Heavy rain halts final round of US Open at soaked Oakmont

SPORTS 15.06.2025

American Sam Burns clung to a one-stroke lead over Australia's Adam Scott after seven holes when heavy rain suspended Sunday's final round of the 125th US Open.

Text size:

Play was stopped at 4:01 p.m. (2001 GMT) due to dangerous weather in the area but the US Golf Association opened the driving range and said play was expected to resume at 5:40 p.m.

Course workers were using squeegees to brush standing water off greens and fairways in a bid to keep the course playable as well as stop water from trickling into bunkers.

Burns and Scott were each two-over on their round, leaving Burns -- seeking his first major crown -- on two-under par overall and Scott, the 2013 Masters winner, second on one-under.

England's Tyrrell Hatton and Norway's Viktor Hovland shared third on one-over with Mexico's Carlos Ortiz and American J.J. Spaun sharing five on two-over.

In US Open history, there have been two Monday finishes caused by storms and not a playoff -- 2009 at Bethpage Black when Lucas Glover won and 1983 when Larry Nelson won at Oakmont.
