Overview

  • A steady breeze at The Renaissance Club tested players on nearly every shot during Thursday’s opening round.
  • Scheffler eagled the par-5 10th but carded two bogeys on the back nine to finish with a 67 (3-under).
  • His 3-under score left him three shots off the lead after he said he could have capitalized more on scoring chances.
  • Defending champion Robert MacIntyre recovered from an incorrect out-of-bounds ruling on the 12th to drop inbounds, make bogey and close with a 68.
  • Scheffler will tee off at 8:43 a.m. ET on Friday alongside Rory McIlroy and MacIntyre.
