Scottie Scheffler has had a phenomenal season, but the No. 1 golfer in the world struggled at Pinehurst during the U.S. Open on Friday.
After his second-round performance, Scheffler called the day "a grind," per ESPN's Paolo Uggetti.
"It was definitely a grind," Scheffler said. "Yesterday I felt like I played really well and got a lot out of my game, which I feel like I've done a good job of this year. Today was kind of the opposite."
Though he was hoping for a better performance than the five-over-par he shot, it was still enough to make the cut line and advance to the rest of the weekend.
