US Open golf: final round on day four at Oakmont – live

Philip Barbaree signs for a final round of 82. At +24, he’s certain to finish rock bottom, 66th in a weekend field of 66. But he’s smiling broadly anyway, because this is the culmination of the biggest week of his career. The 27-year-old from Louisiana made it to Oakmont via local and final qualifying. He’d only played in one US Open previously, and missed the cut at Shinnecock Hills in 2018. In fact until this week, he’d never made a cut on either the PGA or Korn Ferry tours, playing mostly these days on the PGA Tour Americas. But on Saturday morning – after being left to stew as a result of Friday evening’s weather suspension – he made the par he needed on the 9th (the second-hardest hole in the second round) to squeak inside the cutline with a round of 71. SO this is the result of his life so far. He’s clearly enjoyed the week, and gets the crowd onside by putting out with a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball shirt draped over his shoulders. Then he embraces Chloe, his wife and caddie. Sweet scenes, and here’s to the pair of them making it to another major soon.
