Sam Burns leads the US Open after Saturday's third round, carding a one-under 69. He sits at four-under 206, narrowly ahead of JJ Spaun and Adam Scott, who are tied at 207. Scott's late birdies propelled him up the leaderboard.

Last-group playing partners Burns and Spaun traded the lead all day, a wild early exchange ending when Burns made a tap-in birdie at the fifth to match Spaun at three-under. Burns sank a seven-foot birdie putt at the par-three 13th to seize the solo lead at four-under but fell back with a bogey at 16.
