🚨⛳️👀 #CARNAGE — Scottie Scheffler says he did a scouting trip to Shinnecock on Monday ahead of the U.S. Open and warned that players have ‘no chance’ hitting from the rough and the green complexes are ‘extremely difficult.’
“I actually came up and played on Monday. Left Dallas Monday morning, went up and played 18, and then came over here Monday night.”
“I hadn't been there prior. That was my first time on property. It was kind of what I expected. I had heard some rumors about how difficult the greens were. I was a little surprised at the width of the fairways, but the green complexes there are extremely difficult, and I think that's where the greatest challenge comes from. The rough, also, was a really good penalty, I think, for the width. Once you start missing fairways out there, you have no chance. But the fairways are generous enough to where it provides you some opportunity and that way it's just that the green complexes are extraordinarily difficult, and so they can put the pins wherever they want and make the scores as high as they could possibly want 'em to be.” @SchefflerFans
