Luke Donald shoots bogey-free 67
The European Ryder Cup captain gets up and down from greenside sand at 18 to ensure there’s no blemish on his card today. Four numbers circled, though. That’s a fine performance by the 47-year-old veteran, whose best performance at the PGA Championship came in 2006 at Medinah, when he went into the final round tied at the top with Tiger, only to shoot a disappointing 74. He tied for third that year.
Rory McIlroy’s driving has been all over the place today. Now he sends a big hook towards the punters down the left of 5. Maybe in one of the mighty bunkers over there. Xander Schauffele shoves his drive to the other side of the hole. Scottie Scheffler dunks his tee shot into a fairway bunker. The members of this marquee group have been dragging each other down all day. Bad golf, as any weekend hacker can tell you, is contagious.
Ryan Fox shoots 67
The 38-year-old from Auckland isn’t able to get up and down from the side of 9, and he finishes with a disappointing bogey. But it’s far from a disappointing round, and he scribbles his name at the bottom of a fine opening round of 67. Not a bad way to follow up his win at the Myrtle Beach Classic last week, his first on the PGA Tour. Very much in form, a first top-ten finish at a major is now in his sights. More?
-4: Fox (F), Donald (17), Smalley (17*), Poston (16), Jaeger (14)
-3: Noren (17), R Højgaard (13*), Bradley (11*), Gerard (11)
Jon Rahm rakes a long birdie putt across 5 and you can make an argument that, at -1, he’s the only truly huge star in red figures at the moment. The only other major winners in credit at the moment are Matt Fitzpatrick and Keegan Bradley, both at -3. It’s not happening for any of the big names at the moment.
McIlroy’s 30-footer (as it turned out) catches a piece of the hole so no birdie at 3 for the Masters hero. He stays at +2, seven back. Scheffler, after another weirdly poor approach, tugs an ugly par putt left and drops to +1. Not happening for the two pre-tournament favourites. They both have six to play.
And with that, I’ll hand you back to Scott Murray.
Rory’s in the rough again. It means he’s in tree trouble once more – this time at 3 – and has to manufacture another one under the branches. But imagination is one of his strengths and he fashions a low, bounding skipper that runs up onto the green. He’ll have a shot at birdie from around 25 feet maybe. Back at the top end of the leaderboard, six shots better than McIlroy, J.T. Poston birdies 14 and 15 to reach -4 and pull to within one of the leaders. Poston is a North Carolina local, his birthplace a city called Hickory.
There were two events on the PGA Tour last week. Sepp Straka won the Truist Championship, with Ryan Fox chipping in from 50 feet to beat a weaker field in the Myrtle Beach Classic. Fox is certainly riding the momentum today but Straka – along with McIlroy, the only two-time winner on the PGA Tour this season – is having a tough time. The Austrian wiped out two early bogeys with an eagle at 14 but he’s let shots go at 3, 5 and 6 to slip to +3 with three to play. Straka was tied seventh in this event in 2023 and joint runner-up in the Open Championship later that year so he has some pedigree in the majors.
Scottie Scheffler gets back under par. Despite finding the intermediate off the tee at the 454-yard par-4 2nd, the World No.1 hoists a deadly approach straight at the flag and holes the nine-footer for his birdie. Rory makes par. He has to hit a sawn-off second under some overhanging trees, finding the left of the green, and then two-putts from 30- feet to remain +2 after 11, now two behind Scheffler.
And we have someone at the crazy heights of 5-under. That would be Swede Alex Noren after back-to-back gains at 14 and 15. Can he hang on over the next three holes (Green Mile) though. Noren’s only top 10s in 39 majors have come at the Open Championship (T9 in 2012 and T6 in 2017) although he was tied 12th in this event last year, his best finish in eight attempts.
And as I write this, Ryan Fox has joined Noren at -5 after a birdie at the par-5 8th hole, his 17th. The two are a shot clear of Luke Donald.
It’s a bogey for McIlroy at 10. The sand is quite packed after the rain and it’s hard to get any height on bunker shots. Rory’s swish from sand has to take the low road rather than the usual hoist up and plop down and after pulling up short he misses the par putt to drop to +2. And, next, a shout of ‘fore’ off the next tee although his lie in the rough doesn’t look too bad. Still, this isn’t the fast start so many were predicting. The contrarians are nodding sagely right now. Coming off that Masters win and being a four-time course winner at Quail Hollow seemed the perfect recipe. Too good to be true perhaps. Early days of course and let’s not forget that he opened with a modest 72 at Augusta.
Feel free to throw rotten fruit at me but I think having 20 PGA Pros in the field is ridiculous. Yes, there was the fairytale story of Michael Block and his hole-in-one alongside Rory at Oak Hill in 2023 but mostly they’re just clogging up the field. Three of them are propping up the leaderboard at a combined 24-over. Maybe just have a trio next time and put them out in a three-ball at the back of the field. Thoughts?
Here’s how Quail Hollow can punish you. American Patrick Fishburn was second on the very early leaderboard after two birdies in his first six holes. But he followed that with six straight bogeys and has just dropped another shot to slump to +5 after 15. For company, he has two multi-major winners in the form of Martin Kaymer and Brooks Koepka, the latter putting a huge hole in his hopes with a run of bogey, double bogey, bogey, bogey at 18, 1, 2 and 3.
Rory McIlroy isn’t at the races. From 173 yards, he hangs his approach at 1 (his 10th) out to the right and that’s straight into a huge bunker. Rory hates it. His head drops. Better news for Shane Lowry after he slipped to a miserable +3 after 10 holes. The 2019 Open champion has birdied 3 and 4 to return to +1 alongside McIlroy and, continuing the Irish theme, Seamus Power (14).
All the talk pre-tournament was of how long this course would play after the rain. A surprise then to see very short-hitting Luke Donald tied at the top alongside Nico Echavarria. The Colombian is ranked 158th (out of 185) for Driving Distance on the PGA Tour this season. Note that the four leaders have yet to play the ultra-tough Green Mile finishing stretch.
-4: Donald (15), Noren (14), Echavarria (12), Jaeger (10)
-3: Fox (15*), Puig (14), Fitzpatrick (10*), Højgaard (9*), Bradley (7*), Burns (7*), Lower (6*)
All the flags. The top 10 now comprises two Englishmen, a New Zealander, a German, a Spaniard, a Swede, a Colombian, a Dane and three Americans. Quite the international leaderboard.
Thanks Scott. This is a skittish start by both McIlroy and Scheffler. And an even worse one by Schauffele. With the leaders at -4, who would have that that this stellar three-ball would be a combined 3-over. At least they’re all through the Green Mile now (16, 17 and 18) having started at 10. Scheffler, who holds a testy par putt at 18, turns in even par, with Rory +1 and Schauffele +2. All have a double bogey on their card (at 16) although that wasn’t the back-nine symmetry they were seeking.
Rory McIlroy’s driver has been wayward today. Again it gets him in trouble, nearly finding the creek that winds down the left of 18. He gets a huge break, though – another huge break – as the ball snags in the thick rough along the bank. He powers a 9-iron pin high, and will have a look at birdie from 20 feet or so. He’ll have taken a par a couple of minutes ago, that’s for sure.
And with that, I’m off for the next hour. Here’s David Tindall to take you through it. See you again soon!
Ryan Fox walks in a 20-footer on 5, and we have a new sole leader of the PGA Championship … for a couple of minutes, at least, because Luke Donald soon joins him after picking up another stroke, this time at the gettable par-four 14th! Well, nobody expected this. Or this: down the other end of the leaderboard, three-time champ Brooks Koepka is unravelling at speed. Double bogey at 1, bogey at 2, and now he’s just carved his drive out of bounds at 3. If it can happen to Brooks, it can happen to anyone.
-4: Fox (14*), Donald (14)
-3: Puig (13), Noren (12), Smalley (11*), Echavarria (10), Jaeger (9), Højgaard (9*), Greyserman (7*), Bradley (6*), Burns (6*), Lower (5*)
McIlroy nearly chips in from the fringe on 17. He taps in with the blade of his wedge. Scheffler nearly drains a 65-foot putt. Par will do for him as well. Schauffele wedges to ten feet, and nails the par saver. Three brilliant pars on their own merit, but doubly good after the double-bogey-strewn fiasco on 16.
“Oh my God!” Scottie Scheffler isn’t on it at all, and he yelps as his ball only just gets over the pond at the waterside par-three 17th. Rory McIlroy gets a bit more aggressive, landing his ball in the centre of the green, but eventually thankful that there’s a thick collar running around the back of it, else it’d have scampered all the way down the bank to the water. Xander Schauffele bails out front right. The marquee group really struggling here, though to be fair these greens are hard to hold, and will only get more difficult as the day progresses and the sun beats down. The morning starters are most likely enjoying the best of the conditions. The word “enjoying” doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
“The three best players in the world, making an absolute pig’s ear of this 16th hole.” Nick Dougherty there, making his observations on Sky Sports. That’s because neither Xander Schauffele nor Scottie Scheffler get anywhere near the hole with their chips, having taken their penalty drops. Two putts from distance, and that’s a pair of double bogeys. They’d left themselves with tricky six footers to even make those. Rory McIlroy meanwhile whips a wedge down from the bank to the right, but can’t make the eight-footer that remains, and that’s a double as well. Scheffler is back to level par, while McIlroy is +1 and Scheffler +2. The start of the Green Mile, ladies and gentlemen, and the perils of a 535-yard par-four. “Chicken soup for the soul” for everyday hackers, suggests the mischievous Dougherty.
Ryan Fox pars 3. There are no pictures on the card, suffice to say this one included a long bunker shot slapped straight into the face, and chip-in from the back of the green. When it’s your day, etc. He remains -3, where he’s been joined in that large group by David Puig (long birdie rake on 11) and Max Greyserman (chip-in from the front of 15).
The marquee group begin their journey along the Green Mile, Quail Hollow’s famous closing three-hole stretch. Rory gets a big break on the monster 535-yard par-four 16th as he sends a big hook towards the water down the left. His ball hits a tree trunk and stays dry. But it’s not that big a break, because it’s snagged in thick oomska on a steep bank. Hacking out hard, his back foot gives way mid-swing and he can only advance the ball into the lighter rough nearer the top of the bank. He sends his third into rough to the right of the green, unwilling to take too many chances with the water again. Trouble here. Then from the centre of the fairway, both Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele yank their approaches into the deep blue! On Sky, Wayne Riley speculates that those jaw-dropping unforced errors may be the result of mud balls, some of Quail Hollow still pretty saturated with the rain from earlier this week. No clean and place this week, despite it all. Everyone in trouble here.
A pretty busy leaderboard. Stephan Jaeger and Rasmus Højgaard joining the party.
-3: Donald (11), Fox (10*), Echavarria (8), Jaeger (7), Fitzpatrick (6*), Højgaard (6*), Bradley (4*)
-2: Puig (10), Noren (10), Smalley (9*), Fleetwood (8*), Rahm (6*), Lee (6*), Scheffler (6*), Burns (4*), Lower (2*)
Texas wedges for both Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, just off the front of the par-five 15th. Rory up first, and he leaves his a little short. That’s given Scottie the read, and he doesn’t need telling twice. Straight into the cup – well, with a little left-to-right slide – and that’s an eagle that catapults him up the standings to -2. McIlroy cleans up for birdie to move back into red numbers. Just a par for Xander Schauffele. Meanwhile a first backward step of the day for Tommy Fleetwood, with bogey at 17. He’s -2.
The 30-year-old Colombian Nico Echavarría is here as a result of winning the Zozo Championship in Japan last season. He’s grabbing the opportunity with both hands: birdies at 4, 7 and 8 whisk him up to the top of the leaderboard at -3. Meanwhile there’s a huge stroke of luck for Rory McIlroy at the par-five 15th; he nearly hooks his drive into the water down the left, but the lush grass grabs the ball before it trickles into the hazard. Not only does he have a stance, he’s also got a decent lie, and is able to swish his second towards the green, where it stops just short. He’d have taken this outcome when he was watching his tee shot sail towards the briny.
The marquee group end up making a bit of a mess of the short par-four 14th. Scottie Scheffler putts up from the bottom of the swale, but leaves himself ten feet short, and can’t make the birdie putt. A disappointing par after a fine tee shot. Rory McIlroy swishes a soft-hands wedge down from the bank to eight feet, but stabs erratically at the birdie putt and has to settle for par. So in a strange way, it’s Xander Schauffele who ends up the least frustrated: having found water from the tee, he does extremely well to pitch to ten feet or so from the dropzone, and though he doesn’t make the par saver, he’s limited the damage to bogey. All three are at level par for their round.
Luke Donald walks in a 30-footer on 10, and the English veteran joins the leaders at -3! Over to you, Keegan Bradley … and the battle of the Ryder Cup captains continues apace, as he sends his tee shot at the 206-yard 13th to four-and-a-half feet! In goes the putt, and anything you can do, etc. They’re joined by the 2023 US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick, who birdies the par-five 15th. Fitzpatrick is going round with Jon Rahm, who also brides to move to -2. Quite the surprise leaderboard here!
-3: Donald (10), Fox (9*), Fleetwood (6*), Fitzpatrick (6*), Bradley (4*)
A third birdie in a row for Tommy Fleetwood! This one at 15, and Southport’s finest, so often the major-championship bridesmaid, grabs a share of the early lead.
-3: Fox (9*), Fleetwood (6*)
-2: Donald (9), Noren (8), Echavarria (7), Fitzpatrick (5*), Jaeger (6), R Højgaard (5*), Bradley (3*)
Anything the European Ryder Cup captain can do, the US Ryder Cup captain can match. Keegan Bradley joins his opposite number Luke Donald at -2, after making birdies at 10 and 12. Meanwhile a second birdie of the day for Rasmus Højlund, at 14, and the Dane moves to -2 as well. However the nightmare continues for Shane Lowry: bogeys at 15 and 16 and he’s +3 already, and playing with a face on. Last weekend’s final-green capitulation hanging over him like a cloud.
The defending champion goes fishing. Xander Schauffele pulls his tee shot at the driveable par-four 14th into the drink down the left. Rory goes the other way, his ball sticking in the thick rough on the bank to the right. “Argh! Didn’t get the kick left!” he cries in anguish. Scottie Scheffler, unflappable, nearly finds the greenside sand but settles on the fringe instead.
Scheffler’s short game is digging the world number one out of a hole. He chips to eight feet, a decent result seeing he was wedging blind from the bottom of the bank. He’s still got some work to do, but strokes home the putt with admirable chill, given it had plenty of right-to-left break. He remains at level par. Pars again for McIlroy and Schauffele. Not too many fireworks from the marquee group so far.
Reports of Scottie Scheffler’s recovery may have been premature. At the par-three 13th, he sends his tee shot down a swale 35 yards to the right of the green. On Sky Sports, Wayne Riley suggests that might have been very close to the hosel. Nick Dougherty also dances very carefully around the S-word. This is pretty strange, because that’s three genuinely awful shots now, two from the tee box, one from the middle of the fairway. He looks troubled. Mind, it’s still one up on getting your collar felt.
Tommy Fleetwood looks in the mood. He follows up that birdie at 13 with another at 14, steering in a downhill left-to-right swinger from 20 feet. Just 67 holes from destiny.
-3: Fox (8*)
-2: Donald (8), Noren (7), Fleetwood (5*), Greyserman (2*)
Here’s why Scottie Scheffler is world number one: the man is unflappable. He’s been all over the shop early doors, almost blading a shot from the centre of a fairway into a bunker, hoicking a drive deep into woodland. And now his approach at 12 takes a hot bounce through the back of the green. No matter! He clips a calm wedge back up, a perfectly judged chip that scampers into the hole. Bounce-back birdie and the early damage has been repaired in short order. He’s level par again.
Slow starts dept. Shane Lowry, perhaps still smarting from his 72nd-green meltdown at the Truist Championship last weekend, bogeys 13. He’s +1, as is Bob MacIntyre after dropping a stroke at 2. Rickie Fowler bogeys 12 and 13 to drop to +2. Patrick Cantlay follows bogey at 11 with double at 12, the latter the result of a wild drive into trees down the left; he’s +3. And Phil Mickelson flays his tee shot at the driveable par-four 14th into water on the left, but manages to salvage bogey, his second of the day after 12; he’s +2.
Another birdie for Luke Donald! This one at 8, reward for a wedge sent from 70 yards to five feet. In pops the putt, and the 47-year-old moves to within a shot of the early leader Ryan Fox. There’s a huge group currently at -1, featuring some big names: the 2008 winner Padraig Harrington, his compatriot Seamus Power, Tommy Fleetwood, Jason Day, Jon Rahm, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rasmus Højgaard and the defending Xander Schauffele.
-3: Fox (7*)
-2: Donald (8)
Scottie Scheffler seems strangely out of sorts. He’s not faced with the hardest up and down at 11, but clips his chip into the ridge running across the green, taking all the momentum away. He’s left himself a putt from the best part of 15 feet. He can’t make the right-to-left slider and doesn’t look particularly happy. He’s +1. Bogey too for Rory McIlroy, who three-putts carelessly – an overly aggressive first putt doing the real damage – and slips back to level par. But a no-fuss par for Xander Schauffele, the defending champion remaining at -1.
Birdie for Tommy Fleetwood at the par-three 13th. He’s still looking for his first win on the PGA Tour. This would be a decent time to break that duck.
… but Scottie catches a break! A decent lie and a route under the branches to the green. He fires out low and sends his ball scampering towards the apron. That’s a decent result all told, and he’ll have a chance to get up and down from the front for his par. Rory meanwhile has found sand down the left of the fairway and Xander the fairway; both find the green in regulation, albeit not particularly close to the flag. Outside chances for birdie.
Scottie Scheffler always entertains with a little soft-shoe shuffle as he lets rip with the driver. But this time his feet are way too busy on the downswing, and he nearly loses his balance completely, yanking his ball down a bank to the left of 11 and towards some trees. That’s his second wild shot already. A slow start for Scottie.
Opening birdie for Rory McIlroy! He swishes out of the thick rough elegantly, from 30 yards to ten feet. He steers in the gentle left-to-right slider, and the pre-tournament favourite is immediately into red figures. Scottie Scheffler power-splashes out from the fairway bunker to a similar distance, but putts through the break and has to make do with par. Xander Schauffele gets up and down from the swale at the front without fuss and he moves to -1 alongside Rory.
The 2015 champion Jason Day is re-emerging as a force in the majors, coming off the back of a top-ten finish at Augusta. The 37-year-old Aussie chips in at 11 to join the group at -1. Jon Rahm, in the group behind, rolls in a 30-footer on 11 and the two-time major champion is -1 as well.
Schauffele has an awkward stance, balancing on the edge of a fairway bunker. But he’s obviously been at the old core-strength exercises, because he stays steady and creams his second just off the front of the long par-five 10th. A good chance to get up and down for an opening birdie there. Not so much Scottie or Rory, the former sending a skittish second into a bunker 40 yards short of the green, the latter dunking his into the lush greenside rough. It’s sunny today, but it’s been raining all week in Charlotte, North Carolina, and that vegetation is juicy. A slight look of concern on both of their faces.
The morning marquee group is out. The new Masters champion Rory McIlroy, the defending champion and reigning Open champion Xander Schauffele, and the world number one Scottie Scheffler. Rory batters his drive furthest, but he’s in the rough down the right of the fairway. Scheffler a few yards behind him but in prime position. Schauffele in decent nick as well.
Ryan Fox often hovers around on the fringes of the action in the majors. Never quite putting four rounds together. No top-ten finishes as a result. Yet. The 38-year-old New Zealander opened with birdies at 10 and 13, and has just driven the green at the short par-four 14th. He’s left with an 84-foot putt from the fringe at the back, but cosies it up to four feet and makes his birdie putt. Meanwhile Alex Noren follows up birdie at 1 with another at 4, and the veteran Swede is on Foxy’s tail.
-3: Fox (5*)
-2: Noren (4)
-1: Donald (5), Poston (2), Fitzpatrick (1*)
The European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald hit the first shot of this PGA Championship this morning. He started out with three pars, then at the 185-yard par-four 4th, sent a gentle draw to four feet, and tidied up for birdie. Donald never won a major during his pomp, despite reaching number one in the world, and the 47-year-old most likely won’t be breaking that duck this week. But just for a moment, he had his nose out in front early doors.
