Scottie Scheffler and Andrew Landry making the most of their big moments

The US Open has traditionally thrown up a diverse bunch of surprise first round leaders with amateur Scottie Scheffler and PGA Tour rookie Andrew Landry the latest to join the bunch at a rain-lashed Oakmont.

Scheffler, a 19-year-old qualifier from Ohio, helped the University of Texas make it to this year’s NCAA finals where they lost to hosts Oregon.

But as rookie Landry got to three under and faced a ten- footer for birdie on his final hole when play was suspended, Scheffler made three birdies and two bogeys in a 69 to set the target as thunderstorms forced three stoppages before play was suspended for the day.
