US Open final round live: Australia's Adam Scott chasing golf history
Australia's Adam Scott will make golf history if he secures a second major victory at the US Open on Monday morning (AEST).
The 44-year-old Aussie started the final round one shot off the lead after shooting three-under 67 in the third round — he was only golfer not to be over par in any of the first three rounds.

Scott has been remarkably consistent across a stellar pro career — the US Open is his 96th consecutive major — but the Aussie would desperately love a second major win to bookend his career.
Scott famously became the first and only Aussie to win the Masters in 2013 after he let a four-hole lead slip at the 2012 Open Championship.
If he wins the US Open at Oakmont, Scott will break the record for the longest ever gap between golf major wins (4,445 days), which currently stands at 11 years (4,026 days).

Scott's shaky start to final around
Adam Scott has teed off and has had a mixed start to his final round with two bogeys and a birdie.
He bogeyed the first and third holes, with his approach chip shot on the third leaving him a long way from the hole.
But Scott recovered on the par-5 fourth, nailing a massive putt from the edge of the green that nearly went in for eagle.
Scott moved to -2 and into a share of the lead after American Sam Burns bogeyed the fifth hole.
But Scott three-putted on the sixth hole to slip one shot back to -1.
Golf world cheering for Aussie
Golf fans around the world are hoping Adam Scott can somehow claim a victory that would cap off a superb career.
Golfer Cameron Percy wrote on X: 'If you're not cheering for Adam Scott tomorrow you're a bum…..there isn't a better human.'
Journalist Dan Rapaport said: 'Everyone on Tour is astounded that Adam Scott seems to gain 1-2 mph of ball speed every year as he moves deep into his 40s. A legendary figure in our sport who deserves a second major championship. What a massive day.'
Masters champion Trevor Immelman said: 'I'm pulling for Adam Scott this weekend.'
Scott said this weekend: 'Another major more would really go a long way in fulfilling my own self, when it's all said and done.'

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan back at Western Bulldogs training after apologising to teammates for behaviour
Troubled Western Bulldogs star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is a big step closer to a football return after telling his teammates he was sorry for behaviour that put his AFL career in jeopardy as he returned to the club on Monday. Seven weeks after the Bulldogs announced the 23-year-old, who hasn't played a game in 2025, was taking a 'leave of absence' to deal with 'personal issues', he was back with his teammates and even took part in a recovery session. It came after he addressed the playing group and expressed remorse for some of his actions that drew widespread criticism about his willingness to apply himself to the demands of being an AFL footballer. But having spent time at a health retreat, recent social media posts have shown Ugle-Hagan in heavy training, a strong indicating of his desire to get back to football, a desire he expressed to his teammates. He's been in contact with coach Luke Beveridge, who last week said the pair had spoken to plot a path back, likely through the VFL at some stage in the distant future. Beveridge dismissed any suggestion Ugle-Hagan, who is contracted until the end of 2026, could move to another club, declaring the former No.1 pick was 'our player'. The full path back for Ugle-Hagan remains unclear but he's expected to feature in more training sessions as he begins to reintegrate with the Bulldogs program. 'He's come back from a month of doing everything he can to sort of refocus and work out what's next in his life and the next steps, and the proposition of playing some football is there,' Beveridge said last week. 'Whether it's in the distance or whether it's a month-and-a-half away, I couldn't tell you. 'But we're hoping to have him back in it at the football club really soon and that's about all I can tell you.'

Ash Barty announces the baby news Australia has waited for
Ash Barty is celebrating the arrival of her second child. The Aussie tennis ace on Monday announced on social media she and husband Garry Kissick have welcomed their first daughter, Jordan, into the world. The Australian Open champ on Monday shared the first photos of her new bundle of joy with Jordan pictured wearing an adorable onesie and beanie. 'Welcome to the world, Jordan,' Barty wrote on Instagram. 'You are loved unconditionally and we are so grateful to have you in our arms, gorgeous girl.' The cute onesie featured the words: 'Embrace your weird'. The tennis queen in December announced she and husband Kissick were expecting their second child. They broke the news by sharing a sneaky photo that showed their son Hayden was about to get a younger sibling. 'Merry Christmas from our growing family to yours,' Kissick posted alongside a photo of Hayden in front of a Christmas tree. But a surprise was hiding in the photo with the little toddler wearing a shirt with the note: 'I'm going to be a big brother.' Barty, a three-time grand slam champion, gave birth to Hayden in July 2023. Barty, who hails from Queensland, retired from tennis in March 2022. She and Kissick were married in a secret ceremony in 2022. Barty's post on Monday was flooded with comments from Australian celebrities. Former doubles partner Casey Dellacqua wrote: 'There she is. Gorgeous Jordan. Can't wait to cuddle you soon. 'Good job Mum and Dad.' Aussie swimming champ Giaan Rooney wrote: 'Huge congratulations team'. The Australian open's Facebook page shared a note that said: 'G'day champion, congratulations Ash Barty and Garry Kissick'. Barty and Kissick met at the Brookwater Golf Club in 2016. The sporting duo immediately clicked and went public with their relationship in 2017 when they attended the John Newcombe Awards together.

GEORGIE PARKER: Labuschagne, Khawaja face axe as Australian selectors weigh changes to Test squad
Australia's loss to South Africa in the World Test Championship final might be exactly what we needed - both on the pitch and back in the selection room. The match was a different result than we all expected, but it exposed truths about our selection decisions (or delusions), our understanding of what a win can mean beyond the scoreboard, and the growing divide between sport and the people it's meant to belong to. Here are my three takeaways from the final: 1. Are our selectors scared, or do we not have depth? Once again, our top order was caught out under pressure. Even taking in to account the tougher conditions Australia had with the bat compared to South Africa, if we're as good as we think we are, we needed to be better. Australia's batting looked predictable, flat, and inflexible with no resilience. The same names keep getting picked - why? Out of loyalty, perhaps? Maybe the next in line aren't up to scratch just yet? Or maybe the selectors are keeping their blinkers on with what the future of this team looks like? Marnus Labuschagne is hanging on by a thread, Cam Green was underdone and Usman Khwaja, is banging on the door of retirement. It feels as though they're trying to put square pegs in round holes in the top order, forcing something to fit that's not quite right. We've got away with it for some time with either our world best bowling attack or individual performances with the bat, but we can't keep relying on that with a home Ashes summer looming. A longer term vision and looking at how a game was played out rather than just the result is needed. The West Indies tour couldn't come fast enough. 2. We underestimated what this win means to South Africa In Australia, a world championship win is big, but expected. In South Africa, it's something else entirely. It's rare but it also has another layer beyond the trophy we don't quite understand. This win isn't just about cricket. It's about pride. It's about belonging. It's about a country still healing from its past, and sport being one of the few things powerful enough to bring people together, even for a moment. South Africa's history with sport is complex. Once used as a symbol of division, sport is now one of the most visible ways for the country to show unity — across race, class, and language. For millions, seeing that team lift the trophy was deeply emotional. It wasn't just a game — it was a national moment. It's something we often miss when watching from afar. The weight of what a victory like this can do for a country like South Africa is immense. Temba Bavuma has gone from being called a 'quota captain' to captaining his team to a World Championship, against the best team in the world. 'For us as country here's an opportunity for us… as divided as we are at times, to forget all of that, rejoice in this moment and just be one' his said. So as flat as I am about Australia losing, a win for South Africa is a victory for something greater than the sport. 3. We're putting more and more sport behind paywalls - a nd that's a problem Maybe you didn't even watch the final. And if you didn't, chances are it's because it was locked behind Amazon Prime. This is the national cricket team playing in a world final - and it wasn't on free-to-air TV. It's becoming a pattern. The AFL's 'Super Saturday' is only available on Fox Footy or Kayo. So, if you're not paying on a Saturday, you're not watching on a Saturday. Yes, broadcasting deals fund the game. But sport is supposed to be for everyone. It's how people connect - across generations, backgrounds, and suburbs. When we move these moments behind paywalls, we chip away at what makes them special. We're not just losing casual viewers - we're losing future fans. Young kids who might have fallen in love with cricket or footy simply don't see it anymore. The diehards will always watch, but diehards aren't the ones that grow the game.
