Scheffler’s game has not been where he wants it, but he sits in a tie for 11th entering the final round at Oakmont.

World No. 22 Sam Burns goes into the final day of the U.S Open as the leader and he has been able to take some advice from Scottie Scheffler after taking the Oakmont course by storm

Scheffler battled his way to a 1-over 71 at the U.S. Open on Friday, a slight improvement on his first-round 73 but still not the type of performance that’s made him the game’s dominant player the past three years.

Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa finished up Oakmont’s par-4 11th hole this morning at 8:07 a.m. EDT. Forty-four minutes later, at precisely 8:51 a.m., the trio got through the brutal par-5 12th.

The world No. 1 shot even par Saturday, his best U.S. Open round in his last seven, and sits at 4 over with only an outside chance Sunday.
