Scottie Scheffler's performance at the 2025 US Open was marked by issues with the part of his game that has been his nemesis throughout his professional career.

Scottie Scheffler’s Brutal Admission After US Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler’s run at the 2025 U.S. Open ended in heartbreak. The world No. 1, who came into Oakmont Country Club as a heavy favorite, couldn’t overcome the course’s brutal challenges.

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.
