Scottie Scheffler's Score in First Round of US Open
Scottie Scheffler's Score in First Round of US Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler came into Thursday's first round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club as the overwhelming favorite. Advertisement While he has been playing out of his mind with three wins and nine top 10 finishes in 2025, Scheffler didn't have the opening round he was hoping for on Thursday. After his first 18 holes, Scheffler finds himself t-No. 49 with a score of 3-over. The Texas product bogeyed four of the first nine holes, and carded just one birdie on the back nine. While this is an uncharacteristic showing for Scheffler who is playing as well as anyone in the world, Oakmont is notorious for being difficult. The roughs are as thick as they come, as balls have a chance to go missing in them. In addition to the thick rough, the holes are also inherently difficult, with Oakmont's hole eight having arguably the longest par-3 in existence at 289. Advertisement If there were any doubts as to how frustrated Scheffler was, a video of him slamming his clubs should help put that into perspective. There is still plenty of golf to be played for Scheffler who is more than capable of climbing up the leaderboard, but as of right now, he is fighting to make the cut. Here is how the leaderboard looks as of writing: 1. J.J. Spaun (-4) 2. Thriston Lawrence (-3) T3. Si Woo Kim (-2) T3. Brooks Koepka (-2) T3.

Scottie Scheffler has frustrating day at the US Open to fall 7 shots off the pace
OAKMONT, Pa. — Scottie Scheffler kept coming back to the same answer when asked in different ways how a day that began with optimism at the U.S. Open turned into a 5 1/2-hour slog that left him well off the front page of the leaderboard. 'I've probably got to give myself a few more looks,' the world's top-ranked player said Thursday after a 3-over 73 left him seven shots behind front-runner J.J. Spaun . Scheffler was talking about looks for reasonable birdie putts. Those didn't happen nearly enough during 5 1/2 often arduous hours at Oakmont. As for plain old 'looks,' however, well the three-time major winner had those in abundance. Looks of frustration, like when his drive on the par-5 12th landed in the middle of a fairway that slopes massively from left to right and kept rolling, and rolling, and rolling until it was in the first cut of the course's signature ankle-deep rough. Looks of bafflement, like when his 6-foot par putt at the par-3 13th slid by, causing him to put his hand over his mouth and turn to caddie Ted Scott as if to say, 'What just happened?' Looks of anger, like when his wedge from 83 yards on the easy (by Oakmont standards) par-4 14th landed 40 feet past the hole. Scheffler slammed the club into the ground before collecting himself to two-putt. Looks of annoyance. When his 12-foot birdie attempt at the par-4 17th lipped out, Scheffler bent over, pressed his hands on his knees and appeared to sigh before standing back up. That doesn't even include what he described as 'sloppy' bogeys on the par-4 third and par-5 fourth, when he found the sand off the tee. It added up to tying his worst opening round in a major ever. He did that at the 2021 Masters, a year before he began a run of dominance not seen since Tiger Woods' prime two decades ago. Heck, he even managed a 1-under 69 at Oakmont as a 19-year-old amateur in 2016. Nine years later, Scheffler's life is very different. When he walked out of the scoring area in the late spring twilight, toddler son Bennett and wife Meredith and other members of his family were waiting. The course, however, remains the same physically and mentally draining task it has always been. There's a reason Scheffler teed off at 1:25 p.m. and didn't tap in for par on 18 until 6:52 p.m. even though there wasn't a hint of rain, or wind or any other external factors to gum up the works. There was only Oakmont being Oakmont. The fairways that Spaun navigated to a 4-under 66 in the morning dried up throughout the kind of muggy, sun-baked day that's been uncommon during Western Pennsylvania's very cool and very wet spring. Scheffler only made two putts over 10 feet, none over the final seven holes and three-putted the par-3 13th. How? He has no idea. Yet he also knows one middling round doesn't necessarily ruin his chances of winning the third leg of the grand slam. Play a little 'sharper' in the second round, and he thinks he might be in a better position come the weekend. 'When you're playing these types of tests that are this challenging, there's usually still a way to score,' he said. He might to find them sooner rather than later. In each of Scheffler's 16 PGA Tour victories, he found himself inside the top 30 after 18 holes. He'll be outside that number when he puts his tee in the ground at No. 10 on Friday morning to start his second round. 'I'll clean up some of those mistakes, a couple three putts and stuff like that,' he said. 'And I think tomorrow will be a better day.' ___ AP golf:

Scottie Scheffler shoots his first over-par opening round since last year's U.S. Open
Scottie Scheffler shoots his first over-par opening round since last year's U.S. Open OAKMONT, Pa. – Scottie Scheffler entered the 125th U.S. Open as the presumptive favorite but he struggled in the first round at Oakmont Country Club on Thursday. The world No. 1 made six bogeys and posted 3-over 73, his first over-par round in the opening round of a tournament since the U.S. Open a year ago at Pinehurst No. 2. 'The greens just got challenging out there late in the day,' he said. 'There's so much speed and so much pitch and then with the amount of guys going through on these greens, they can get a little bit bumpy. But you know that's going to be part of the challenge going in. You've got to do your best to stay under the hole and stay patient.' After a quick birdie at the second, Scheffler made three bogeys in a four-hole span starting at the third. 'The way he opened up the first few holes, you thought this was going to be a Rolls Royce performance from him,' Golf Channel's Paul McGinley said on 'Live From.' 'He's not been himself at all today. His stats are bad and he's hit a lot of poor shots for him with some uncharacteristic mistakes.' Scheffler hit just 7 of 14 fairways, 11 greens and was 3 for 7 in scrambling. Scheffler has never come back from outside the top 30 at the end of the first round to win an official tournament, but McGinley didn't seem overly concerned. 'He's like a marathon runner. He knows how to pace himself,' he said. 'There's also a little bit of an intimidation factor going on. He's so highly regarded by his peers and he's a hell of a competitor.' Scheffler, for one, wasn't too stressed out about being seven off the lead held by J.J. Spaun. 'When I look back at my round today, I think I just need to give myself some more looks at birdie. That's really all it came down to,' he said. 'I'll clean up some of those mistakes, a couple three-putts and stuff like that, and I think tomorrow will be a better day.'
