Spaun and Adam Scott. Burns will enter the final round at 4 under. Follow live coverage here. Spaun also shot a 69 in the third round, while Scott fired a 67 and will play in the final group with Burns on Sunday. Viktor Hovland is the only other player under par at 1 under after a third-round 70. Carlos Ortiz shot a 67 and is at even par. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is tied for 11th at 4 over after a third-round 70. Get involved: live@ GO FURTHER Who can still win the 2025 U.S. Open? Analyzing the field at Oakmont Connections: Sports Edition Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms The unlikely final group of Sam Burns and J.J. Spaun tees off in the third round at the U.S. Open. Spaun lands in the right fairway after hitting 307 yards off the tee. Burns. who is the 36-hole leader at 3 under, just clips the right rough off the tee. Getty Images Rory McIlroy has spoken to the media after his round of 74. He was — naturally — asked why he has decided to skip his last six post-round media obligations at major tournaments. When quizzed on whether his silence was down to his frustrations with the course, he replies: 'No. It's more frustration with you guys.' 💬 Asked to elaborate, he says: 'I've been totally available (with the media) for the last few years. Maybe (the frustration is not with) you guys … Maybe it's the whole thing. '(The driver controversy) was a part of it, yeah. That was a part of it. But at Augusta I skipped you guys on Thursday. It's not out of the ordinary, I've done it before. I'm just doing it a little more often. 'I feel like I've earned the right to do whatever I want to do. I hope the PGA doesn't change (the rules on speaking to the media) because it's a nice luxury to have. And we have the option not to (speak to the media).' You can watch the full interview below. There's a lot of interesting stuff in there. Viktor Hovland hits his third shot off the muddy cart path. It clips a leaf off the tree and lands it on the green somehow. What a golf shot! The Norwegian will take his bogey and RUN to the second hole if that's all the damage done. Getty Images Two-time U.S. Open winner Brooks Koepka has two bogeys in the first three holes after losing a shot on No. 3. He's already at 2 over for the day, which drops him 4 over for the tournament. Viktor Hovland finds his ball in the trees to the right of the cart path on the first hole. He is talking with the rules official about taking an unplayable and measuring the two club lengths. Not an ideal start for the Norwegian. The penultimate group is off and running on Saturday at the U.S. Open. Adam Scott, who is even for the tournament, blazes a drive up the left side of the fairway, going 313 yards. Viktor Hovland, who begins the day at 1 under, hits the cart path on the right and lands in the trees. The search is on with a likely unplayable as Hovland hits a provisional ball in the fairway. Wowza! Getty Images … I think I cursed Matt Wallace. Since declaring the Englishman to officially be 'In The Mix', he has bogeyed two of his last three holes. He's dropped back to +4 and likely needs a birdie (or two) on the final two holes. Getty Images Bob MacIntyre has been playing so well all week but today looks like it could be his best round yet. He was -2 when he hit the turn and he has just birdied the big par-five 12th to claw back another shot, moving to +1 for the tournament. Very few have played the hole better this week. His drive split the fairway and then he reached the green with his second shot, an absolute belter of an approach considering he was still over 300 yards back. One tidy two-putt later and he's only four shots off the lead. Getty Images Scottie Scheffler has back-to-back bogeys after making one on the difficult par-4 ninth hole. That's his 14th bogey of the tournament. Scheffler is at 1 over for the day and 5 over for the tournament. He's really in the danger zone of being out of the hunt. Getty Images Thomas Detry has birdied the second to move back into the top ten. Detry was right near the top of the leaderboard for much of yesterday's second round, until a truly horrible finish saw him make three double bogeys on the last five holes. But the Belgian is already back to +1 and only trails Sam Burns by four. (I still think it's a truly horrific glove, however.) Imagn Images That was not what Brooks Koepka was looking for to start this round. He was just fine after two shots, on the front of the green. But he three-putted for bogey and dropped to 3 over, six shots off Sam Burns' lead. The first hole is getting a lot of players today. It looks tame enough, but we all know it's not. Imagn Images Just when it looked like Scottie Scheffler had a little momentum, he missed a four-foot par putt on the eighth hole. That one certainly could hurt when we look back on it. Imagn Images Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy finish up their rounds without much going on during moving day. Schauffele shot a 1-over 71 and is at 7 over for the tournament. McIlroy shoots a 4-over 74 and is at 10 over. Brooks Koepka's opening tee shot leaks left and looks as though it's headed for the really juicy stuff, only to come down in the first cut. Fortunate. Less fortunate for Koepka is the fact the pin is placed in the middle of the green today, which will make his approach shot more tricky than it would have been Thursday or Friday. Brooks Koepka's putter might have cooled off a bit yesterday, but he will start his round today just five shots off the pace. In Round 1, despite missing seven greens in regulation, Koepka was able to successfully get up and down five times. Friday, he was just 2-for-9 scrambling, leading to a round with eight bogeys. Koepka trailed by multiple strokes entering the third round in three of his five major championship victories. Brooks Koepka is making his way to the first tee. He's playing alongside Si Woo Kim. Getty Images Marc Leishman's third round is starting to fall apart. He just carded his second consecutive bogey after missing a 16-foot putt for par. Leishman was once 4 under for the day. Now he's 2 under, sitting at +4 for the tournament. The move is going in the opposite (wrong) direction for the Aussie. Imagn Images Scottie Scheffler was left off the tee in a bunker on No. 7 and had to pitch out into the fairway on his second shot. But he hit a beautiful third shot and made the par putt. Scheffler heads to the difficult eighth and ninth. Two pars there would be certainly appreciated. Getty Images Englishman Matt Wallace is currently -3 for the day, without a single bogey on his scorecard. That means he's +3 for the tournament with five holes left to play today. Wallace has one PGA Tour victory on his record, at the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic in 2023. His best finish at a major came four years before that, when he enjoyed a share of third at the PGA Championship. But if he can maybe make another birdie or two before heading to the clubhouse he could well find himself in the mix tomorrow.

Caitlin Clark Bracing for Tough Situation After Return From Injury
Caitlin Clark Bracing for Tough Situation After Return From Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There was a lot of anticipation leading up to Saturday's showdown between the Indiana Fever and the New York Liberty. This is after the Fever announced that Caitlin Clark was set to return after a five-game injury absence in Indiana's home matchup against the defending champs. Advertisement Clark proved on Saturday that she lives for the big moments. With the spotlights all over her, the 23-year-old turned in her best performance of the campaign. Clark dropped a season-high 32 points on 11-of-20 shooting, while also knocking down seven triples on the evening. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year also registered eight rebounds, nine assists, a steal and a block, as she led the Fever to a massive 102-88 victory against a previously undefeated Liberty side. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) during a game. Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images After the game, Clark spoke openly about how good her body felt during the game. Clearly, the quad injury that kept her out for the past three weeks was a non-issue against New York. Advertisement "My legs felt really strong, I felt in good shape," Clark said, via Michael Voepel of ESPN. "A lot of that is credit to our medical team. They have kept me in shape." "Now for me, it's just how I recover, especially with the schedule that we have coming up." Clark revealed that she is currently still on the road to full recovery after missing an extended period. The next couple of weeks will be a tough stretch for Indiana as they play six games in the span of 11 days. Clark and the Fever's medical team will use the next two days to make sure that Clark is able to recover well ahead of their next game, which is on Tuesday against the Connecticut Sun. Advertisement After all, Clark will still need to shake off some of that rust and get her conditioning back up to 100% following a lengthy spell on the sidelines. This is despite the fact that her performance on Saturday night seems to indicate otherwise.
