World number one Scottie Scheffler and second-ranked Xander Schauffele, coming off his first major victory, are oddsmakers favorites in next week's US Open, golf's third major showdown of the year.Schauffele birdied the last hole for a one-stroke victory over LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau to win the PGA at Valhalla, but says he hasn't really pondered what the breakthrough major triumph meant, not with more majors and defending Olympic gold in Paris ahead of him.
Arpichaya Yubol, riding high after a fifth-place finish at the US Women's Open, fired a record-equalling 10-under par 61 on Friday to seize the first-round lead in the LPGA ShopRite Classic.The first top-10 finish of Arpichaya's LPGA career came out of nowhere last week.
Scheffler sits on nine under, three clear of defending champion Viktor Hovland and Canada’s Adam Hadwin, as he seeks his fifth victory of the season.
