The NBA Finals inspired Scottie Scheffler at the rain-shortened U.S. Open first round Thursday after the amateur carded a one-under-par 69.
Scheffler, 19, was one of only nine players to complete his round before dangerous weather forced a premature halt to proceedings at Oakmont Country Club following a third stoppage in play. As the storm clouds moved in, he picked up the pace on his final hole to make sure he could stay up late to watch Game 6 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
