Scottie Scheffler's Two-Word Reaction to US Open Backlash originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and two-time major winner John Rahm took very different paths to a tie for seventh at the U.S. Open.

Scheffler, despite not having his best stuff, grinded out a 1-over-par 71 in Friday’s second round to keep himself in contention, at 4-over par, to win his second major of the year, and the third leg of a career Grand Slam. He spent much of the day hovering around the cut line, which was projected to be 5-over while he was playing.
