THIS AIN'T OVER

Scottie off pace but fighting on

- from ANDREW GAMBLE

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER is refusing to give up on his US Open dream - despite being closer to the cut than to the leaders at Oakmont.

On Friday the 13th, Scheffler's second round resembled a horror show at times as the world No.1 carded five bogeys - offset by four birdies - to head into the weekend at four-over par.

The world No.1 has won three of the last four tournaments he has entered, including the US PGA Championship, but looked unusually flustered yesterday.

This stern US Open test is proving too hard for many of the best players in the world and despite being well off the pace, Scheffler is refusing to give up hope.
