Heavy rains suspend play at US Open, raising the possibility of a Monday finish to the final round
The final pairing of Sam Burns and Adam Scott were about to tee off on the 301-yard, par-3 eighth hole just after 4 p.m. ET when the horn blew, indicating that play was being suspended.
Heavy rain had just begun to fall on Oakmont Country Club outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as a line of imposing clouds changed direction and headed over the course.
There is now real worry that the final round may not wrap up on Sunday and could finish on Monday.
The sun will set at Oakmont at 8:52 p.m. ET and the leaders have 11 holes left to play – approximately two-and-a-half hours of playing time. The US Golf Association has not yet given an approximate time of when play could resume.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Are fans of the Boston Celtics really okay with seeing Marcus Smart as a Los Angeles Laker?
Are fans of the Boston Celtics really okay with seeing Marcus Smart as a Los Angeles Laker? There has been plenty of deserved support for the Flower Mound native in the NBA media recently. Especially given it was by no means his fault he stopped playing for the Celtics, Smart having been dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the three-team deal that landed Boston big man Kristaps Porzingis and helped secure Banner 18. But understanding how the Oklahoma State alum ended up in gold and purple will be different from seeing him play in it. Particularly if that play happens to be part of Los Angeles kicking the Celtics posteriors in what is almost certainly going to be a down year. The hosts of the CLNS Media "The Big Three NBA" podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Fears for hiker missing for over a week after traveling along difficult Grand Canyon trail
A New Jersey hiker has been missing for over a week after he headed out on a difficult trail in the Grand Canyon – where 123,000 acres are currently ablaze. Thomas Daniel Gibbs, 35, of Freehold, NJ, was last heard from on July 22 at around noon after he was believed to have been hiking in the Grandview Trail and Horseshoe Mesa that day. Concerned family and friends raised the alarm on his silence six days later and reported him missing, the National Park Service said. Officials found his Tesla Cybertruck the same day in the Grandview Point parking lot on the South Rim. He is described as a white male of 6ft 1 inches in height, with brown hair and eyes. Meanwhile, the Dragon Bravo megafire has been raging across the Grand Canyon for over a month, singeing 123,434 acres, and has only been contained to 13 percent. At least 80 structures have been destroyed, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge inside the park at the North Rim, after it was first reported on July 9. The Kaibab Lodge is also in jeopardy, reports 13 News. It swelled in size at the end of July, burning over 105,000 acres and subsequently becoming a megafire. Lightning strikes are believed to have ignited the fires, while a combination of strong winds, low humidity, and high daily temperatures spiralled their rapid expansion, officials said. The Grandview Trail is described as 'a rocky, exposed, strenuous trail' that requires hiking experience and caution, say park officials. Only experienced desert hikers are advised to take on the trail, and should come readily prepared with a detailed plan as there is no drinking water on the path. The most treacherous parts of the hike include the Bright Angel, South Kaibab, and Hermit Trails. In a statement to Fox News Sunday, the Grand Canyon National Park said that search efforts were still ongoing. 'Ground searchers extensively searched the Grandview Trail and its side drainages over the last two days. In addition, drones and search dogs from Coconino County Search and Rescue were utilized, along with high-angle technical rescue efforts near Grandview Point," the park said. 'The ongoing Dragon Bravo Fire did not hinder search efforts. Responders from Grand Canyon National Park, along with Coconino County Search and Rescue, worked collaboratively to ensure a thorough search of the area despite challenging conditions." Grand Canyon officials said that no evidence of Gibbs had been found to date and that search efforts had been scaled back in recent days because of a lack of clues and evidence to suggest he was in the greater Grandview Trail area. 'Investigations remain ongoing, and if additional clues or evidence are discovered, our search and rescue team will promptly follow up with search efforts in the field," they added. Park rangers are urging anyone who was also in the Grandview Trail area around July 22 and may have seen Gibbs or has information on his whereabouts to contact the NPS Investigative Services Branch Tip Line at 888-653-0009.

One thought on Milton Williams and every player on the Patriots defense
FOXBORO, Mass. — Once again, the New England Patriots defense was ahead of the offense at Monday's practice. The unit has made things difficult for Drake Maye and Josh McDaniels in their first year together. So now, after looking at each offensive player, let's offer one thought on every player on the Patriots defense, a group that enters Wednesday's joint practice against the Washington Commanders with high expectations after outperforming the New England offense through two weeks of training camp. Advertisement Keion White, Edge: His pass-rushing skills are showing up once again. The question is whether he's dependable enough against the run to get 70-plus percent of the defensive snaps now that the Pats' depth is better. Milton Williams, DT: He has been as advertised. Everything you'd want from your highest-paid player, and clearly their top pass rusher. Christian Barmore, DT: Slimmed down, Barmore looks noticeably quicker. That should help, considering his role looks mostly to be in pass-rushing situations. Harold Landry, Edge: There's still warranted skepticism given his 4.8 percent pass-rush win rate last season (which was the lowest among 95 qualifying edge rushers), but he projects as a full-time starter and has looked OK in camp. Khyiris Tonga, DT: The burly lineman takes up space on the interior and will be leaned on in obvious running situations to clog holes and let Robert Spillane make tackles. Jaquelin Roy, DT: Roy made a nice play during the team's scrimmage, but it has been mostly quiet for a guy trying to work his way onto the 53-man roster. Isaiah Iton, DT: A nice run stuff Monday in goal line defense helps his case, but he's likely on the wrong side of the roster bubble entering the preseason games. Jeremiah Pharms Jr., DT: He beat rookie Jared Wilson in one-on-ones Monday, but needs more where that came from in the coming weeks. Joshua Farmer, DT: Has lots of promise, but has been sidelined for the majority of camp. Jahvaree Ritzie, DT: His athletic testing before the draft was off the charts, and these preseason games will be big for him to try to earn a roster spot. David Olajiga, DT: Each player's goal is different entering the preseason, and Olajiga is fighting for a spot on the practice squad. K'Lavon Chaisson, Edge: One of the biggest surprises of camp, Chaisson keeps making life difficult for rookie tackle Will Campbell. Truman Jones, Edge: Hasn't gotten a lot of buzz from the media, but coaches are seemingly impressed, and he was an offseason award winner. Bradyn Swinson, Edge: There are going to be ups and downs for any rookie, but Swinson's highs show he has the potential to be a starter. A good camp for him so far. Advertisement Elijah Ponder, Edge: Dominated one-on-one reps Monday, which is a good sign for his progression to come. Robert Spillane, LB: Not the most athletic guy, but he's always in the right spot and seemingly always around the ball. Christian Elliss, LB: It hasn't been perfect, but he has been good enough to be penciled in as a starter next to Spillane. Anfernee Jennings, LB: Still a dominant run stuffer, but it's just a question of how much this coaching staff will play him. Jahlani Tavai, LB: I wonder if the Pats might be trying to shop Tavai since his role looks to be diminished in this defense. Jack Gibbens, LB: This roster lacks linebacker depth, so Gibbens' spot seems safe. Marte Mapu, LB: It's been a rough camp for a guy who entered on the bubble. He needs a great preseason to make the roster. Cam Riley, LB: He has been the clear No. 6 linebacker, so unless he lands a big role on special teams, it'll be hard to justify a spot on the 53-man roster. Monty Rice, LB: His familiarity with Mike Vrabel should help his chances, but he'll need a strong preseason to make the team. R.J. Moten, LB: He just signed with the team last week, so he's the longest of long shots. Christian Gonzalez, CB: No surprise, but he was dominant before suffering a hamstring injury last week. Now the question is how much time he'll have back at practice before the season opener. Carlton Davis, CB: It has been a weird camp for him so far, getting activated from the PUP list in late July, but missing almost every practice since. Marcus Jones, CB: He still projects to get plenty of playing time in the slot, but Vrabel has been clear that he wants Jones to focus on being a great punt returner. Alex Austin, CB: Nicknamed 'Double A' by Vrabel, Austin had an interception in the scrimmage and will likely make the 53-man roster. Advertisement DJ James, CB: He's been the biggest riser of the secondary so far, and if rosters were due today, he'd be on it. Isaiah Bolden, CB: A full-time move to the slot could help him, but he looks buried on the kick return depth chart, which might've been his best path to a roster spot. Monday pad work 😤 — New England Patriots (@Patriots) August 4, 2025 Brandon Crossley, CB: A nice play during the scrimmage stood out as he seems to get better each week. It could set him up for a practice-squad spot. Marcellas Dial, CB: He was carted off the practice field Monday with what looked like a serious injury, further thinning out the team's cornerback depth. Miles Battle, CB: He has an intriguing athletic profile (he ran a blazing 4.37-second 40) and played well in his lone game for the Pats last season, so he has a chance to make the team with a good preseason. Kobee Minor, CB: Monday's practice summed up the ups and downs of rookie life. He intercepted Joshua Dobbs, but then got posterized later by Javon Baker. Jordan Polk, CB: At 5-foot-10, he might be limited to the slot. He'll try to put together some solid tape and impress teams in the preseason, considering he should get plenty of playing time. Jabrill Peppers, S: He's one of the few players who seems like he'll be a standout on defense for the third year in a row under three different Patriots coaches. Kyle Dugger, S: He's been better than last season, but it would be a stretch to say he looks like the 2023 version of himself. Jaylinn Hawkins, S: His strong play so far has reminded us why he's a great backup safety who could easily earn more time. Craig Woodson, S: Special teams have been important to his playing time and should get him a spot on the game-day roster. Marcus Epps, S: This free-agent signing is looking a bit curious now that he's their No. 5 option at the position. Advertisement Dell Pettus, S: He showed he can play last season, but the number crunch doesn't bode well for him. Josh Minkins, S: His athletic profile is strong, but it's unlikely he'll make this team, which is already set at safety. Brenden Schooler, S: Special teams is always his focus (and where he'll shine), but he'd like to contribute more defensively. (Photos: Eric Canha / Imagn Images)
