Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images 1:25 p.m. ET (1st Tee): Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, paired with two-time major champion Collin Morikawa and precision driver Viktor Hovland, headlined the afternoon wave. Scheffler, with 16 PGA Tour wins and three majors, seeks his first U.S. Open title. Per PGA stats, his 2025 strokes gained: total (+2.15 per round) showcases his dominance. Morikawa’s ball-striking (greens in regulation: 72.1%) and Hovland’s fairway accuracy suit Oakmont’s penal rough and firm greens. X user @SchefflerLegion hyped this group for potential “fireworks.” 1:14 p.m. ET (10th Tee): Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson This trio of former U.S. Open champions—Spieth (2015), Rahm (2021), and Johnson (2016)—brought major pedigree. Rahm’s 315.4-yard driving distance (PGA stats) fits Oakmont’s long par-4s, while Spieth’s 62.3% scrambling rate counters the course’s 168 bunkers. X post by @HFRITZ107 dubbed them “must-watch” for their clutch history. 1:03 p.m. ET (1st Tee): Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, Min Woo Lee Five-time major winner Brooks Koepka, joined by 2025 RBC Heritage champion Justin Thomas and flashy Min Woo Lee, formed a power-packed group. Koepka’s +0.89 strokes gained: approach (12th on Tour) thrives in Oakmont’s tough setup. @DanielHussey2 on X noted their “big-hitting vibe,” perfect for the course’s demands. 1:25 p.m. ET (10th Tee): Sungjae Im, Sepp Straka, Tyrell Hatton This group, praised by @SungjaeTracker on X as a “great grouping,” blends consistency and flair. Im’s all-around game, Straka’s recent form, and Hatton’s grit align with Oakmont’s “bloodbath” layout, as X posts called it. Click here for more.
