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:

Lawrence misses a tiny putt

Lawrence +1 (8)

Lawrence misses a tiddler for par on 8.

That was one of the shortest putts we've seen missed all week.

It's back to back bogeys for the South African and he's back to where he started the day on 1-over par. 

That's in a tie for fifth. 

21:54
Burns joins the lead

Burns -3, Spaun -3 (5) 

Burns makes his first birdie of the day to join Spaun in the lead. 

He fires a brilliant wedge shot in to two feet on the par-4 5th.

More like it from the 36-hole leader. 

Spaun lags his lengthy birdie attempt up to the cup for a tap-in par. 

It's raining quite hard at the moment. 

21:52
Ortiz to T3

C. Ortiz Par (12)

Ortiz had 10 feet for eagle on the par-5 12th but came up short.

It's a tap-in birdie and the Mexican moves into a tie for third on level par. 

The LIV Golf man is an impressive 3-under for his round thru 12. 

21:48
Bogey for Lawrence

Lawrence Par (7)

Lawrence fails to get up and down for par on the tough par-4 7th.

It means only two players are in the red. 

Lawrence three back and tied for third with Scott, who is playing the 6th. 

21:45
MacIntyre bogey at 18

MacIntyre +3 (F)

It's a bogey on 18 for Bob Mac but it all adds up to a solid round of 69.

MacIntyre lies at 3-over par thru 54 holes. 

That will give him an outside shot on Sunday. 

21:41
Spaun leads by one

Spaun -3, Burns -2 (4) 

Spaun takes back the lead on the par-5 4th. 

He rolls home a birdie from four feet. 

Burns can only manage a par after a clumsy chip from the edge of the green.

Spieth cards a 71

Spieth (+6)

Spieth cards a 71.

He's probably too far back.

21:37
Scheffler bogey

Scheffler +5 (15)

Another bogey for Scheffler.

Just not happening for him.

Back to 5-over and looks out of it.

Bob Mac into the top 10

MacIntyre +2 (17)

Birdie for Bob Mac at the short par-4 17th. 

It moves the Scot into the top 10. 

21:29
Lawrence to solo third

Lawrence -1 (6)

Lawrence curls in a 20 footer for birdie on the par-3 6th.

The South African moves to 2-under for the round and into the red for the tournament. 

Lawrence right back in the mix.

21:28
Golden chance missed for Scheffler

Scheffler +4 (14)

Golden chance missed for Scheffler.

He stuffs a wedge from 120 yards to five feet.

His birdie attempt doesn't even hit the cup.

Story of his week so far.

Awful putting. 

21:27
Tied at the top

Burns -2, Spaun -2 (3)

Spaun caught an unfortunate lie down the left rough with the ball well above his feet.

He sprayed his layup into the rough and it led to a bogey.

Burns narrowly misses his 14-footer for birdie and it's safe par.

We're tied at the top. 

21:03
Hovland settles down

Hovland E, Scott +1 (2)

After a dodgy start, Viktor Hovland makes a safe par at the 2nd to settle any nerves. 

As does the former Masters champ. 

20:53
Koepka par

Koepka +4 (4)

Brooks Koepka has had a poor start with two bogeys in his opening four holes. 

He stops the bleeding with a par at the par-5 4th. 

20:52
Perfect start for JJ Spaun

Burns -3, Spaun -3 (1)

JJ Spaun and Sam Burns both hit the green with their approaches at the 1st, but it's the former who is closer. 

And he rolls in the birdie putt from 15 feet to tie the lead. 

Burns makes par. 

20:46
Griffin mistake

Perez +2, B Griffin +1 (2)

Ben Griffin was only 25 feet away from the pin at the 2nd, but takes three putts to find the hole. 

20:43
Hovland in for bogey

Scott +1, Hovland E (1)

Viktor Hovland finds his golf ball in the trees and takes an unplayable.  

He's still on the path playing his third and has to navigate some trees to find the green. 

And he does. 

He's very happy to two-putt for bogey. 

Meanwhile, Adam Scott three-putts from 65 feet. 

20:38
Robert MacIntyre drops back

MacIntyre +2 (13)

Robert MacIntyre makes his first mistake at the 13th.

20:37
Leader begins

Burns -3, Spaun -2 (1*)

Sam Burns and JJ Spaun are off. 

Spaun finds fairway. 

Burns' tee shot takes a few bounces into the rough. It doesn't look like it's in the heavy stuff, though...

Some start...

20:32
Bogey Perez, par for Griffin

Perez +2, B Griffin E (1)

Whilst we wait for Viktor Hovland to find his golf ball, let's check in on Ben Griffin and Victor Perez. 

Perez pays the price for finding the rough off the tee and takes a bogey.

Griffin is in for par.
