Scheffler primed to win first U.S. Open
OAKMONT, Pa (WKBN) – Scottie Scheffler is currently ranked number one according to the Official World Golf Rankings and has his eyes on the 125th U.S. Open Golf Championship at Oakmont Country Club next. Watch above for an interview with Scheffler and highlights from his practice rounds! 'I remember coming here and thinking that was really fun, really cool to be playing the U.S. Open,' said Scheffler. 'It's my first major and was maybe my third start on the pro tour at the time, those are very cool experiences.' Scheffler's best performance at the U.S. Open came in 2022 as he tied for 2nd with Will Zalatoris. 'This golf course, there's not many trees out there, but there's so many bunkers,' said Scheffler. 'I don't really know if there's a golf course you can necessarily just overpower with kind of a bomb and gouge type of strategy, especially with the way the rough is. You have to play the angles.' The 125th U.S. Open is Scheffler's seventh time playing the tournament. Scheffler first qualified for the tournament in 2016 and was a low amateur in 2017. 'This is probably the hardest golf course that we'll play, maybe ever, and I mean, that's pretty much all it is,' said Scheffler. The World No. 1 ranked golfer already has won three tournaments in 2025. His wins this year include the 2025 PGA Championship in May at Quail Hollow Club. 'I'm going to try to hit the green, whether it's a three-order driver from that back tee, it depends on wind direction, but basically you're going to try to get the ball in the green and two putt,' said Scheffler. Scheffler tees off on hole one at 1:25 p.m. Thursday, June 12. Interviews courtesy of Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
