Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and two-time major winner John Rahm took very different paths to a tie for seventh at the U.S. Open.

Scottie Scheffler’s run at the US Open looked shaky early, but once again, the world number one rallied and even briefly had a shot on Sunday. Scheffler was four over par after 36 holes at Oakmont, flirting with the cut in a way we haven’t seen at a major since the 2022 PGA Championship.

Scottie Scheffler battled his way to a 1-over 71 at the U.S. Open. That was a slight improvement on his first-round 73 but still not the type of performance that’s made him the game’s dominant player the past three years.

Scheffler, despite not having his best stuff, grinded out a 1-over-par 71 in Friday’s second round to keep himself in contention, at 4-over par, to win his second major of the year, and the third leg of a career Grand Slam. He spent much of the day hovering around the cut line, which was projected to be 5-over while he was playing.

Scottie Scheffler does not appear pleased with how things are going for him at the US Open, even though he'll comfortably make the cut.

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler told reporters that he hasn't really had his swing over the first three rounds of the U.S. Open, which has featured him shooting four-over.

Scheffler is a ridiculous +275 favorite to win this week’s U.S. Open at Oakmont, which means he’s closing in on Tiger Territory. A win this week and we could see the 28-year-old around +200 for the final major of the season, The Open Championship, in July.

Sam Burns revealed the role that his friend, Scottie Scheffler, has played in his career, including his status as the 54-hole leader of the 2025 U.S. Open.

Scottie Scheffler may be one of the best golfers in the world, but even he found himself humbled by the rigours of Oakmont Country Club by the end of the US Open on Sunday. Scheffler won the PGA Championship earlier this year and is a three-time major champion,
