Canada's Conners withdraws from US Open due to injury
OAKMONT, United States: Corey Conners withdrew from the US Open just before Sunday's final round at Oakmont due to injury, the US Golf Association said. The 33-year-old Canadian stood on eight-over par 218 after 54 holes, 12 strokes off the lead, and was to have played alongside New Zealand's Ryan Fox. Conners hurt his right arm hacking out of the rough on the 11th hole in Saturday's third round. The world number 21 is listed as playing in next week's PGA Tour signature event, the Travelers Championship. Conners had his best US Open finish last year at Pinehurst when he shared ninth. His only other major top-10 efforts include four over the past six years at the Masters, where he shared eighth in April. — AFP

Tyrrell Hatton cool but Matt Fitzpatrick rages as Sam Burns keeps US Open lead
If a quiz question was to ask which English golfer a) lacerated the setup at the US Open, as another b) fired himself into contention before offering a much calmer assessment, the answers from the vast majority of observers would be obvious: a) Tyrrell Hatton, b) Matt Fitzpatrick. The reality at Oakmont was the complete opposite. First to Fitzpatrick. The 2022 champion finds himself unimpressed by this golfing brute, as he was happy to declare after a third round of 72 left him nine over par. 'I personally don't think it's fair,' said the Yorkshireman. 'I think there's hard that's fair and there's just straight unfair. And I just think that this falls into that [second] category, really. I just don't think it necessarily rewards good shots and I think it penalises bad shots too harshly. You can be more penalised for hitting a shot one yard off the fairway, six inches off the fairway, than you can 40 yards off the fairway. And obviously, when you've got the greens as extreme as these, it amplifies any miss. Advertisement 'I get that it's the same for everyone and you have got hit good shots. Obviously, it always sounds like sour grapes when a player complains. I am a huge fan of the USGA [the organising US Golf Association], I've played 11 US Opens now, I think, and I feel like I've experienced what is hard and fair and what is hard and unfair over the course of my career now. I just feel like this falls into that category of unfair.' Related: US Open golf 2025: Sam Burns keeps hold of lead at Oakmont – as it happened Xander Schauffele had remarked in the week that television viewers relish the finest golfers in the world shooting eight over par. 'I completely agree with that,' said Fitzpatrick. 'I love that. I think that's what makes it interesting from a normal week shooting 25 under. I just feel like there's a line that could be very dangerous. I'm all for an over-par winning score and I am first to say that I love that, but I think when you do have three guys under par after two rounds, I think that kind of tells you a lot about what the golf course is doing. It is a tough golf course but I think I don't necessarily feel like it needed to be made more extreme than it is.' This was out-Hattoning Hatton. In previous times, Hatton has lambasted Augusta National and called for an unremarkable hole in Abu Dhabi to be 'blown up'. Ranting, raving and gesticulating are Hatton specialities. All, it has to be said, while producing some exceptional golf. Advertisement In Pennsylvania, Hatton finds himself just five from the lead after a fine 68 moved him to one over par. Hatton's only trouble came at the 15th, where he found what is dubious territory in thick rough of the bank of a bunker. 'I don't see the need to have so much rough in the side slopes of the bunkers,' he said later. Beyond that, Hatton was a picture of contentment as he pursues a potentially life-changing maiden major win. 'That's how they've set it up this year, and it doesn't matter if I don't agree with it or every player in the field doesn't agree with it,' he added. 'Everyone has to deal with it. It's just how it is. Today was great.' A smiling, chipper Hatton headed off for his dinner. This scrappy, slow-burner of a major is headed by Sam Burns with 18 holes to play. The 28-year-old's 69 edged him one ahead of his American compatriot JJ Spaun, who dropped at shot at the last. Spaun had Adam Scott for company at minus three. The Australian played the back nine in just 32 as he seeks a second major title, at the age of 44. He could become the second oldest US Open winner in history. Scott is the only member of the top 10 to have already won one of golf's big four. That it is a solitary success means Scott is an underachiever, in the nicest possible sense. Like Spaun, the Norwegian Viktor Hovland erred at the 18th to slide back to one under. Mexico's Carlos Ortiz is even par. The Scot Robert MacIntyre is not without hope at plus three. Scottie Scheffler is a shot further adrift after a 70. The American world No 1 dismissed footage which showed him in excited conversation with his longtime coach, Randy Smith, after round two. 'In terms of a practice session after the round, that was pretty regular,' Scheffler said. 'We're just trying to figure stuff out, out there.'

Lawrence shares sixth as second round ends at rainy US Open
OAKMONT - Thriston Lawrence sank a four-foot par putt Saturday morning to complete his storm-halted second round of the US Open in a share of sixth place at rainy Oakmont. The 28-year-old South African, halted just shy of the clubhouse by heavy rain Friday night, finished on the ninth hole to complete a four-over par 74 round and stand on one-over 141 through 36 holes. That left him level with Frenchman Victor Perez, four strokes adrift of US leader Sam Burns, who finished a round of 65 on Friday to stand on three-under 137. "Just about when I was going to take my putt, the siren sounded," Lawrence said Friday. "A bit frustrating in that sense, but those are the rules... It's an important putt. Each shot means a lot in a championship like this." American J.J. Spaun, on 138, and Norway's Viktor Hovland on 139 were the only other players below par on the formidable layout, which figures to be far more receptive in round three after an overnight drenching with rain expected to continue all day Saturday. The only other morning drama came as American Philip Barbaree sank a five-foot par putt on the ninth to shoot 71 and become the last player to make the cut, doing so on the number at seven-over 147. That earned him the chance to play alone in the first spot off the first tee at 9:12 a.m. (1312 GMT) to start the third round. Among the leaders, Burns and Spaun were set for a 3:35 p.m. tee time, 11 minutes after Hovland and Australia's Adam Scott begin in the penultimate pairing. World number two Rory McIlroy, nine strokes off the lead at 146, tees off at 10:34 a.m. with third-ranked American Xander Schauffele, the reigning British Open champion. Northern Ireland's McIlroy completed a career Grand Slam by winning the Masters in April for his fifth major title. World number one Scottie Scheffler, seeking back-to-back major titles after taking last month's PGA Championship, starts at 1:02 p.m. with fellow American Cameron Young. They were seven off the lead on 144. In all, 67 golfers made the cut to play the final 36 holes. Those missing the cut included defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, Sweden's Ludvig Aberg, past winners Wyndham Clark and Lucas Glover, six-time major winner Phil Mickelson, Gary Woodland and Dustin Johnson, England's Justin Rose and Ireland's Shane Lowry. Spectators were kept off the course until after the second round was complete, with the US Golf Association announcing that access to some spectator viewing areas will be limited due to heavy rain.
