Scottie Scheffler reacts after missing a putt on the second hole during the second round of the U.S. Open golf tournament Friday, June 14, 2024, in Pinehurst, N.C.PINEHURST, N.C. — Scottie Scheffler chose iron off the tee for position Friday in the U.S. Open and sent it well right of the fairway toward trouble, whether that was a bunker or the dusty dunes or the native plants dotting the landscape.
He had only finished out of the top 10 once this year, and that was a tie for 17th at The American Express in the California desert.Scottie Scheffler reacts after missing a putt on the seventh hole during the second round of the U.S. Open golf tournament Friday, June 14, 2024, in Pinehurst, N.C.Most of the damage came on one hole, the par-5 fifth, among the easiest at Pinehurst No. 2. Scheffler was in the fairway and some 10 yards away from having a decent look at eagle.
“Probably on any other golf course, if I hit those two shots — driver, 3-wood — into a green on a par 5, I probably have a pretty good look at birdie,” Scheffler said. “I’m not going to be walking off with a 7. Just unfortunate place for me to put myself.”It wasn’t just that hole. Scheffler didn’t convert reasonable birdies on three holes early, and he had a tee shot come back off the green on the par-3 15th.
