aiming at a very small landing area. There’s a big ditch to the left and a cluster of bunkers on the right — which the fairway is sloping towards. And then the green is totally unique, with a load of rival players going through their practise routines at the back of it as you’re trying to avoid an embarrassing score.
What a shot by Brooks Koepka!
After a 321-yard drive, he unleashes a powerful second shot that leaves him a 33-foot eagle look.
