Jon Rahm admits LIV’s smaller fields help his top-10 streak
Ahead of 2025 U.S. Open, Jon Rahm acknowledges the smaller field size in LIV Golf contributes to his consistent top 10 finishes.
USGA
There’s one round left in the U.S. Open at the Oakmont Country Club and even though Sam Burns maintained the one-shot lead he held at the beginning of the third round on June 14, numerous contenders behind him are ready to step into the breach should he falter.
So far, the five-time PGA Tour winner has been rock-solid since a second-round 65.
Burns shot 69 to finish at 4-under-par 206, one shot clear of J.J. Spaun (69) and Adam Scott (67, matching the day’s low round with Carlos Ortiz). Viktor Hovland (70) is 1-under and Ortiz is even par.
US Open leaderboard
There are seven players within six shots of Burns.
One who bears watching is the 44-year-old Scott. He and world No. 1-ranked Scottie Scheffler (4-over and tied for 11th) are the only players among the top 20 on the leaderboard who have won major championships. Scott won the 2013 Masters and while he didn’t play the U.S. Open well at the start of his career, he’s made 11 of the last 14 cuts and posted three top-10 finishes.
