The cut line was plus-seven, which reflected the nature of how the field has handled the tough conditions.

Sam Burns will start Sunday at 4-under and with a 1-shot lead from both 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott (-3) and J.J. Spaun who, like Burns, is bidding for his first major.

Only two players have ever shot lower scores in a U.S. Open at Oakmont: Johnny Miller’s closing 63 to win in 1973 and Loren Roberts’ third-round 64 in 1994.

Two-time U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka is tied with Si Woo Kim and Sungjae Im for third place at 2-under while 2021 winner Jon Rahm is part of a five-way tie at 1-under.
