PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) — World top-ranked player Scottie Scheffler closed play Saturday at the U.S. Open with his third straight over-par round. Scheffler says he’s having “a lot of trouble” reading Pinehurst No. 2’s tricky domed greens. He survived the cut at 5 over entering the weekend, then shot a 1-over 71 on Saturday. His round included two birdies and three bogeys. And there were multiple holes where Scheffler barely missed birdie putts to improve his scorecard. The PGA Tour says Scheffler has four consecutive rounds over par for the first time as a pro going back to last week’s win at the Memorial.
