U.S. Open Final Round Suspended amid Weather, but There’s a Catch
Oakmont Country Club is playing host to the 2025 U.S. Open this week. As the final round was playing out, players were struggling mightily. Normally playing conditions are the reason for that.
That is not the case this year. The course itself is unbelievably difficult, and is playing that way. Unfortunately, at 4:01pm ET, play was brought to a halt after a sudden deluge of rain drowning the course.
The USGA blew the horn with the final group, featuring Sam Burns and Adam Scott, about to tee off on the eighth hole.
Despite the weather cell expected to remain in the area for approximately an hour, players did not head to the clubhouse.

According to ESPN’s Michael Collins, players were instead ‘held in place.’
“Players being held in place instead of bringing them back into the clubhouse. That means the USGA doesn’t need to give players a “re-warmup” on the range. The question becomes; How long can they hold before the course becomes playable again without getting cold?” Collins posted to social media.
Prior to the horn sounding, everyone on the first page of the leaderboard was having a hard time.
Burns was +2, as was Scott. JJ Spaun bogeyed five of his first seven holes to drop all the way to 2-over, five shots back of the lead.
Viktor Hovland and Carlos Ortiz were also 2-over for the final round, 1-over for the tournament, when play was stopped.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler started his day at 4-over with very little chance. But as the leaders struggled, the door opened. Unfortunately, the reigning PGA Championship winner could not get anything going with his putter.
He missed several birdie putts within 12 feet, and is 5-over playing his back nine.
It is unknown how long the final round will be delayed. Nor, is it known if play will finish on Sunday, or if we are staring at a Monday finish at the U.S. Open.
