Scottie Scheffler came into the 125th U.S. Open as the overwhelming favorite to win a fourth major title, but the world No. 1 has struggled to tame the devious Oakmont course

Scheffler, despite not having his best stuff, grinded out a 1-over-par 71 in Friday’s second round to keep himself in contention, at 4-over par, to win his second major of the year, and the third leg of a career Grand Slam. He spent much of the day hovering around the cut line, which was projected to be 5-over while he was playing.
