Sam Burns' Message on Donald Trump Resurfaces During US Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Sam Burns has had a stellar week at the U.S. Open, but the PGA Tour golfer is used to playing with high-profile partners. With Burns in contention to win the U.S. Open, fans pointed to an old Instagram post Burns made last fall.

Sam Burns was controversially not allowed a drop from standing water on the 15th hole while tied for the lead at the US Open. The Louisiana man had casual or 'temporary' water under his feet on the fairway and believed his ball was also in a wet area so asked for a free drop.

Scheffler, despite his struggles, played well enough to reach the weekend, as did Rory McIlroy, who birdied No. 18 to close at 6-over before continuing his bizarre anti-media petulant pouting campaign and blowing off interview requests.

At 44, Australia’s Adam Scott has emerged as a sentimental title favourite for the 125th US Open crown though he sits one stroke behind Sam Burns in shared second place with day one leader JJ Spaun.

Sickened Sam Burns has spoken out on the hugely-controversial decision which finally blew apart his US Open dream. The American star was at the centre of a massive drama in the final stages at Oakmont and seemed to be the victim of a hotly-contested call from tournament officials.

Sam Burns revealed the role that his friend, Scottie Scheffler, has played in his career, including his status as the 54-hole leader of the 2025 U.S. Open.

Sam Burns' wife Caroline Burns and the couple's son Bear are at the center of the PGA Tour golfer's pursuit of the U.S. Open title at Oakmont. Sam's wife has been journeying with him long before the golfer was competing at majors.

The US Open at Oakmont Country Club is back after a lengthy rain delay, with Sam Burns clinging to the lead. Burns entered the day with a one-shot advantage over fellow American JJ Spaun and the Australian Scott.
