The closest Sam Burns has come to a major championship is sharing a house with a close friend who already has three of them. He has been inspired by Scottie Scheffler the last few years. The next step is to join him as a major champion.

Burns and Adam Scott were the final pairing to head out on Sunday. They teed off at 2:15 ET, but after Burns and Scott went +2 thru seven holes, play was suspended due to weather. Rain and lightning hit the course, but play resumed a couple hours later.

Sam Burns entered the final round of the 2025 U.S. Open in the lead, and it appeared he might be the only player to survive Oakmont. That was not the case.
