The National Weather Service reports that the weather in the Oakmont, Pennsylvania, area on Sunday is expected to feature rain showers in the morning and scattered showers throughout the day, with a high of around 76 degrees.

Burns shot 69 to finish at 4-under-par 206, one shot clear of J.J. Spaun (69) and Adam Scott (67, matching the day's low round with Carlos Ortiz). Viktor Hovland (70) is 1-under and Ortiz is even par.

A brief look at the third round Saturday of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club (all times EDT): LEADING: Sam Burns with a 1-under 69. He was at 4-under 206. CHASING: Adam Scott (67) and J.J. Spaun (69) were one shot behind.

Sam Burns make a mockery of Oakmont's brutal challenge with a brilliant round to take the US Open lead. This is the eighth time Burns has held the 36-hole lead since he joined the PGA Tour (his first in a major) and his conversion rate is not good to say the least.
