Can Adam Scott claim his second career major and first in 12 years today? The Australian is 3/1 to win the 2025 US Open according to Sky Bet
Australian golfer Adam Scott is in with a real shot of winning his second career major and first in 12 years today, as the final round of the US Open takes place at Oakmont Country Club.
Scott, who claimed the Green Jacket at the Masters Championship in 2013, has finished in the top three at a major just once since winning at Augusta - doing so at the PGA Championship in 2018.
However, he currently sits tied for second in the leaderboard at the US Open at 3-under and is just one shot behind overall leader Sam Burns with 18 holes to play.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the odds Scott is garnering to win today and hoist his second major trophy.
At the time of writing, the 44-year-old is a 3/1 second favourite according to Sky Bet.
He is behind that of the aforementioned Burns who is a BOOSTED 7/4, while J.J. Spaun is a 7/2 third-favourite.
Viktor Hovland and Carlos Ortiz round out the five favourites in the market, with the pair priced at 13/2 and 22/1 respectively.
Sky Bet favourites to win the 2025 US Open:
Sam Burns WAS 13/8 NOW 7/4
Adam Scott 3/1
J.J. Spaun 7/2
Viktor Hovland 13/2
Carlos Ortiz 22/1

Retired New York Giants star reveals he decided to quit NFL midway through a 2023 game
The question of when to retire is one that NFL players often debate to themselves. For one player, that answer came in the middle of a game. On a recent appearance on the 'The Side You Don't See' podcast, former NFL tight end Darren Waller opened up about his thought process in hanging up the cleats. Waller - a former Baltimore Ravens, Las Vegas Raiders, and New York Giants tight end - revealed that he came to that conclusion in the midst of an early season game. The Georgia Tech product said that it was in the middle of a game he played for the New York Giants in October of 2023, when he played the Buffalo Bills. 'It was in the first quarter of the game,' Waller said on the podcast. 'We were running like this counter-lead running play, and I'm kind of like leading through the hole like I'm a fullback. 'And the play is working, but I sit down on the sideline after a drive where we ran it like three times and I'm like, "What the f–k am I doing with my life? I'm out here playing fullback. I don't even want to do this s*** anymore."' Adding insult to injury, that game ended in a 14-9 loss for the Giants when quarterback Tyrod Taylor threw an attempt towards Waller which would've been a walk-off touchdown. It fell one yard short of the receiver. Waller's mind may have been elsewhere, as he further indicated that nothing was going to change his mind. 'I'm just like looking at the moon,' Waller said. 'It's like early first quarter, second quarter. Nobody else would even really know that I'm thinking this. 'But I'm on the sideline like, "Yup, I'm going to finish this year to the best of my ability, but I'm definitely done playing after this year."' One week later, Waller would score his only touchdown with the Giants against the Washington Commanders. Later in that season, Waller would suffer a hand injury before going through a 'near-death experience' in a hotel room on the road. He recalled having trouble breathing, 'shaking uncontrollably' and then 'losing consciousness'. Waller played the last four games of the 2023 season while deflecting questions about his plans for his future career. However, the New York Post reported that he informed the team that he was considering retirement back in January. After months of contemplation and the Giants drafting a tight end in April of 2024, Waller announced his retirement.

US Open golf: final round on day four at Oakmont
Update: Date: 2025-06-15T17:00:22.000Z Title: Preamble Content: The good news for Sam Burns: he's in fine form after last week's near miss at the Canadian Open; his 65 on Friday is the best round of the week, proof positive that the five-time PGA Tour winner has the game to get the job done around Oakmont; he's one of only two players (along with Ryan Fox) yet to three-putt on treacherous greens once described by a USGA bigwig as the 'scariest in golf'. The bad news for Sam Burns: only three players out of nine have converted a 54-hole lead at an Oakmont US Open into victory; one of the biggest final-round comebacks in US Open history occurred at Oakmont (Johnny Miller winning in 1973 from six back); someone's won from seven behind going into the final round of a US Open before, Arnold Palmer in 1960, and if anyone in the field can go one better than Arnie, it's surely Scottie Scheffler. So history proves that nothing's certain. And with the leaderboard packed tight, featuring plenty of big names waiting to pounce, pretty much anything could happen if the leading trio stumble. Most of it unlikely, admittedly, but all of it possible. Here's what the top of the tree looked like after 54 holes … -4: Sam Burns -3: Adam Scott, JJ Spaun -1: Viktor Hovland E: Carlos Ortiz +1: Tyrrell Hatton, Thriston Lawrence +2: Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen +3: Robert MacIntyre, Cameron Young +4: Marc Leishman, Chris Gotterup, Scottie Scheffler, Nick Taylor, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman, Emiliano Grillo, Russell Henley, Victor Perez, Ben Griffin … and here are the tee-times (all BST).
