The 126th U.S. Open is underway at Shinnecock Hills, and the fog has already cast its spell, causing a delay. This iconic course, known for its challenging nature, is hosting the tournament for the first time in eight years, attracting a star-studded field of 156 golfers. Among them, Scottie Scheffler, the world's top-ranked golfer, is on a quest for the career grand slam. With a strong record in major tournaments and a recent victory in the PGA Championship, Scheffler is the favorite to conquer the field. However, the fog delay adds an unexpected twist, leaving players and spectators alike in anticipation. The USGA's next update is scheduled for 8:15 a.m. ET, providing a glimmer of hope for a resumed start. As the sun rises over Southampton, New York, the stage is set for a dramatic day of golf, where the fog may just be the least of the challenges.
