U.S. Open Sunday live updates, leaderboard: Who will win at Oakmont?
Who will win the 125th U.S. Open? Conventional wisdom says anyone within five shots of the lead entering the final round. That would include Sam Burns (-4), J.J. Spaun (-3), Adam Scott (-3), Viktor Hovland (-1), Carlos Ortiz (E), Tyrrell Hatton (+1) and Thriston Lawrence (+1). Advertisement Vegas agrees, pegging Burns, Scott, Spaun and Hovland as the only golfers with better than 10-1 odds going into Sunday's final round. History says the winner could come from way back, as Johnny Miller did in 1973 at Oakmont, though he needed a final round 63 to do it. Nothing is certain on this Father's Day, except we will be glued to all the action. Stick with Yahoo Sports for all of the updates throughout the final round of the U.S. Open.

Want to see Panthers play at home in the Stanley Cup Final? What Game 4 tickets will cost you
Fans celebrate following the Panther's second goal during the first period of Game 3 in the NHL Stanley Cup Final series at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday, June 9, 2025, in Sunrise, Fla. The Florida Panthers' first home game of the Stanley Cup Final was a memorable one. They blew out the Edmonton Oilers 6-1, playing a dominant all-around game in front of a sold-out Amerant Bank Arena crowd of 19,863 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series. If you want to be at the arena to see them continue their path toward a championship repeat, time is running out — and you'll probably need to empty your wallet a little bit. Advertisement Game 4 on Thursday, an 8 p.m. start, is the only guaranteed home game left on the schedule with Florida two wins from winning the Stanley Cup. Game 5 is in Edmonton. Should the Oilers win either of the next two games, the Panthers would host Game 6 on June 17. The cheapest ticket available on the resale market for Game 4 as of Tuesday afternoon is $429 on SeatGeek. That will get you a seat in Section 329, in a corner of the arena on the side of the ice where the Panthers will shoot during the first and third periods. If you want to get closer to the action, most resale tickets in the lower bowl are going for over $1,000 each but there are a few available in the $750-$900 range. Through eight home playoff games, the Panthers have had an average announced attendance of 19,783 per game, which is at 102.8% capacity. The listed capacity crowd at Amerant Bank Arena for hockey games is 19,250.
