US Open resumes with Burns leading at rain-soaked Oakmont
American Sam Burns clung to a one-stroke lead over Australia's Adam Scott as Sunday's final round of the 125th US Open resumed following a storm delay at Oakmont.
Burns, seeking his first major title, was on two-under par and Scott, the 2013 Masters winner, was on one-under par for the tournament through seven holes when play was halted for dangerous weather.

Play was stopped at 4:01 p.m. (2001 GMT) and resumed at 5:37 p.m. after a delay of 96 minutes.
Course workers used squeegees to brush standing water off greens and fairways in a bid to keep the course playable as well as stop water from trickling into bunkers.
Burns and Scott were each two-over on their round at the eighth tee when play was stopped.
England's Tyrrell Hatton and Norway's Viktor Hovland shared third on one-over with Mexico's Carlos Ortiz and American J.J. Spaun sharing fifth on two-over.
With 11 holes remaining for the leaders in the final pairing, they were racing sunset to try and decide a winner without going to a Monday finish.
In US Open history, there have been two Monday finishes caused by storms and not a playoff -- 2009 at Bethpage Black when Lucas Glover won and 1983 when Larry Nelson won at Oakmont.

McLaughlin-Levrone runs 48.90 to capture second 400-meter national title
EUGENE, Ore. -- Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone won her second U.S. title in the 400-meter flat Saturday, running the oval in 48.90 seconds to secure a spot in the race at world championships later this summer. McLaughlin-Levrone, a four-time Olympic gold medalist and the world record holder in the 400 hurdles, has been focusing on the flat race this season. She beat Isabella Whittaker by .31 seconds to improve to 6-0 lifetime in 400-meter finals. McLaughlin-Levrone also won the national title in 2023, but missed worlds due to injury. This marked the 25-year-old's third time cracking the 49-second mark in the 400. It was her best time of the season, though she came up short of both her personal best (48.74) and the American record (48.70) set by Sanya Richards-Ross in 2006. That record figures to be in jeopardy in Tokyo in September on the same track where McLaughlin-Levrone won her first Olympic hurdles title four years ago. But she is no sure thing to win. Two runners — 2019 world champion Salwa Eid Naser and defending world and Olympic champion Marileidy Paulino — have run faster this year than McLaughlin-Levrone did in Saturday's final at Hayward Field. 'It just takes reps,' McLaughlin-Levrone said. 'I'm grateful for this opportunity, grateful to be on the team, grateful to be healthy, grateful to God that I'm here.' McLaughlin-Levrone also has two Olympic gold medals in the women's 4x400 relay. Jacory Patterson won the men's 400 in 44.16 seconds to earn a spot on his first outdoor world-championships team.
