US PGA Championship 2025: final round on day four
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature
Here we are at the business end of the 107th PGA Championship, then. Somebody will most likely have to go low if they're to catch Scottie Scheffler. So is it possible on the early evidence? Nobody's gone super-low as of yet: Sam Burns has been the best of the morning starters, back in the hutch with a 67, while Xander Schauffele signed off the defence of his title with a 68. They finish the week -2 and -1 respectively. But most of the pins are accessible, so while the greens are firming up, and the wind is picking up, nothing is off the table. Share
This is Scottie's to lose. But anything can happen on any given major-championship Sunday – it's only three years since Justin Thomas won from a record-equalling seven back, after all – and there are plenty of big names lurking should the world number one somehow misplace his mojo. Thing is, it was Mito Pereira who led going into that historic day in 2022; today it's Scheffler, the world number one, who yesterday evening laid waste both the field and Quail Hollow's notorious closing stretch with some out-of-this-world, carpe-diem golf (beginning here). Still, you never know. Here's how the top of the leaderboard looked at the end of the third round …
-11: Scottie Scheffler -8: Alex Noren -7: Davis Riley, JT Poston -6: Jon Rahm, Kim Si-woo, Jhonattan Vegas
-5: Keegan Bradley, Tony Finau, Bryson DeChambeau, Matthieu Pavon, Matt Fitzpatrick

Mauricio Pochettino breaks unwanted record as USA humbled by Switzerland just a year before World Cup begins
MAURICIO POCHETTINO's nightmare start as USMNT boss continued with a thumping loss against Switzerland. The Stars and Stripes trailed 4-0 at HALF-TIME infront of an embarrassed Poch in Tennessee. 4 4 Pochettino 's side have now lost four matches on the bounce since March. The 53-year-old had declared his team had hit "rock bottom" after defeat to Canada in March. But two months on, the USMNT are enduring their worst run of form since 2007. It comes just twelve months before the country hosts the World Cup. Tuesday's humiliating defeat was also the first time since 1980 the US have shipped four goals in one half. Dan Ndoye, Michel Aebischer, Breel Embolo and Johan Manzambi were all on target for the Swiss at a stunned Geodis Park. All four goals arrived in a 23-minute flurry before the break. Pochettino's men are preparing for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which kicks off on June 15. And after making a host of changes, the Argentine admitted he might have tinkered too much. The former Spurs boss said: "First of all, I think it, of course, is our responsibility and my responsibility, the decision of the choice of the starting eleven. USA manager Mauricio Pochettino gives reaction to 2-1 loss to Canada "I think we wanted to give the possibility to the whole roster to have minutes and play for different circumstances and I think that is the risk that we took. "The combination of the starting eleven of the team, wasn't, I think, now after 90 minutes, the best. "We need to say, blame ourselves. Criticise us. Because it was my decision, and that decision didn't work, and when that doesn't work, you need to be critical with yourself." Former Chelsea star Christian Pulisic has made himself unavailable for the upcoming Gold Cup. 4 And the 26-year-old's decision has been slammed by former USA forward Langdon Donovan. After watching Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, in tears after Portugal's Nations League triumph, Donovan said: "This is what it means to represent your country. "And if you don't want to take this, as a professional soccer player and someone who gets the opportunity to wear that jersey and take it seriously and responsibly, then don't come in. "This is what it means. He's [Ronaldo] 40 years old, he played a long-a** season, he's tired, he was out there grinding and hurt himself in the process. "And I can't help but think about some of our [USMNT] guys on vacation right now, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's p***ing me off.'

2025 US Open Prediction, Best Bets & Golf Odds: Expect Strong DeChambeau Defence
US Open Betting Tips Bryson DeChambeau to finish in the top five - 19/10 Betfred Collin Morikawa to finish in the top 20 - 6/5 Bet365 The 125th US Open gets underway at the Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania on Thursday, where all eyes will be on defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, Masters champion Rory McIlroy and world number one Scottie Scheffler. Unsurprisingly, the trio make up three of the top four in the US Open market on betting sites, along with Jon Rahm, who is priced at 13/1 just ahead of McIlroy. Scheffler has won three of his last four tournaments, including a five-shot win at last month's PGA Championship, and is the favourite at 3/1 while DeChambeau, who is looking to become the first player to win successive US Open titles since Brooks Koepka won in 2017 and 2018, is 15/2. This is the 10th time in history that the Oakmont Country Club has hosted the US Open, and the last time was nine years ago when Dustin Johnson picked up the first of his two major titles. The course, which is renowned as being one of the toughest in the US, thanks largely to its hazardous bunkers, has also hosted the US PGA Championship, US Women's Open and US Amateur Championship. Backing DeChambeau to be there or thereabouts doesn't seem like a great risk and backing him at 15/2 is an interesting option, as is the 14/5 on offer for a top three finish with some golf betting sites. He has finished in the top six in the last five American majors and has been first at some point in the week in his last five starts - so could this be the tournament when he finally converts? The reigning champion won't want to give up his title without a fight, but he knows the challenges of trying to defend his crown at the testing Oakmont Country Club. So rather than back DeChambeau for the win, a top five finish at US Open odds of 19/10 is the preference. US Open prediction 1: Bryson DeChambeau to finish in the top five - 19/10 Betfred Morikawa Can Tame Tricky Oakmont Collin Morikawa has only been on the pro tour for six years but he's already accrued seven tour wins, including the 2020 PGA Tour Championship and The Open Championship 11 months later. He is one of four golfers to finish inside the top 15 in the past four US Opens, and he has the second-most top five finishes at majors since the start of 2020 with seven. The 28-year-old also currently ranks second on the PGA Tour in terms of driving accuracy, which could be essential for staying out of the impenetrable rough at Oakmont. US Open Free Bet Offers Golf betting sites are rolling out the offers for the third major of the year and there are several free bet offers available ahead of the action at Oakmont teeing off on Thursday. LiveScore Bet are giving punters a £10 in free bets for wagering on the US Open. Just bet £10 on the US Open before the first shot is played to qualify, but keep in mind the place part of any each-way bets will not count towards the staking requirements. In return, LiveScore Bet will give bettors a £5 free bet to use on any event on the sportsbook and a £5 free bet for the Open Championship. Please gamble responsibly No matter what you are betting on, it's vital to practice responsible gambling. When using gambling sites, be aware that sports betting can be addictive. Please take steps to remain in control of your time and budget. The same applies whether you're using new betting sites, slot sites, casino sites, casino apps, or any other gambling medium. Even the most knowledgeable golf punter can lose a bet, so always stick to a budget and never chase your losses. It's particularly important not to get carried away by any free bets or casino offers you might receive, both of which are available in abundance on gambling sites, but must be approached with caution. You can stay in control by making use of the responsible gambling tools offered, such as deposit limits, loss limits, self-exclusion and time-outs.

Bryson DeChambeau 'super excited' at prospect of signing new LIV Golf contract
Bryson DeChambeau is 'super excited' at the prospect of signing a new contract with LIV Golf. The 31-year-old signed a reported deal of more than $100million (£74m) to join the Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) tour. Advertisement That expires in 2026 and, despite speculation suggesting DeChambeau is ready to rejoin the PGA Tour, he hinted his future remains with LIV. View this post on Instagram A post shared by LIV Golf (@livgolf_league) Ahead of the US Open at Oakmont, where he is the defending champion, Dechambeau said: 'Next year is when (his contract) ends. 'We're looking to negotiate at the end of this year, and I'm very excited. They see the value in me. I see the value in what they can provide, and I believe we'll come to some sort of resolution on that. Super excited for the future. 'I think that LIV is not going anywhere. (Yasir Al Rumayyan, governor of PIF) has been steadfast in his belief on team golf, and whether everybody believes in it or not, I think it's a viable option. Advertisement 'I think it's a viable commercial option. Our team has been EBIDTA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation) positive for the past two years, so we're starting to grow and move in the right direction. One of the best moments of my life — Bryson DeChambeau (@brysondech) June 16, 2024 'I know my worth. I know what LIV brings to the table. And I'm excited for the future of what golf is going to be.' DeChambeau is bidding to win his third US Open following victories at Winged Foot in 2020 and Pinehurst last year, where he edged out Rory McIlroy in a thrilling finish. He has become a fixture on major championship leaderboards since his move to LIV Golf, his US Open win last year one of five top-six finishes in his last six starts. Advertisement 'I think for any golfer out here trying to win the US Open, there's just as much pressure. 'You can put as much pressure on yourself as you want. I try to look at it as there's a lot of fans out there. 'I'm excited to showcase my skill sets and try to play the best golf as I possibly can, and if that adds up to the lowest number out here, great. If not, I've got to work harder. 'That's the pressure I put on myself – performing for the fans. Advertisement 'It's been an amazing year. I'm so grateful to have won the US Open. I worked hard to win at Pinehurst and have been playing some good golf after that.'
