The third major championship of the season is here, and all eyes are on Scottie Scheffler as he tees off in the afternoon wave.
As the morning wave finishes their rounds, it’s J.J. Spaun who is the clubhouse leader after a stunning 4-under 66. It’s the best round of the day so far, though Sungjae Im might have something to say about that by day’s end.

Don’t expect lower numbers in the afternoon, as Oakmont is only going to get tougher.
As for Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau, it was a grind, with both struggling to remain in contention after their first rounds. DeChambeau is in with a 3-over 73, while McIlroy shot a 4-over 74.
As for Scheffler, the top-ranked golfer in the world, he’s starting off the week as the biggest favorite the event has seen in 16 years.
Scheffler has won three of his last four starts and has absolutely dominated the golf world in recent weeks. He won the PGA Championship by five shots last month, too, to claim his third major championship title. A win for him this week would bring him just a British Open away from completing the career grand slam.
