'It would be incredible': A lot at stake for the four golfers on top of the U.S. Open leaderboard
Briefly

At Oakmont Country Club during the U.S. Open, discussions center on difficulty, the winning score, and players under par. The course is notorious for repelling golfers, with previous tournaments showing minimal players finishing under par. However, in 2025, four players managed to finish the first three rounds under par, led by Sam Burns. Despite having a solid PGA Tour record, Burns has yet to secure a major championship, highlighting the intense competition and unique narrative of the tournament.
Whenever the U.S. Open makes its way back to Oakmont Country Club, the winning score and players under par are discussed at length.
It takes a lot of patience to play a golf course as difficult as Oakmont, where only a few players often finish under par.
The eclectic nature of the leaderboard this year, featuring players like Sam Burns and Adam Scott, offers a compelling final round.
Despite having multiple wins on the PGA Tour, Sam Burns has never finished better than a top 10 at a major championship.
