Adam Scott believes he needs another major title to boost his World Golf Hall of Fame credentials and while the Australian was in the hunt during Sunday's final round at the U.S. Open his challenge faded as conditions became tougher in heavy rain.

While only a half dozen players remain in realistic contention for the national championship, one has captured the crowd's imagination above all others: Adam Scott, chasing his first U.S. Open victory in his 24th try.

Scott made just a single bogey during a third-round 67 Saturday that vaulted him into a share of second place, just one shot behind leader Sam Burns. Scott will play in the final group Sunday at Oakmont as he looks to set the record for the longest gap (12 years) between a player’s first and second major titles.

Everyone's favorite Aussie, Adam Scott, is in a strong position after the first 54 holes of the U.S. Open. Not only is he tied for second place, just one stroke behind leader Sam Burns, he is also the only player in the top 10 who has the considerable advantage of knowing what it feels like to win a major championship.

Australian Adam Scott, the veteran golfer, is the fan favorite to win this year’s U.S. Open and add another major trophy to his cabinet. He is one shot behind leader Sam Burns, who sits at 2‑under par through seven holes. To give him a boost in the final round, an unexpected guest graced the course.

Third-generation American golf pro Sam Stevens, whose grandfather made 30 PGA Tour starts in the 1960s, was on one-over after he sank a 20-foot birdie putt at the third hole and holed out from just inside 16 feet at the par-five fourth.

With only three players under par as Moving Day begins, Oakmont Country Club is certainly not beating the allegations. The toughest golf course in the United States continues to show its teeth as the 2025 U.

Adam Scott is not only drawing attention for his play during the U.S. Open but his unique outfit choice as well. Like other PGA Tour events, Scott's hat and shirt at the US Open have the same red logo,
