JJ Spaun calls it his best putting day this year
JJ Spaun navigated Oakmont’s tough setup in the US Open round with sharp putts and rough play.
USGA
The 2025 US Open will enter its final chapter at the Oakmont Country Club on Sunday. The scores so far highlight how difficult this journey has been for golf’s best players.
The American Samburns began as the tournament’s 4-under leader on Sunday, with Adam Scott and JJ Span closely following in close proximity, both of which came in second in the final round.
The absence at the top of the leaderboard is the world’s No. 1 golfer Scotty Scheffler (+4). 2024 champion Bryson Deccanbeau failed to make the cut after posting a 7-over par 77 on Friday. Oakmont’s dangerous course does not offer favors to the field as the weather became a problem on the last day.

ā¤ Complete the open leaderboard
Robert McIntyre scored a chance of victory, finishing his tie at the top of the leaderboard in one overpal in the final round. Two birdies and no bogeys back nine put him in a solid position as the rest of the field continues playing.
There’s a new golfer on the leaderboard, the same guy who led after the first round.
JJ Spaun is now in front of him with an even score, as birdies on the 12th and 14th holes first propelled him. Even if he was 3 years old that day, Spawn is better than most of the field as the struggle at Oakmont is clear. Sam Burns was 4 underpal in the tournament that entered that day, but he was +5 that day and now in second place with +1.
Oakmont proves how tough it is, as the final group of golfers are on the back nine. Sam Burns holds his lead, but a par-4 11th hole double bogey pushed him back to even numbers, one shot ahead of Adam Scott and Carlos Ortiz second place.
After a halt for more than 90 minutes due to weather, the golfer returned to the course to continue the final round.
It will resume at 5:38pm on ET. There’s plenty of sunlight to finish the final round on schedule and you won’t have to play on Monday, June 16th.
The American Golf Association announced that play is expected to resume at 5:40pm ET. The delay is expected to be just over 90 minutes.
The threat of showers and thunderstorms was constantly looming in forecasts for Sunday’s final round at Oakmont.
Play was stopped shortly after 4pm as rain fell on the course and the plays began to form on the green. As golfers played through the first start of rain, the audience was pulling out umbrellas, but it got heavy and staff finally decided to blow the horns. The golfer began leaving the course when the play stopped.
The timeline for stopping play has not been determined.
Two bogeys in his first five holes tied up for a lead with Sam of Australia’s Adam Scott.
Burns had to run to the left bunker on the 422-yard par-4 fifth hole and head out on the fairway. From there he slammed the approach to Green from 107 yards and made two putts for a bogey.
Playing in the 96th consecutive major tournament, Scott had a bogey on the first three holes. However, he took the birdie at the fourth of the par-5 and returned to 2 under with the ship right to the right.
Two-time major champion John Rahm gave the remaining fields the numbers to shoot, and finished the tournament with a 3-under par 67 card. The 2012 US Open winner at Torrey Pines birded the final three holes and entered the clubhouse with a ninth-place tie.
The world’s No. 1 player is trying to make history by opening Sunday’s final round at Oakmont. With a par on 4, Scotty Schaeffler sits eight shots behind 54-hole leader Sam Burns.
No one in history returned much further to win the US Open on the last day. But if someone has the chance to break the legendary record, Schaeffler would be a great choice.
Arnold Palmer returned from a seven-shot behind leader Mike Sackak in the final round to win the Cherry Hills in 1960. He shot the final round of 65, including 20-year-old amateur Jack Nicklaus, 47-year-old Ben Hogan, and 48-year-old Sam Snade.
The biggest comeback was opened in Oakmont in the previous nine US, and the second-largest comeback of this championship to date came in 1973, when Johnny Miller returned from the six and won.
Schaeffler’s biggest comeback in his professional career came from five strokes in the 2024 Player Championship. He also won an Olympic gold medal in Paris that year, rallying from four shots in the final round of 62.
But the US Open is another animal. Schaeffler hasn’t beaten pars in any of his last eight rounds in the tournament.
The winner of the 2025 US Open at Oakmont Country Club will pocket $4.3 million as the US Golf Association announced this week that the wallet totals to $21.5 million.
Both the prize money and wallet amounts are the best of the four major golf tournaments.
- 1 day: $4,300,000
- Second: $2,322,000
- Third: $1,459,284
- Fourth: $1,023,014
- 5 days: $852,073

In dealing with a wrist injury, Canada’s Corey Connors withdrew from the final round at Oakmont on Sunday. They were paired with Ryan Fox with the planned tee-off at 10:20, and the Connors told tournament officials they couldn’t play.
TSN golf analyst Bob Weeks reports that Connors was first injured Thursday when he hit a hidden cable while playing a bunker shot. He reissued it on Saturday by swinging with a plug ball in a bunker at Hall No. 11. The Connors were inside the top 15, +3 after the front nine on Saturday, but played back 9 with a +8 per day with 5, tied them in 40th.
