Scottie Scheffler, the world's top-ranked player, managed to make the cut at the U.S. Open despite struggling with Pinehurst No. 2's challenging greens. Scheffler expressed difficulty in reading the greens, leading to a 1-over 71 in the third round, bringing his total to 6 over for the championship. Despite hitting the ball well, Scheffler faced challenges with the native sandy areas early on.
Neal Shipley, an Ohio State standout, impressed with five birdies in the first 10 holes but faltered in the final stretch, finishing 4 over for the championship. Shipley, who recently earned his PGA Tour Americas card, is set to make his pro debut in Canada.
