US Open in a weather delay as rain halts play during final round at Oakmont
The final round of the 2025 U.S. Open has come to a halt.
A weather delay is in place at Oakmont Country Club, just outside of Pittsburgh, with golfers on the course for the final round of the tournament. The PGA Tour said play was stopped due to "dangerous weather."

Play was suspended just after 4 p.m. ET as rain came pouring down onto the course, and puddles began to form on greens. Spectators were pulling out umbrellas as golfers were playing through the initial start of the rainfall, but it became heavier, and officials ultimately decided to blow the horn. Golfers began to leave the course once play stopped.
The United States Golf Association announced play is scheduled to resume at 5:40 p.m. ET, which would put the delay just over 90 minutes.
It had been a pretty good weekend of weather for the third major of the year, as conditions have been mostly dry during play. Temperatures reached a high of around 80 degrees for the first holes, and the first moments of rain came on Friday night.

However, Sunday was going to be a concerning day for weather as showers were expected. The National Weather Service reported rain showers were possible in the morning and scattered showers would take place throughout the day.
Play was stopped with Sam Burns on top of the leaderboard at 2-under-par through seven holes. Adam Scott is in second place at 1-under-par. The two golfers are the only ones under par.

Scottie Scheffler Assigns Blames for Falling Short at US Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler is the best golfer in the world, but even he found himself humbled by the rigors of Oakmont Country Club by the end of the US Open on Sunday, June 15. Advertisement Scheffler, a three-time major champion who captured the PGA Championship earlier this year, finished the tournament at +4 and tied for seventh-place, five shots behind winner J.J. Spaun (-1) of the United States. Spaun was the only player to defeat the course over 72 holes, as runner-up Robert McIntyre of Scotland posted a +1 score for the event. Scheffler spoke following his final round and assigned blame for his difficulties at what is likely to prove the toughest venue of the 2025 PGA Tour season once the year concludes. Scottie Scheffler watches a shot during the second round of the US LeClaire-Imagn Images "I felt like I did some good things out there. A few more putts drop today, I think it's a little different story," Scheffler said, per the New York Post. "My first three days, I felt like I was battling the whole time. Today, I hit some shots. I hit some putts that I really thought were going in, hit some lips. It was just challenging. I was just right on the edge today. I battled as hard as I did this week." Advertisement Scheffler has three wins this year, including the PGA Championship. There is one major remaining on the 2025 schedule -- The Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland, which will be held between July 17-20. The Open remains one of two major championships, along with the US Open, that Scheffler has yet to win before completing the sport's career Grand Slam.

Scottie Scheffler Breaks Silence After Bad Day at the US Open 2025
Scottie Scheffler Breaks Silence After Bad Day at the US Open 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler failed to work his magic during the first round of the U.S. Open. He managed three birdies on the toughest course but bogeyed too many times to end up with a score of 3-over par after 18. Advertisement Scheffler was visibly disappointed with his performance, which even involved him slamming his club on the ground after a shot at the 14th hole. He believes that Oakmont is a place where having tons of strategy doesn't work. One just has to be in the present and keep hitting those shots. "It's one of those places. There's not a ton of strategy, I would say," Scheffler told reporters on Thursday. "It's just you step up there on a tee box and (are) like what club can I get into this fairway and then you try and hit that club in the fairway and if you don't, it's like all right how am I gonna get out of this rough and get the ball back into the fairway so I can have a shot at the green." Scottie Scheffler plays his shot from the tenth tee during the first round.© Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images "It's not like an overly strategic golf course where you know there's a lot of club options off the tee and stuff like that," Scheffer added. "It's just the golf course where you step on the tee box, you look at that fairway and you're like, all right, keep balling that thing." Advertisement The World No. 1 was not alone in having such a bad start. Even Bryson DeChambeau, the defending US Open champion, along with Rory McIlroy, had a disappointing start to the major. DeChambeau birdied two holes but bogeyed five, taking his score to 3-over par just like Scheffler after round one. The LIV Golf star also finished T49 after the first round. McIlroy started strong with two birdies on the back nine but bogeyed the fourth hole and double bogeyed one to finish with a score of 4-over par at T62.
