Scheffler shoots 2 over at windy US Open, will need to rebound to complete the career Grand Slam

World number one Scottie Scheffler finished Round 1 of the 2026 US Open at 2-over par on Thursday, June 19, placing him four shots behind early leader Sam Stevens at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, New York. The round was a grueling 5.5-hour effort delayed two hours by fog and played in difficult windy conditions. Scheffler, who needs the US Open title to complete the career Grand Slam, will need to improve significantly in subsequent rounds to stay in contention.
