US Open golf 2022 LIVE: Leaderboard, latest scores and updates

Justin Thomas: It’s sad LIV Golf is overshadowing US Open
The final round of the US Open 2022 is here with Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick sharing the lead at -4 at Brookline, while defending champion Jon Rahm is in striking distance just one shot behind.
Blustery, testing conditions have ensured the Country Club has shown its teeth throughout the week, with just nine players under par, including Rory McIlroy, who battled through a torrid third round to remain in contention at -1 despite opening up yesterday with a three over par score for his first seven holes. World No 1 Scottie Scheffler briefly got to -6 when he holed out from 102 yards for an eagle on the eighth, but the American fell away sharply, producing double bogey on the short 11th with two more bogeys following, though the Masters champion is just two back and primed to capitalise should the leaders slip. Among the other names to watch are home favourite Keegan Bradley, a former PGA Championship winner, who is two-under, as is Canada’s Adam Hadwin, and those at one-under and hoping to surge up the leaderboard include Sam Burns and Joel Dahmen.
“I’d be lying if I said I haven’t thought about it [winning]. It would just mean the world,” said Fitzpatrick, who could become the first non-American to win both the US Amateur and US Open. “It’s a special place for me and to go one step further and win a news US Open round here would be even more special. The US amateur was one of the biggest achievements in my career and still is, and if I won a major here it would definitely overtake it. My family are in town, I’ve got a couple of friends here as well and the family I am staying with are fun as well, so I’ll have plenty of distractions which will be good with a late tee-time. I’m excited to give myself another chance in a major just a month later, I am just really proud with the way I played.” Follow all the action from the fourth and final round of the US Open below: 1655661965 US Open 2022: Latest final round scores
Tarren comes agonisingly close to a birdie at the last but that’s still a fine round of 69 for the Englishman. This week will have done his confidence and ranking points a world of good. Tom Kershaw 19 June 2022 19:06 1655661656 US Open 2022: Latest final round scores
We’ve got to the stage where some of the players teeing off could perhaps muscle their way into contention, although it would take nothing short of a spectacular round. Seamus Power has holed a nervy 5ft putt for par at the 2nd and he’s just four shots back of the lead. The Irishman is targeting a second successive top 10 finish at the majors after an impressive outing at the PGA Championship last month.

MJ Daffue was the surprise leader at one stage on Friday. The South African endured a horrible day yesterday, tumbling way out of contention with a 78, but a birdie at the last completes a gutsy round of 69 today. He’s T38 as we stand but that could certainly get better rather than worse as this final round unfolds. Tom Kershaw 19 June 2022 18:55 1655660865 US Open 2022: Latest final round scores
It’s been tough going for Xander Schauffele, who was in contention until a 75 yesterday. He’s about to tap in for birdie at the downhill par 3 11th, though, after a magnificent tee shot that settled less than a foot from the flag. That’ll take him to +3.

A nice up and down at the short 4th gets Morikawa to +1. Davis Riley and Sebastian Munoz have also moved to that mark with early birdies. Tom Kershaw 19 June 2022 18:44 1655659694 US Open 2022: Latest final round scores
Marc Leishman has jumped up the leaderboard after back-to-back birdies at 7 and 8. He’s now at +2, where he’s rejoined by Patrick Cantlay, who’s slipped back after a sloppy three-putt at the short 4th. Tom Kershaw 19 June 2022 18:28 1655659182 US Open 2022: Latest final round scores
Collin Morikawa had a dreadful day yesterday, carding a 77 after starting in a tie for the lead. He’s back out there now and is level through his opening three holes after missing a makeable birdie putt. Tom Kershaw 19 June 2022 18:19 1655658998 US Open 2022: Latest final round scores
Tarren holes a lovely putt from the fringe at 14 for a birdie. He’s -2 for his round and now up into a tie for 34th. The Englishman, who is ranked No 445 in the world, has only ever had one top 10 finish on the PGA Tour before, and that came in a weakened field at the Puerto Rico Open in March. This is a great performance and comeback after such a disappointing day yesterday. Tom Kershaw 19 June 2022 18:16 1655658075 US Open 2022: Latest final round scores
Patrick Cantlay has endured a bit of a slump by his own high standards this year but the American is up into a tie for 11th after a fine start to his final round. Birdies at 1 and 2 have taken him to +1 and he’s managed to find the green at the tricky 3rd. Tom Kershaw 19 June 2022 18:01 1655657573 US Open 2022: Latest final round scores
Not a great start for Jordan Spieth, who pulled a 10ft birdie putt at the first and then bogeys the second after missing the green short and right at the long par 3. Thomas couldn’t hole that short one for par at the first either and has slipped back to +4. He will have the chance to make amends at the third, though, after a great blind approach that runs up to the green and settles about 15ft from the flag. Tom Kershaw 19 June 2022 17:52
