When one door closes, another door opens. Or, in golf terms, when one golfer collapses, another one sneaks out with a win. In this case, those golfers were Adam Scott and Ernie Els, respectively, at least when it comes to the 2012 Open Championship.

Adam Scott is making his presence felt at the 2025 US Open, entering the third round as the most consistent player in the entire field at Oakmont Country Club.

Scott made just a single bogey during a third-round 67 Saturday that vaulted him into a share of second place, just one shot behind leader Sam Burns. Scott will play in the final group Sunday at Oakmont as he looks to set the record for the longest gap (12 years) between a player’s first and second major titles.
