At the treacherous Oakmont Country Club, the final round of the U.S. Open happened on Sunday. That event proved to be an epic battle between the best golfers in the land. On Sunday, Sam Burns turned to the field with a blistering 4 under par performance. He’s clearly intent on claiming his first title as a major championship winner. J.J. Spaun and Adam Scott were a shot back, both at 3 under. Orchard and Near were both excitedly contending for their first big wins. The only other golfer to finish under par, Viktor Hovland, proved his talent and mental toughness on the penal, difficult course.
Sam Burns came into the final round with just a one-shot lead. It’s easy to forget the white-knuckled pressure of that moment as he doggedly sought to write his own place in history. With every hole, the pressure increased, as he tried to hold off a deep field of elite competitors. The Oakmont course, known for its challenging layout and demanding greens, tested every golfer’s ability to adapt and perform under pressure.
J.J. Spaun and Adam Scott, both at 3 under par, were eager to capitalize on any mistakes made by Burns. Spaun, especially, has been the most impressive player this season and was dead set on winning his first big championship. Adam Scott, an experienced contender, has a track record of coming close to winning major championships. He is now positioned to take a bold step.
Viktor Hovland, although trailing behind at just under par, remained in the mix among the top contenders. His ability to perform at a high level day after day during the tournament was key in keeping him within range of the leaders. The championship battle was extremely tense as these four athletes marched down the fairway, each knowing that every shot mattered.
By the time they reached the sixth and final round, it was clear watching at home that the pressure was building among the competitors. The challenge of the Oakmont course was such that even the most minor of mistakes would often lead to absurd swings in score. Just four golfers were able to finish under par for the tournament. That was emblematic of how brutal this year’s U.S. Open was.
The buzz of enthusiasm that preceded this year’s tournament was electric, and golf fans were gifted an incredible display of skill and creativity. The buzzer beater final round match from 2025 has been playing to packed arenas worldwide. These athletes exceeded human performance on one of their sport’s toughest and most brutal courses.
