Adam Scott’s bid for a second major win has ended in heartbreak as the Aussie endured an absolutely brutal final round of 8-over par to fall out of contention.

Australian Adam Scott, the veteran golfer, is the fan favorite to win this year’s U.S. Open and add another major trophy to his cabinet. He is one shot behind leader Sam Burns, who sits at 2‑under par through seven holes. To give him a boost in the final round, an unexpected guest graced the course.

Adam Scott did not let his bad fourth round stop him from showing respect for JJ Spaun, who won the 2025 US Open in incredible fashion.

Adam Scott believes he needs another major title to boost his World Golf Hall of Fame credentials and while the Australian was in the hunt during Sunday's final round at the U.S. Open his challenge faded as conditions became tougher in heavy rain.

Adam Scott is not only drawing attention for his play during the U.S. Open but his unique outfit choice as well. Like other PGA Tour events, Scott's hat and shirt at the US Open have the same red logo, but some fans are not familiar with the golfer's sponsor choice.

Everyone's favorite Aussie, Adam Scott, is in a strong position after the first 54 holes of the U.S. Open. Not only is he tied for second place, just one stroke behind leader Sam Burns, he is also the only player in the top 10 who has the considerable advantage of knowing what it feels like to win a major championship.

Adam Scott is contending for the US Open title this week at Oakmont, which very few expected. He knows this could be his last major chance.

While only a half dozen players remain in realistic contention for the national championship, one has captured the crowd's imagination above all others: Adam Scott, chasing his first U.S. Open victory in his 24th try.

In the end, even “old-man-par” would have fallen just short as too many tussles with Oakmont Country Club’s gnarly rough denied Adam Scott a career-defining second major at the US Open.
