The toughest test in golf is upon us, though most believe Scottie Scheffler has already passed it with flying colors.

PINEHURST, N.C. — Do you believe Scottie Scheffler can win the 124th United States Open? I remember the 2008 Masters. Tiger Woods entered the week winning eight of his past 10 starts.
