Scottie Scheffler's Score in First Round of US Open

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler came into Thursday's first round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club as the overwhelming favorite.

While he has been playing out of his mind with three wins and nine top 10 finishes in 2025, Scheffler didn't have the opening round he was hoping for on Thursday. 

After his first 18 holes, Scheffler finds himself t-No. 49 with a score of 3-over.

The Texas product bogeyed four of the first nine holes, and carded just one birdie on the back nine. While this is an uncharacteristic showing for Scheffler who is playing as well as anyone in the world, Oakmont is notorious for being difficult.

The roughs are as thick as they come, as balls have a chance to go missing in them. In addition to the thick rough, the holes are also inherently difficult, with Oakmont's hole eight having arguably the longest par-3 in existence at 289. 

If there were any doubts as to how frustrated Scheffler was, a video of him slamming his clubs should help put that into perspective.
