The classification table in the PGA 2025 championship is a scratch of the head for some, but the challenge of Quail Hollow Club could be perfectly summarized by a hole, the three best golfers in the world fought during the Opening Round on Thursday.
Scottie Scheffler, Rory Mcilory and Xander Schauffele are classified from one to three in the official world golf ranking, respectively, and all ended with a double bogey in the 16 of 535 yards in their initial rounds.
His problem with the hole was in full exhibition as an outstanding group for the beginning of the tournament, and Mcilroy triggered his exit to the left, which is an area to avoid due to water. The rough caught his ball, but an uncomfortable lie did not allow him to wear the ball more than 20 yards in the street.

From there, the Mcilroy approach lost the green to the right, and the left back pin did not facilitate it near walking with a bogey. He had a 12 -foot putt to get away with a five, but lost and made double.
Scheffler and Schauffele had better luck of the shirt, but both fought to find green in regulation. With water around them, they both found the bottom with their approach shots that were too far away.

Both players fell into the penalty area to continue the hole and, again, the location was a treacherous for all the golfers and made it difficult to approach. Scheffler had 52 feet to load a bogey, but hit a seven -foot foot to make a double. Then, Schauffele dove for approximately 34 feet.
Scheffler was better than Mcilroy and Schauffele, finishing his opening round tied on 19 under 2. Shauffele entered the Casa Club at 1 OVER after 18 holes, while Mcilroy, winner of the masters in April, had 3 years after firing a 74.

After his round, Scheffler told journalists that the dreaded “mud ball” was the cause of his accident 16 of holes.
“It is one of those offers in which it is frustrating to hit the ball in the middle of the street and get mud and have no idea where you are going,” he told reporters. “I understand that it is part of the game, but there is nothing more frustrating for a player.
“You spend your whole life trying to learn to control a golf ball, and due to a rules decision, you suddenly have absolutely no control over where that golf ball is going. But I do not make the rules. I just have to deal with the consequences of those rules.”
The three were not the only best golfers who fought to discover Thursday of Quail Hollow. Bryson Dechambeau (1-Over), Max Homa (2-Over), Jordan Spieth (3-over) and Brooks Koepka (4-over) were struggling to find a rhythm. Phil Mickelson even loaded an 8 out of 79, which will be practically impossible to lower before cutting on Friday.

Not everyone had the same experience. The American Ryan Gerard led most of the day after shooting a 5 -under 66. Cam Davis Australian coincided, entering the Club house with the same score, although he could have led 6 bass if it were not for a bogey in the final hole.
