Scottie Scheffler Breaks Silence After Bad Day at the US Open 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler failed to work his magic during the first round of the U.S. Open. He managed three birdies on the toughest course but bogeyed too many times to end up with a score of 3-over par after 18.

Scottie Scheffler doesn't care what the oddsmakers think or what people say about his status as the overwhelming favorite in this U.S. Open, and pretty much everywhere he plays. Most of the attention is on the rough that covers the tops of shoes.

Scottie Scheffler may not have been as prepared as he could have been for last year's U.S. Open, but on Tuesday the tournament favourite at Oakmont Country Club said he was well-rested and had done his homework ahead of golf's toughest test.
