Adam Scott remains in US Open contention after two steady rounds of 70 at Oakmont, placing him tied for fourth and just three shots off the lead. At 44, the Australian calls his approach “old-man par golf,” but believes his form is strong enough to win another major.

With 96 straight majors under his belt, Scott—winner of the 2013 Masters—is chasing a second career major and says big events are now his only focus. Despite no recent wins since 2020, he feels his game has quietly improved over the past few weeks.

Staying mostly in the fairway has kept his rounds stress-free, and while others have surged then stumbled, Scott’s calm consistency is keeping him in the hunt. Rain-softened greens may further boost his chances heading into the weekend.
