It’s shaping up to be a dramatic Sunday at the US Open as American Sam Burns goes for his first major win and leads the field by one stroke, just ahead of Australian Adam Scott and his compatriot J.J.

Sam Burns was controversially not allowed a drop from standing water on the 15th hole while tied for the lead at the US Open. The Louisiana man had casual or 'temporary' water under his feet on the fairway and believed his ball was also in a wet area so asked for a free drop.

The golfer turned pro in 2009 and has played 159 events over his career earning $3.4 million, per the PGA Tour. For those wondering what kind of grandfather Palmer was, Saunders shared an incredible story about the legend answering his phone while he was at the oval office meeting the president.

Should Sam Burns have gotten relief on the 15th hole during the final round of the 2025 U.S. Open? It's a question he's going to ask for a long time.

Sam Burns revealed the role that his friend, Scottie Scheffler, has played in his career, including his status as the 54-hole leader of the 2025 U.S. Open.

Scheffler, despite his struggles, played well enough to reach the weekend, as did Rory McIlroy, who birdied No. 18 to close at 6-over before continuing his bizarre anti-media petulant pouting campaign and blowing off interview requests.

Sam Burns took a one-shot lead into the final round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont. From there, things did not go well.
