Summary

Sheriff's Deputy Sam Burns has the solo lead after 54 holes at the 2025 U.S. Open! Andy and Brendan made it back from Muddy-mont and recapped a Saturday filled with slips and slides on and off the course. They talk Adam Scott turning back the clock and contending at his 24th U.S. Open, J.J. Spaun's inability to go away, and a loitering Viktor Hovland despite struggles off-the-tee. Scottie Scheffler is deemed "too far back" to win the title after 72 holes, but Cameron Young is a potential dark-horse contender following his best iron play of the year. Rory spoke to the media about speaking to the media, opening a discussion on his week as a whole. Finally, Jason Day shared he roots for half of the AFC North and an ad read sends things off the rails heading into Sunday.
