The world's top three players were grouped together, and only one — No. 1 ranked Scottie Scheffler — finished under par. Scheffler survived a pair of bogies and a double to card a 2-under 69. Rory McIlroy, meanwhile, had a rough go of it, carding a 3-over 74. Defending champ Xander Schauffele was one better at 2-over.

We knew Quail Hollow's vaunted "Green Mile" would claim some victims at this week's PGA Championship, but what happened Thursday morning was still downright shocking. The par-4 16th, the first of the difficult three-hole stretch brought all three of the World's top-three ranked players to their knees.

Scottie Scheffler has been on a phenomenal run in 2025. The World No.1 has already clinched multiple wins this season, adding to his stellar resume. As he enters the PGA Championship, Scheffler is eyeing another big performance. Meanwhile, all eyes are also on Bryson DeChambeau, who’s riding high after his recent Championship triumph.
