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.

Scottie Scheffler prepped for the 125th U.S. Open with a Wednesday practice round with Sam Burns. Here’s what that looked like.

Scheffler battled his way to a 1-over 71 at the U.S. Open on Friday, a slight improvement on his first-round 73 but still not the type of performance that’s made him the game’s dominant player the past three years. He has 36 more holes to try to unleash the form that produced wins in three of his last four tournaments.

The U.S. Open continues to be his kryptonite. Scheffler shot his sixth consecutive over-par round at the U.S. Open, including all four rounds last year at Pinehurst No. 2. Scheffler, who opened with 73 on Thursday, said he didn’t hit the ball into the correct spots and paid the price for it.

Scottie Scheffler may have to do something special this weekend at the U.S Open if he wants to win his fourth major.
