Scottie Scheffler had a forgettable start at the US Open 2025 as he shot a 3-over 73 score in the opening round. The World No. 1 picked up just three birdies against a whopping six bogeys amid the challenging Oakmont conditions.

On Thursday, June 12, Scheffler began his week at Oakmont with a par, which was followed by a birdie on the par-4 2nd hole. However, things went south from there on as he bogeyed three of the next four holes. He made a birdie on the 8th hole but then bogeyed the 9th to close the front nine at 2-over.

On the back nine, Scottie Scheffler made just one birdie, which came on the 11th hole, but dropped two shots with bogeys on the 13th and 15th and eventually finished at 3-over 73.

Following the first day's action, the two-time major champion is seven strokes off the lead. He is tied at 49th alongside the likes of Bryson DeChambeau and Tyrrell Hatton.
