Shinnecock scouting report: Scheffler and McIlroy say wide fairways and big rough for US Open‎

Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler took a detour to Shinnecock Hills on their way to the Memorial and saw fairways a lot wider than what they have come to expect at a U.S. Open. The U.S. Open returns to Shinnecock Hills for the first time since 2018, when Brooks Koepka won during a tough, dry week in which no one finished under par. Scheffler had never been to the fabled course on New York's Long Island, which held the second edition of the U.S. Open in 1896.
