Pilot narrative

Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ, X, Y.

Aircraft X was established and cleared to land on a 4-mile final for 26R into SUS. Aircraft Y was north of the extended centerline and was told by Tower to pass behind Aircraft X. Aircraft Y turned eastbound to pass behind my aircraft but there was very little separation and Spirit Tower did not advise them to maintain any separation.
