Scheffler shoots 2 over at windy US Open, will need to rebound to complete the career Grand Slam

There was Scheffler jumping up and down in a bunker situated 150 yards shy of the green — and 10 feet lower than the fairway — to catch a glimpse of the flag on the putting surface ahead. “You had to be hitting a great shot if you wanted to avoid a punishment,” Scheffler said after walking off the windswept golf course at 2-over par, a reasonable four shots behind early leader Sam Stevens but feeling beaten up. Scheffler, who needs this tournament to complete the career Grand Slam, found plenty of those tough spots over a morning round that bled well into the afternoon — a 5 1/2-hour grind through the wind that started late because of a two-hour fog delay.
