Scottie Scheffler has already won the Masters, the PGA Championship, and The Open Championship. Only the U.S. Open is missing for him to complete one of golf’s rarest achievements.

On Wednesday at Trump National Doral, he spoke to reporters and clearly shared what he is thinking right now. Speaking ahead of the 2026 Cadillac Championship in Miami, the world No. 1 was asked if he ever thinks about completing the Grand Slam.

His answer was calm, honest, and gave a clear idea of his mindset. "I never stood there in the mirror and said, I have to do this," Scheffler said. "But this was always something that I dreamed about doing."

He grew up at Royal Oaks, watching professional golfers practice. He even wore pants to practices and junior golf events because he wanted to look more like a pro. Over time, he quietly worked hard and became the best golfer in the world.

Scheffler's tone shifted when asked what a U.S. Open title would mean to him. "I love my country," he said. "I would love to be able to win my national open."

He said that Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, this year’s course, suits the way he plays. Scheffler has done well at the U.S. Open before, and now he is going there with one main goal: to win it.

Scottie Scheffler on Back-to-Back Runner-Ups and Building Momentum

Scheffler has work to do at Doral this week, and he comes in after finishing second in two straight events. Close, but not enough.

At the podium on Wednesday, he didn’t make any excuses. He spoke clearly about luck, momentum, and how small differences decide results over 72 holes.

"Sometimes you hit a good shot and get a bad break," he said. "Instead of birdieing that hole, I make bogey, and all of a sudden, that's two shots."

Two shots can make all the difference at the end of a week. He knows what a great run looks like. Last year, from the Nelson to the Memorial, he won three times in four events. That is his standard, and that is what he is trying to reach again.

Doral is the first step, Shinnecock is next, and somewhere at the end of that road sits a U.S. Open title and a completed Grand Slam.
