SCHEFFLER, WOW.
Scottie just missed the hole by about an inch or two with his 3-wood into the par-5 3rd. He’s ran around 20ft past the pin so is looking likely to make at least a birdie.
NIEMANN THE FIRST MAN TO -3
The LIV Golf money list leader follows up his eagle at the 3rd with a birdie at the 6th to become the first man to reach three-under-par.
MCILROY BOGEY
McIlroy does indeed bogey the 2nd. His tee shot pushed into the bunker did the damage there, albeit his sand shot wasn’t the best either.
MCILROY STRUGGLING AT 2
Team Ireland’s McIlroy misses the green to the right of the par-3 2nd and his bunker shot goes well long of the pin. Looks like a bogey is on its way.
FLEETWOOD UNDER PAR
The Team GB star rolls in a six-footer at the par-5 3rd to get under par.
DIFFICULT START FOR MIN WOO LEE
Lee is bottom of the leaderboard alongside Wyndham Clark at three-over after a double at the 1st and then another bogey at the par-5 3rd.
MCILROY BIRDIE PUTT SLIDES BY
It’s a par for McIlroy at the 1st.
SCHEFFLER BIRDIE!
The World No.1 rolls in a 20-footer at the 1st and he gets off to the perfect start.
MCILROY IN CLOSE AT THE 1ST
The World No.3 will have a good look for birdie on the 1st from around 10ft. Aberg has hit it in tight to save his par after finding the water. Scheffler has around 20ft for birdie.

LUDVIG ABERG INTO THE WATER ON 1
The Swede is one of the favorites for gold but he’s hit a poor tee shot down the 1st, pulling it into the water. Will do well to make par.
TOUGH START FOR WYNDHAM CLARK
The 2023 US Open champion bogeyed the 1st and has made double at the par-3 2nd after chunking his tee shot into the water. He’s three-over after two holes.
