WATCH: Sam Burns discusses third round at U.S. Open at Oakmont
Sam Burns speaks to reporters following the third round of the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club Saturday, June 14, in Oakmont, Pa.
The final round of the 2025 U.S. Open was halted for 90 minutes for inclement weather on Sunday, June 15, before play was resumed shortly before 5:40 p.m ET.
A weather delay was in place in the afternoon at Oakmont Country Club, just outside of Pittsburgh, as golfers were on the course for the final round of the tournament. The PGA Tour said play was stopped due to “dangerous weather.”
Play was suspended just after 4 p.m. ET as rain came pouring down onto the course, and puddles began to form on greens. Spectators were pulling out umbrellas as golfers were playing through the initial start of the rainfall, but it became heavier, and officials ultimately decided to blow the horn. Golfers began to leave the course once play stopped.
It had been a pretty good weekend of weather for the third major of the year, as conditions have been mostly dry during play. Temperatures reached a high of around 80 degrees for the first holes, and the first moments of rain came on Friday night.
However, Sunday was going to be a concerning day for weather as showers were expected. The National Weather Service reported rain showers were possible in the morning and scattered showers would take place throughout the day. Weather could still be a factor through the rest of the round as the goal is to be able to finish the tournament before nightfall.
Play was stopped with Sam Burns on top of the leaderboard at 2-under-par through seven holes. Adam Scott was in second place at 1-under-par. The two golfers are the only ones under par.
