Scheffler: precision off the tee still defining the US Open at Shinnecock
Scottie Scheffler insists driving accuracy will be crucial at Shinnecock Hills for this US Open, pushing back against the idea that accuracy doesn’t matter. With firm fairways, brutal fescue rough, and very small greens, a good tee shot should set up a solid approach, while misses make getting on the green markedly harder. The USGA is balancing difficulty and reward, featuring wider fairways than in 2018 but greens that are small and tricky with run-off areas, creating an ongoing paradox between length and precision.
