Adam Scott did not let his bad fourth round stop him from showing respect for JJ Spaun, who won the 2025 US Open in incredible fashion.

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.

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.

Adam Scott enters the fourth round of the US Open just one stroke off the lead, as he hunts a second major title and his first since 2013. Follow live.

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, but some fans are not familiar with the golfer's sponsor choice.

Scott was almost rewarded for the touch as, when he finally took the putt for his eagle, he shaved the hole having felt it was in. The birdie was duly tapped into the cup as the Adelaide moved closer to leader Sam Burns during the front nine of the final round.

In the end, even “old-man-par” would have fallen just short as too many tussles with Oakmont Country Club’s gnarly rough denied Adam Scott a career-defining second major at the US Open.

Adam Scott finished the third round equal second at three-under par, and teed off at 4.15am Monday AEST with leader Sam Burns.

The tradition of the US Open finishing on Father’s Day Sunday could be in jeopardy after play was suspended due to dangerous weather.
