OAKMONT, Pa. — Scottie Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 ranked player, simply never got it going this week. Despite entering the U.S. Open as the overwhelming favorite to win, having won three of his previous four starts (including the PGA and the Memorial), Scheffler finished with an even-par 70 on Sunday to finish 4-over par. Scheffler, who leads the PGA Tour in bogey avoidance, had 17 of them (and a double), which is more than he has made in any PGA Tour event in his career.

OAKMONT, Pa. — Ryan McCormick, who made the cut at the U.S. Open on the number on Friday at 7-over par, should be exhilarated to be playing the weekend at Oakmont, his first major championship. But McCormick, one of five Metro Area players in the field this week, expressed disappointment when he finished his third round in 76 on Saturday because Korn Ferry Tour players don’t receive points for qualifying for a major or even making the cut in one.
