Scheffler’s U.S. Open shot: One great round to rewrite golf history
A single great round separates Scottie Scheffler from golf immortality—and the career Grand Slam—at Shinnecock Hills on Sunday.
S. Open, eyes Sunday’s finale at Shinnecock Hills with a chance to overtake leader Wyndham Clark and complete the career Grand Slam. Scheffler’s Saturday performance left him just one stroke behind Clark, with a 67 on the challenging Shinnecock Hills course.
The 27-year-old American golfer has been on a roll all week, with three consecutive rounds under par. His ball-striking has been elite, averaging 85% greens in regulation, while his putting has stabilized after early-round struggles. Clark, meanwhile, carded a 70 to maintain a one-stroke lead, his third consecutive round in the 70s—a stark contrast to Scheffler’s aggressive surge.
