Scottie Scheffler Rushed U.S. Open Round to 'Watch the NBA Finals'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Scottie Scheffler is all about golf, but he's never been shy about his love for other sports. Whether it's tennis, hockey, or basketball, he's always kept an eye on the biggest moments. That is especially true of his beloved Dallas Mavericks. After his PGA Championship win last month, Scheffler was spotted wearing a Dallas Stars hoodie, showing his unwavering support for his hometown team. From the fairways to the hockey rink 🏌️♂️ Fresh off his win at the @PGAChampionship, Scottie Scheffler is taking in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final! #StanleyCup — NHL (@NHL) May 22, 2025 But his most memorable fan boy moment came back in 2016, when he media member asked about a story of a young Scheffler rushed his U.S. Open round. Scheffler laughed as he recalled the story during his press conference on Tuesday. "This year's Finals is probably not going to affect my schedule as much (laughing)," referencing the Mavericks play-in tournament exit. "I think Golden State was playing Cleveland last time in the Finals. "I really wanted to watch that because you had LeBron playing Steph," he added.

(Photo by) More Getty Images The 2016 NBA Finals was one for the ages. The Cleveland Cavaliers, led by LeBron James, pulled off the greatest comeback in Finals history, overcoming a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Golden State Warriors in Game 7. LeBron's iconic chase-down block on Andre Iguodala and Kyrie Irving's clutch three-pointer sealed the win, bringing Cleveland its first-ever NBA championship. Just like other Mavs fans Scheffler confessed, "Ever since the Mavs traded Luka, I've been a little bummed watching the NBA." "Hurts a little bit still. We'll have to regroup and get ready for next season for the Mavs." A look at Scottie Scheffler's 2016 rush Back in 2016, Scheffler was just 19 years old, a University of Texas sophomore, playing in his first major championship. He had just posted a one-under 69, technically leading the clubhouse at Oakmont. But with weather delays disrupting the round, he rushed through a 2½-foot par putt on his final hole to ensure he finished before play was suspended. "Probably should have been a little more cautious," he admitted, though the putt dropped. He had woken up at 4 a.m. to tee off at 6:45 a.m., and the last thing he wanted was another early wake-up call just to finish a hole. But more than anything, he wanted to stay up for the Cavaliers-Warriors game. "I love the NBA," he said.

(Photo by) More Getty Images Fast forward to 2025, and Scheffler is no longer an amateur rushing through rounds to catch a basketball game. He's the World No. 1, a three-time major champion, and the favorite to win the U.S. Open. If he pulls off the victory at Oakmont, it will be his fourth win of the season, adding to his PGA Championship, Memorial Tournament, and CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Last year, he finished T3 at the U.S. Open, just two shots behind Bryson DeChambeau. This time, he's looking to climb the mountain.

After promising start, Rory McIlroy shoots 4-over 74 in first round of U.S. Open
Rory McIlroy went to battle with the par-5 fourth hole at Oakmont Country Club, missing the fairway with his driver, struggling in the rough and somehow managing to finish with a bogey after making a tough 30-foot putt. Rory McIlroy birdied his second and third holes in the first round of the U.S. Open, and maintained that 2-under number through his opening nine. His second nine — the front side — told a different tale. Starting his day on the 10th hole at Oakmont Country Club, McIlroy shot 33-41 for a 4-over 74. His inward half included four bogeys and a double at the par-3 eighth. It could have been worse if not for a 30-foot bogey save at the par-5 fourth. An early co-leader, McIlroy was tied for 54th when he signed his card. He had plenty of company in his misery. Playing competitors Shane Lowry and Justin Rose shot 79 and 77, respectively.
