Justin Thomas' Comical Goal of 'Catching Scheffler' Starts at US Open
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Back in April, Justin Thomas broke an almost 3-year winless drought at the RBC Heritage as he sank a 21-foot birdie putt to edge out Andrew Novak. That win was his first since the 2022 PGA Championship and meant more than just a trophy. It was a sigh of relief, a long-awaited return to the winner's circle after 1,064 days of questions, pressure, and self-doubt. But since that $3.6 million win, his game has taken a downturn. Thomas missed the cut at the PGA Championship, posting rounds of 73 and 72 to finish +3. At the Memorial Tournament, he opened with a disastrous 8-over 80, fought back with a 69 and 71, and battled to settle for T31 at +5.

(Photo by) More Getty Images Now, with the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont upon us, one of the toughest courses that's freaking out professionals, Thomas is eyeing his new goal. The funny part, it's not just the leaderboard, but something seemingly impossible. Last week, a thought popped into Thomas's head. It was bold, maybe even laughable. But he said it anyway: "Can I catch him this year?" He was talking about Scottie Scheffler, the World No. 1 and the man who's turned the PGA Tour's event courses into his playground. Thomas sits at No. 5 in the OWGR, nearly 500 points behind Scheffler. Even Rory McIlroy, ranked No. 2, is 239 points back. "Maybe Scottie doesn't play or something," Thomas joked during the pre-tournament conference at Oakmont. "You can't really catch that if he keeps doing what he's doing."

(Photo by) More/Scheffler has been dominating the golf world for the last four seasons. He has six top-5 finishes since March itself. And if we talk about his worst result in the last two months, it was a tie for 8th at the RBC Heritage, won by Thomas. "It's effortless. Every single aspect of his game is unbelievable," Thomas said. "I think his mental game is better than anybody out here. To be able to play with those expectations and stay present as often as he has to me is maybe more impressive than even the golf he's playing." Thomas knows his challenge isn't just physical but mental. He admitted that in recent tournaments, he has been solid early before pressing too hard on the weekend. "I've allowed myself to be in contention during the first two rounds before trying to force it." Despite six top-10 finishes this year, inconsistency has haunted Thomas. He missed the cut at the second major of this season. His T36 finish at the Masters was underwhelming. Yet, he has hope! Mainly because he has done it before. Justin held the No. 1 position twice in his career, in 2018 and 2020. And he feels he can do it again. "It's still on the forefront of my mind," Thomas said. "I obviously can't do anything about what [Scheffler] is doing, and he doesn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down or wanting to. Just try to win some tournaments, and hopefully get close sooner rather than later." That chase begins at Oakmont Country Club, where a win would go a long way toward that goal.

Justin Thomas Sends Strong Message About Scottie Scheffler Ahead of U.S. Open
Justin Thomas Sends Strong Message About Scottie Scheffler Ahead of U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The third major of the year is set to begin on Thursday, and with players already arriving at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, media duties have begun for many on the PGA Tour. Advertisement One player who spoke to the media was Justin Thomas, who has put together a solid 2025 campaign so far and will look to find success on the challenging Oakmont course. His best finish at the U.S. Open came in 2020, when he tied for eighth place. Thomas ended his winless drought since 2022 with a victory at the RBC Heritage in April. Despite that, he remains ranked No. 5 in the world. This week, he was asked a simple question about World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who has been dominant over the past two months on Tour and Thomas had a clear and in depth answer. Thomas was asked, 'What is Scottie Scheffler doing that is so special? What do you say?' Advertisement 'What is he doing?' Thomas replied. 'Well, everything.'

Every single aspect of his game is unbelievable. I think his mental game is better than anybody else's out here. To be able to play with those expectations and to stay present as often as he has—to me, that's maybe more impressive than even the golf he's playing. 'I just think it's so, so hard to do, and it's also hard to explain if you're in his shoes. He just doesn't make mistakes and almost lets himself be in contention rather than forcing it. He just seems to be playing better.' Scottie Scheffler has been the most dominant golfer in the world by a wide margin over the past two to three years. In a sport where consistency is notoriously difficult to maintain week to week, he has managed to do exactly that. Advertisement Scheffler has already recorded four PGA Tour wins this year, including a major victory at the PGA Championship. Remarkably, he has not missed a cut since 2022—his streak now stands at 56 consecutive events. He also enters the U.S. Open with seven straight top-10 finishes. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Scheffler is the clear favorite heading into the U.S. Open—a tournament he has yet to win. Trailing him on the odds board are defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy.
