Sam Burns and Adam Scott started the last round of the U.S. Open in the final group, one shot separating them in first and second place.

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 is now a hot topic on the golf scene after a great performance at the US Open. The 28-year-old golfer impressed the public, and despite the challenges of Oakmont, he managed to finish as T7, although he had a great foundation to even win.

By Frank Pingue OAKMONT, Pennsylvania (Reuters) -Overnight U.S. Open leader Sam Burns, seeking the biggest win of his career, got his final round underway on Sunday at partly cloudy Oakmont Country Club with a one-shot lead over Australian Adam Scott and 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 avoided the late meltdown that cost him in the first round of the U.S. Open. He had a 65 and has a one-shot lead at Oakmont.

Burns, a 28-year-old from Louisiana, has five PGA Tour titles, the last one more than two years ago. Despite that, he leads the quartet under par through 54 holes.

Australia’s Adam Scott played himself into contention in the 125th US Open with a Moving Day round of 3 under par 67 and a tournament total of 3 under 207, a stroke behind America’s Sam Burns who topped the leaderboard for a second straight day.
