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.

OAKMONT, Pa. — The shot doesn’t matter. It could be on the driving range, the first tee box or the 18th fairway — a quiet practice round at home or the Sunday of a major championship. Scottie Scheffler doesn’t go off-script.

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler told reporters that he hasn't really had his swing over the first three rounds of the U.S. Open, which has featured him shooting four-over.
