How Burns stayed at the forefront in Oakmont
Spaun rolled in a Birdie of 15 feet at the first and went ahead when Burns’ quirky tee shot on the next to a bogey, only to lose his outright benefit with a fallen shot on the third.
Burns did not succeed in taking advantage of the Parfive Fourth, where Span converted from five feet to reclaim his advantage, but a kick-in Birdie made after a brilliant approach in the fifth to join his play partner at Three Under.
