World number one Scottie Scheffler and second-ranked Xander Schauffele, coming off his first major victory, are oddsmakers favorites in next week's US Open, golf's third major showdown of the year.
PINEHURST, United States -- World number one Scottie Scheffler and second-ranked Xander Schauffele, coming off his first major victory, are oddsmakers favorites in next week's US Open, golf's third major showdown of the year.
Scheffler, third at last year's US Open and level second in 2022, has four wins and two runner-up efforts since February, but he's still trying to adopt the same mindset he had when he was struggling to qualify for US Opens. Schauffele birdied the last hole for a one-stroke victory over LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau to win the PGA at Valhalla, but says he hasn't really pondered what the breakthrough major triumph meant, not with more majors and defending Olympic gold in Paris ahead of him.
"It's a special golf course," he said. "I went out and actually played it in early January. It was an awesome test. Tiger Woods, a 15-time major winner who has struggled to walk 72 holes since a 2021 car crash, accepted a special invitation into the US Open, which he won in 2000, 2002 and 2008.
