US Open's final pairing of Scott and Burns turns into a rain-soaked afterthought
OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — By the time the rain-soaked U.S. Open had figured out its new champion and the chants of 'J-J! J-J!' and 'U-S-A! U-S-A!' had finally quieted down, there was still golf to be played — one nearly forgotten twosome left to make its way to the 18th green. Talk about a slog. Sam Burns and Adam Scott wrapped up the waterlogged action at Oakmont on Sunday as pure also-rans, victimized by bad breaks, bad shots and an inability to handle the rain the way J.J. Spaun did in the group ahead of them to win the title. 'It was just so sloppy the rest of the way,' Scott said of the conditions on the course after returning from a 1 hour, 37 minute delay that started with the then-frontrunners on the eighth tee box. 'We must have looked horrible, both of us playing like that. But that's what can happen in these things. If you get a little off, you're just severely punished.' They came into the day with Burns in first and Scott tied for second, one shot back. Burns shot 8-over 78 to tie for seventh at 4 over. Scott had a 79 to tie for 12th, two shots behind Burns. 'I didn't adapt to those conditions well enough,' said Scott, the 2013 Masters champion. The Aussie, who made three birdies over the final six holes on Saturday to get in the final group, played those same holes in 5 over in the final round. Burns, who followed a 65 on Friday — the best single round of the tournament — with a 69 on Saturday to take the lead, made two rain-induced double bogeys on the back nine Sunday to punctuate his freefall. "Look, it's part of it," he said. 'Everybody's got to deal with it. I'm extremely proud of the way I fought out there today.' Burns' final gasp came when he made double bogey on the 15th hole after being denied relief from a waterlogged lie on the fairway. With water spraying up from the turf on his practice swing, he called one rules official, then another, asking for a drop from the waterlogged lie. No luck. So, he swung away and the ball duck-hooked to the left. He barely advanced the next shot from the saturated greenside rough. By the end of it, he was 3 over, two shots out of the lead, and the tournament was becoming a contest between Spaun and eventual runner-up Robert MacIntyre. 'I was 100% locked in on what I was trying to do,' Burns said about the fateful approach on 15. 'Ultimately, it felt like the water just kind of got in the way, and I went left. It is what it is.' Before that, on the 12th fairway, Burns took a yoga mat-sized pelt on his 122-yard approach shot. The ball sailed far to the left. He saved par there. 'I was in a divot on 11, as well,' Burns said of his first double bogey. 'It's part of it. It happens. You play enough golf, you hit it in divots, and everybody does.' Besides Spaun and MacIntyre, nobody looked quite prepared to deal with what confronted them after they returned from a delay that made some of the greens and fairways unplayable. Conditions got even trickier when the rain started again. After holing out on 18 in near silence, then signing his scorecard, Burns came out hugged his 14-month-old son, Bear — the sort of gift on Father's Day that no trophy could replace for a 28-year-old who is ranked 22nd and figures to get more chances like these. At 44, the future is less certain for Scott. He shot 38 on the front nine, somehow reamining in second place at the turn — still one behind Burns. 'It just wasn't easy out there,' Scott said. 'All things being equal, it's Sunday of the U.S. Open, one of the hardest setups, and the conditions were the hardest of the week. Thank God it wasn't like this all week.' ___

Here's why Alaska just issued its first heat advisory
Parts of Alaska are under heat advisories for the first time in recorded history, following the transition from a previous advisory system, according to officials. The National Weather Service previously issued information about high temperatures using special weather statements. However, starting June 1, the weather service permitted heat advisories to be issued in Alaska, Adam Douty, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, told USA TODAY. The National Weather Service might have implemented the new system "just to better convey the impacts" of the heat, Douty said. Hawaii and the other 48 states in the contiguous United States already use heat advisories, making Alaska the last state to switch to the warning system. Areas across the state are seeing highs in the upper 80s, according to Douty. However, further up north, temperatures dip, with areas of Alaska seeing temperatures in the 60s. The heat advisory in Alaska will be in place from 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 15 to Tuesday, June 17 at 7 p.m. local time, according to the National Weather Service. Areas in the Central and Eastern Interior, including Tanana, Fairbanks, Fort Yukon and Eagle, should expect temperatures from 85 to 89 degrees. "It'll definitely be warm, especially for Alaska's standards," said Douty. There are also flood advisories in northern parts of the state, as ice and snow in the area could melt rapidly with the heat, according to Douty. Some areas in Alaska are also under red flag warnings until 11 p.m. local time on Monday, June 16. "A Red Flag Warning means that conditions are occurring or will occur which could lead to the development of large and dangerous fires," according to the National Weather Service. Areas under red flag warnings are: Dalton Highway Summits Yukon Flats White Mountains High Terrain South of the Yukon River Julia is a trending reporter for USA TODAY.

Golf world calls out 'unfair' detail amid historic Adam Scott bid at US Open
Adam Scott has been left frustrated in his bid to create more history at the US Open after wild weather forced a lengthy delay in the final round. Scott started the day one shot behind leader Sam Burns and that's how things stayed when heavy rain saw play suspended and the pair head back into the clubhouse at Oakmont with the rest of the field, having played just seven holes. Scott - aiming to win his second career major 12 years after his famous Masters triumph - got off to a rollercoaster start with a bogey at the first. He followed that up with another dropped shot at the third but came so close to recording an eagle at the fourth when his putt from the fringe teased the cup. Scott had to settle for a tap-in birdie instead, but the Aussie dropped another shot at the sixth to be at two-under for the tournament with 11 holes to play. Burns was playing alongside the Aussie in the final group and also made a pair of bogeys in his opening seven holes, dropping shots at the second and fifth. However, the American kept his one-stroke advantage over Scott intact before the weather gods intervened. After a lengthy delay, play finally got underway, with officials hopeful they'll have enough time to complete the tournament in Pittsburgh on Sunday (Monday AEST). "Here we go squeegees, here we go!"The driving range has reopened for players to warm back are aiming for a 5:40 p.m. ET resumption of play. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 15, 2025 Scott went into the final round having already entered the US Open history books and he's chasing more records at Oakmont. The former World No.1 is only the third player ever to start with three US Open rounds of 70 or better at the tournament's most demanding layout, having fired himself into second with his stunning three-under-par 67 in the third round. At 44, Scott is also bidding to become the oldest winner of the US Open since Hale Irwin in 1990. And victory would also place the Queenslander in the history books for the longest wait by a player between their first and second major titles, following his unforgettable triumph at the 2013 Masters in Augusta. Scott is contesting an incredible 96th consecutive major tournament but faces a nervous wait to see if he can claim his second major after heavy rain wreaked havoc on the already difficult Oakmont course in the final round. Tellingly, Burns and Scott remain the only two players under par for the tournament, with many fans turning off after describing the brutally demanding course layout as 'unfair'. In the opening two rounds when the course was dry, the mercilessly undulating greens were lightning fast and punished anything that wasn't near-perfect. Coupled with the thickness of the notorious Oakmont rough and some of the treacherous pin placements, it wasn't conducive to good scoring. The softer conditions are likely to make things slightly easier in the final round but the rain and wind brings its own challenges. And the fact World No.2 Rory McIlroy shot a brilliant final round 67 and still finished on plus-seven says it all about the course. World No.1 Scottie Scheffler has only fared slightly better and was plus-five with seven holes to go when play finally did resume after the weather delay. Ryder Cup teammates Viktor Hovland and Tyrell Hatton and were the closest challengers to Burns and Scott upon the resumption, sitting three shots off the lead at plus-one. @PGATOUR I played golf all my life I love watching golf but the way Oakmont has set up I think it's unfair it's ridiculous. So I'm done watching it I'll watch a movie it's not exciting anymore.. — William Brooks (@William86459046) June 15, 2025 Ridiculous difficulty factor at Oakmont. Hope the PGA is happy Made all the pros look like amateurs Good strategy to take LIV golf tour down. Really poor decision making at the PGA. — AJMojo++$$$ (@leaffanextreme) June 15, 2025 Does anyone feel that Oakmont is setup so difficult that it is no fun to watch? From the 5 to 6 inch high grass in the rough, to the ridiculous entertainment park style green elevations and difficulty in architecture, winning there is not entirely a matter of skill. If your ball… — Paul A. Mancuso (@pmancuso) June 15, 2025 Witnessed alot of players with similar experiences firsthand on Friday. Oakmont when dry and Pins are tucked is brutal to almost unfair. BTW on somewhat related note go watch Schefflers round 2 range session. Highly entertaining — Matt Curren (@mattcurren1) June 15, 2025 with AAP
