Scottie Scheffler was set for a 2:01 p.m. ET tee time with Brian Harman in Saturday's third round of the 2026 U.S. Open. That puts him in the middle of the day’s second wave, not the final pairing.
Wyndham Clark and Matt Fitzpatrick were lined up at 3:45 p.m. ET for the last tee time on Saturday. Dylan Wu and Jacob Bridgeman opened the round at 9:00 a.m. ET, with tee times stretching from 8:30 a.m. ET to 4:00 p.m. ET.
Shinnecock Hills Golf Club schedule
The third round at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club came after Friday night’s second round ended and the weekend schedule was set. Players went off in pairings from the 1st tee, with start times built from leaderboard position after the cut.
That structure left the leaders in the final pairing and sent the lowest players after the cut out first on Saturday morning. Scheffler’s slot shows where he stood in that order: close enough to the front of the day’s action to play early afternoon, but not late enough to join the leaders at the end.
Brian Harman for the final pairing
For readers tracking Saturday’s board, the key detail is the exact time: 2:01 p.m. ET for Scottie Scheffler and Brian Harman. The final pairing at 3:45 p.m. ET stayed with Wyndham Clark and Matt Fitzpatrick, the group that closed the tee sheet.
Scottie Scheffler chases Grand Slam at Shinnecock Hills and the Saturday pairings give that pursuit a set time window, while his move to three over on the PGA leaderboard helps explain why he was not the one sent off last. Readers following the weekend round now know exactly when to tune in for his third-round start.
Scottie Scheffler leads U.S. Open tee times Saturday chase can now be followed around a fixed start time, and the afternoon pairing means his round will begin well after the first groups tee off but before the leaders finish the day’s late slot. For anyone watching the leaderboard, the only remaining question is how that position changes once the third round begins at 2:01 p.m. ET.
