Despite the turmoil, Scheffler managed to participate in the tournament, shooting an impressive 5-under 66 in the second round.

Scheffler issued a statement expressing regret over the misunderstanding and conveyed his sympathies to the family affected by the accident​ (The Comeback Sports)​.

On the women’s side, the U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach concluded with Allisen Corpuz claiming her first major title. Corpuz delivered a stellar performance, shooting a final-round 69 to win by three strokes. Her victory marks her as the first female major champion at the historic Pebble Beach Golf Links and the first American to win the U.S. Women’s Open since 2016. Corpuz’s consistent play throughout the tournament was highlighted by back-to-back birdies on the 14th and 15th holes, securing her lead and the championship​ (Golf)​.
