Sam Burns leads the US Open - Scott on the hunt for the title!

Oakmont, Pennsylvania, USA - in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, it is hot! Sam Burns, the 28-year-old Golfstar, remains at the top of the field even after the third round of the US Open. With a solid round of 69 strokes, a blow under par, he has established himself on -4 overall. In addition to three birdies, however, he was also able to write down two bogeys. Burns, who is currently in 22nd place in the world rankings and has already won five titles on the PGA Tour, is looking for his first major victory. Last week he achieved second place at Canadian Open when he was defeated by Ryan Fox. In its current form, he seems ready to assume the challenge of how La Presse reports

But the competition doesn't sleep. J. J. Spaun, 34 years old and in 25th place in the world rankings, follows Burns closely on his heels. With an overall stand of -3, he only has one blow behind and is extremely optimistic because he states to play the best golf of his career. Another face that should be kept in mind is Adam Scott. The experienced Australian, who won the Masters in 2013, decided his round with an impressive 67, the best of the day, and also gets up -3. Scott will play together with burns in the last duo in the final round and, if he continues to play like this, could be the second oldest winner of this tournament - and that at 44.

who else is in the race

Viktor Hovland is currently in fourth place with a behind three strokes. The Norwegian did well and could also mix up the field while the highly expected final round is coming up. Scottie Scheffler, number 1 in the world, has placed itself on +4 with a round of 70 strokes and is now in 11th place, eight blows behind Burns. For Scheffler, it will be a challenge to reconnect in the upcoming rounds, while Rory McIlroy lies on the 49th place at +10 and described his performance as "very average". McIlroy, who has to fight with the motivation after his Masters victory, has achieved three bogeys in the last five holes and is pushing for patience on the tricky course of Oakmont.

The performance of Nick Taylor, the best Canadian in the tournament, will also be exciting. He has the same score as Scheffler and has shown himself stable in the first rounds with 73, 71 and 70.
