Final round of U.S. Open enters rain delay after torrential downpour
The 125th U.S. Open from Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa., has been delayed by dangerous weather.
Players have resumed practising and the USGA is targeting 5:40 PM ET to resume play, per the NBC broadcast.
Sam Burns holds the lead at 2-under through seven holes and is battling it out in the final pairing with Adam Scott in second place at 1-under, as they both search for their first career major victory.
A torrential downpour soaked the course and play was officially suspended as of 4:01 PM ET, right after Burns and Scott carded fours on the par-4 7th.
Viktor Hovland and Tyrrell Hatton, both also in search of their first majors, were tied for third at 1-over, just ahead of the leaders on the ninth hole.
J.J. Spaun came into Sunday in third place, but bogeyed five of the first nine holes to drop to 2-over.
