SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- The roar could be heard from well above the 14th green, reverberating through the fairway and all the way up to the iconic Shinnecock Hills clubhouse where the sharp sound gave everyone pause. It was the loudest of the day -- the loudest of the week perhaps -- and it could only mean one thing.
Scottie Scheffler had finally made his presence known in the U.S. Open.
What had made the New York crowd bellow late Saturday afternoon was what had made Scheffler himself let out his own roar. A chip-in birdie from 65 feet and suddenly Scheffler could be seen displaying the kind of fiery emotion he has reserved for winning major championships. A vicious fist pump, a yell and a sudden bounce in his step that had been missing.
