After an unbelievable third round, Adam Scott has the opportunity to capture his first US Open title. The Oakmont Country Club is undoubtedly a difficult course to play, and this is why Scott's performance is getting so much attention. After the third game, Scott discussed his performance and acknowledged that it is an emotional time for him.

The 52-year-old stated,

"It would be super fulfilling. Everyone out here has got their journey. Putting ourselves in these positions doesn't just happen by fluke. It's not easy to do it. I really haven't been in this kind of position for five or six years, or feeling like I'm that player. But that's what I'm always working towards. It's not that easy to figure it all out."

He continued,

"But if I were to come away with it tomorrow, it would be a hell of a round of golf and an exclamation point on my career. I'm playing good, so there's no reason not to. I'm playing from the fairway a lot. I've played fairly conservative, and I haven't really been forcing the issue much. Could be a different story tomorrow. A lot can happen in 18 holes out here. But I like what I've done so far."

Adam Scott managed his first golf major win at the 2013 Masters.
