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.
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.
Greens were flooded, fairways sodden and Scott struggled as J.J. Spaun pulled one of the most remarkable final round back nine turnarounds in major history to claim a maiden major victory, two shots clear of Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre.
