Everyone's favorite Aussie, Adam Scott, is in a strong position after the first 54 holes of the U.S. Open. Not only is he tied for second place, just one stroke behind leader Sam Burns, he is also the only player in the top 10 who has the considerable advantage of knowing what it feels like to win a major championship.
