· Yahoo Sports
Despite Scottie Scheffler celebrating his 30th birthday for the final round of the U.S. Open, the four-time major winner may not get the birthday victory he wished for. Scheffler entered the final round at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club six shots back of the leader Wyndham Clark.
However, despite the suboptimal chances Scheffler has of winning his fifth major, the gallery in Southampton, New York still made sure to celebrate accordingly. Fans in attendance sang 'Happy Birthday' to the world's top-rated golfer as he approached the first tee.

Although Scottie Scheffler, ever the consummate professional, cannot be seen reacting to the serenading, likely focused on his first tee shot, you have to imagine that he appreciated the gesture from the fans.
Or perhaps it threw him off his groove. After all, he did bogey the first hole.
