US Open leaderboard: Sam Burns leads going into final round

The dust has settled after moving day at the 2025 U.S. Open.

American Sam Burns (-3) sits atop the leaderboard following the third round of play on Saturday at Oakmont Country Club, which has proven to be a challenge as only four golfers are currently under par. Adam Scott (-2), J.J. Spaun (-2), Viktor Hovland (-1) and Carols Ortiz (E) rounds out the top five.

U.S. Open leaderboard

  • 1. Sam Burns: -4 (F)
  • T2. J.J. Spaun: -3 (F)

  • 4. Viktor Hovland: -1 (F)
  • 5. Carlos Ortiz: E (F)

  • 8. Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen: +2 (F)

Adam Scott into the co-lead

Adam Scott is climbing up the leaderboard. The Australian golfer birdied three of the past five holes to move into the co-lead at 3-under on the day. He’s carded four total birdes in the third round and one bogey. Scott, who turns age 45 next month, looks to become one of the oldest players to win the U.S. Open. Hale Irwin became the oldest champion when he won the 1990 U.S. Open while aged 45 years and 15 days.

Sam Burns takes solo lead

Sam Burns is alone at the top. Burns took sole possession of the lead at the 2025 U.S. Open after sinking a birdie on hole No. 13, marking his second birdie of the third round. He saved par on hole No. 14 to maintain his one-stroke lead over J.J. Spaun through 14 holes.

Ben Griffin gets back to even

After scoring two-over on the front nine, Ben Griffin notched birdied on two of three holes to get his score back to even and into a tie for fourth place.

Carlos Ortiz cards 3-under third round

A bogey on No. 18 was Carlos Ortiz’s only blemish to an otherwise splendid third round at the U.S. Open. Ortiz finished the day with a 3-under, which puts him at even heading into Sunday’s final round.

In addition to the bogey, Ortiz had four birdies and pars on the other 13 holes. He enters the clubhouse three strokes behind J.J. Spaun and Sam Burns, who currently share the lead.

Tyrrell Hatton making late charge

Tyrell Hatton is back to even at the U.S. Open after putting up three birdies over his past four holes. Hatton is 3-under for the day.

Carlos Ortiz surging in third round

Carlos Ortiz went into the clubhouse after Friday’s second round at 3 over par, but he’s in the thick of contention after a sizzling third round at Oakmont.

Ortiz has made four birdies and 10 pars to move to 1-under after 14 holes. He’s in third place, just two strokes behind co-leaders J.J. Spaun and Sam Burns.

JJ Spaun tied for US Open lead

J.J. Spaun drained the first birdie on No. 1 of the day and got himself into a tie for the lead with Sam Burns.

Last group on the course trying to maintain momentum

Sam Burns (-3) and J.J. Spaun (-2) took their tee shots for the third round, as two of three golfers who are currently under par. Viktor Hovland began the day two shots back and bogeyed his first hole of the day, while J.J. Spaun took a share of the lead with a birdie on his first hole.

Two-time champ tees off for third round

Brooks Koepka, the 2017 and 2018 U.S. Open champion, began his third round at 2-over tied for ninth as the final five groups get set for their rounds with the last group starting at 3:35 p.m. Koepka started off on the par 4, 487-yard first hole and missed for a 10-foot par putt to start his day to push him back to 3-over.

Slow starts defining third round

If golfers are expecting to get off to a fast start in the third round, the first two holes haven’t been cooperative.

The first two holes have produced only three birdies for the more-than-30 golfers that have taken the course on Saturday, and the first hole, a par 4, 487-yard hole, hasn’t recorded a single birdie. The back nine isn’t much better with one birdie carded on the 10th hole.

Rough start for golfers in third round

As the third round commences, those who are already on the golf course are having a tough time posting positive scores, with a light rain soaking the course. Almost two hours into the round, only two golfers are under par, with very few birdies. Brian Harmon got a birdie at the par-five four to improve to 6-over and Matthew Fitzpatrick has the same score after his 31-foot birdie putt on 600-yard par-five fourth hole.

Rory McIlroy, who won this tournament in 2011 and finished second in 2023 and 2024, has begun his third round and sits at 6-over through 36 holes.

Third round underway at Oakmont

Sam Burns is the 36-hole leader at the U.S. Open after the second round was completed early Saturday morning and is only one of five players who are above par heading into the weekend.

The third round is underway with golfers who barely made the cut line at 7-over par, starting with Philip Barbaree, Jr. and Cam Davis being among nine golfers set to tee off before 10 a.m. ET.
