Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 professional golfer in the world, has certainly had an eventful spring. Last month, he and his wife welcomed their first child into the world. Then eleven days later, Scheffler was arrested at the PGA Championship after an incident with a police officer (the charges were later dropped). Now he must face another daunting task: winning his third career major championship at the U.S. Open on Course No. 2 at the Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.
And for you, a task less daunting. You need to learn how to watch the U.S. Open Golf Championship and find out if Scheffler will do what all of his fans are expecting him to: win.
Scheffler has never won a U.S. Open before, but he enters this year's contest as the hands-down favorite. It's easy to see why. He's won more titles prior to the Open than any other player in decades. Oddsmakers give him a 4-1 chance of taking the prize, with Rory McIlroy the next highest favorite at 9-1 odds. In other words, the major is Scheffler's to lose. But anything can happen when you're out on the fairway. Indeed, you might even get arrested on your way to the fairway.
Whether or not Scheffler captures the third major of his career will be the dominant story going into the Open, which starts on Thursday, June 13 and ends Sunday, June 16. If Scheffler can pull it off, he'll become only the second player (after Tiger Woods) to win the U.S. Open while ranked world number one.
From the first drive to the final putt, here's how to catch all the U.S. Open action and witness (perhaps) Scottie Scheffler continue his journey into golf immortality.
