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.

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.

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.

Sam Burns' Message on Donald Trump Resurfaces During US Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Sam Burns has had a stellar week at the U.S. Open, but the PGA Tour golfer is used to playing with high-profile partners. With Burns in contention to win the U.S. Open, fans pointed to an old Instagram post Burns made last fall.

Sickened Sam Burns has spoken out on the hugely-controversial decision which finally blew apart his US Open dream. The American star was at the centre of a massive drama in the final stages at Oakmont and seemed to be the victim of a hotly-contested call from tournament officials.

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.

The tradition of the US Open finishing on Father’s Day Sunday could be in jeopardy after play was suspended due to dangerous weather.
