Scottie Scheffler has a strong rally at the U.S. Open, highlighted by an eventful back nine on Saturday at Shinnecock Hills. After beginning the third round outside the top 10, Scheffler makes a key stretch of play late in his round, including a chip from about 65 feet on the 14th hole. That shot helps spark three straight birdies, bringing him back into contention. With the result, Scheffler ties for second through the first three rounds of the tournament. Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott, is also referenced as part of the process during the day, as the pair navigates the course’s difficulties on day three. In post-round comments, Scheffler says he and his team have been “battling hard” over the previous days and that he has done a good job of keeping himself in the tournament. The reports describe a deliberate approach to the course and emphasize Scheffler’s late-round momentum as the main factor in his climb up the leaderboard.
