When one door closes, another door opens. Or, in golf terms, when one golfer collapses, another one sneaks out with a win. In this case, those golfers were Adam Scott and Ernie Els, respectively, at least when it comes to the 2012 Open Championship.

Adam Scott is making his presence felt at the 2025 US Open, entering the third round as the most consistent player in the entire field at Oakmont Country Club.

Adam Scott believes he needs another major title to boost his World Golf Hall of Fame credentials and while the Australian was in the hunt during Sunday's final round at the U.S. Open his challenge faded as conditions became tougher in heavy rain.

While only a half dozen players remain in realistic contention for the national championship, one has captured the crowd's imagination above all others: Adam Scott, chasing his first U.S. Open victory in his 24th try.

Scott made just a single bogey during a third-round 67 Saturday that vaulted him into a share of second place, just one shot behind leader Sam Burns. Scott will play in the final group Sunday at Oakmont as he looks to set the record for the longest gap (12 years) between a player’s first and second major titles.

Adam Scott says he “paid the price” for poor driving and was “just so sloppy” as his hopes of a second major were blown apart on a horror back nine at the US Open.

And his recent play hadn’t hinted necessarily that Oakmont would be the place where Scott would shine. In 11 starts on the PGA Tour in 2025, he has made nine cuts but hasn’t finished better than T-15 at the Sentry. He currently ranks 98th in FedEx Cup points.

There are fans watching this 2025 U.S. Open who only know Adam Scott as a good-looking golfer with a better-looking swing who happens to share his name with a famous actor. They weren't around the game -- or some,

Adam Scott is one shot out of the lead heading into the final round of the U.S. Open. The 44-year-old Aussie is the only player in the top 10 at Oakmont who has won a major.

The U.S. Open has turned into a sprint through the soggy fairways of Oakmont following a downpour that caused a delay of 1 hour, 37 minutes
