At the US Open at Shinnecock, Scottie Scheffler leads a four-way tie for second place that also includes Tom Kim, Sam Stevens and Sahith Theegala, according to reports from Winnipeg Free Press and Yahoo Sports. The three players join Scheffler in the second-place logjam and are seeking to move up as they try to close a gap of six shots heading into the next stage of play. Yahoo Sports describes the group as featuring a “who’s that?” mix of relative major newcomers with fewer high finishes at the biggest events, noting that the three combined have recorded just one top-5 finish in majors between them. Despite the difference in major résumés, all four players occupy the same position in the standings for second at the time of reporting, setting up a tight race for the runner-up spot. Both outlets frame the situation around the unusual competitiveness of the leaderboard, with Scheffler still out front and multiple challengers clustered immediately behind him.
