Scottie Scheffler is chasing history this week at the U.S. Open, as a win at Shinnecock would make him just the seventh player in history to complete the grand slam. But if he’s going to get that done, he’s going to have to play a lot better than he did in Thursday’s first round.
Scheffler’s up-and-down day finished with a small fist pump after making a tricky sand-save par putt on the 18th that gave him a two-over par 72 and has him just four shots back of the current leaders. The No. 1 player in the world had three bogeys, a double bogey and four birdies on his card.
