US Open 2025 Live: Third round scores, leaderboard updates, tee times and highlights from Oakmont

US Open 2025 Live: Third round leaderboard and updates from golf's third major of the season at famed Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania.

Sam Burns maintained his one-shot cushion after the third round of the US Open at Oakmont.

Burns carded a steady 69 to move to 4-under par with just 18 holes left to play in Pennsylvania.

The 28-year-old American leads by one shot over JJ Spaun (69) and Adam Scott (67). 

Viktor Hovland (70) is three off the pace in solo fourth. 

They are the only four players in the red thru 54 holes at the 125th US Open. 

Burns, Spaun and Hovland are all going in search of their first major title.

Scott is looking to add to his 2013 Masters triumph and all at the age of 44 years old. 

Should Scott win, he would become the oldest US Open champion since Hale Irwin at Medinah in 1990. 

LIV Golf's Carlos Ortiz matched Scott's best of the day 67 to move into the top five on level par. 

Tyrrell Hatton (68), also of LIV Golf, is a further shot back on 1-over par alongside Thriston Lawrence (70).

Elsewhere, Scottie Scheffler (70) remained at 4-over par, which is eight shots behind heading into the final round.

Rory McIlroy had another day to forget with a 74 and he is well down the board at 10-over par.

McIlroy spoke to a pool of reporters after the round and he made it clear he's still irritated with the media

Here's a look at the leaderboard heading into the final round of the US Open:
