Here are the golfers to watch as the U.S. Open gets underway at Shinnecock Hills on Thursday:
Scottie Scheffler
Never mind that he hasn’t been his dominant self this year and recently showed frustration at the Memorial as he struggled, Scheffler has been ranked No. 1 in the world for three years and has won 14 times since the beginning of 2024 — seven in ’24, six in ’25 and once earlier this year. This is the first try for Scheffler at winning the career Grand Slam, the U.S. Open the only major championship trophy missing in his man cave back in Texas. Scheffler is not to be counted out. Shinnecock is very much about ball striking and few are better at that than Scheffler.
