OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 14: Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland walks off the seventh tee during the third round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 14, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.

Overview

  • Burns carded a 1-under 69 in Saturday’s third round to sit at 4-under 206 and retain a one-shot advantage over Adam Scott.
  • Adam Scott fired a 67 to move to 3-under, with Viktor Hovland three strokes back after a 70.
  • Oakmont’s soggy greens and punishing rough over five inches long have reduced the field to just four players under par.
  • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler trails by eight shots and Rory McIlroy stands nine back after barely making the cut.
  • Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau and stars Justin Thomas and Shane Lowry missed the weekend cut set at 7-over.
