We’ve got a lone🐺Smalley atop a major leaderboard for @ajcantrall ! 22 within 4 shots. More big guns 5 back. HOT but calmer day. What on earth is going to happen!?!?
Great first day, 7 way tie! Scottie and several low-owned. Cameron crew with Scottie/Potgieter. Heidt Ryo/Pot. Rubis/Sowa Ryo/Scottie. Several 🧑🍳/Schef.
Will be crazy if the scores stay this close.
48 players are at or within 3 shots of the lead after round one of the PGA Championship.
That is the most players within 3 after any major round in the modern era.
The 7 players tied for the lead are the most after any round of a men's major championship since the 1977 U.S. Open at Southern Hills (also round 1, also 7 players).
McCarty leads after 1 day at Quail Hollow. Only two have him. @tschultz07 in the lead with the Sungjae 1-2 combo! Vance also has McCarty, would be a heck of a way to get out of last🚡
Young and Scottie, familiar faces up top and a lot have that combo. 3 teams have Si Woo too, C Duncan advantage with Bhatia. Don Zoltan has Young/Reitan.
Early Sunday due to forecasted storms.
Cam Young back for more Florida glory? He’s leading and Spieth close behind, two have both (Michon, Don Zoltan.) @ajcantrall has Lone Wolf in 2nd place with Alex Smalley.
Friday awaits at the Blue Monster
Playoff! @trschultz may have been winning to start day with Scottie/Fitz/Straka but going into the playoff there are three with all of the top 3. Fitz teams with no Scottie could win out with volume, but one of those 3 likely has won already. Possible @dexheime with Fowler too.
Fitzpatrick and Hovland on fire to top leaderboard headed to their Saturday tee times. Scheffler charging fast. 2 teams have all 3. Bennwitz/DeBano and Alex Diehl.
Sunday at Augusta! The leaderboard is packed tight, could be some fireworks. Many have combos of the top 3 (Rory, Young, Burns), but I believe only Jack Walsh has all 3. 11 golfers within 5 of the lead, I’d be surprised if that top trio holds.
A Friday Masters class has put Rory in front going to the weekend with a huge, packed group behind him. Lots of Burns, Rose combos. Reed is a lone wolf @Great_One82 (might be his only tourney), Hatton only owned by 2. We’ll see if things clear up on moving day (I doubt it).
What’s goin’ on at Augusta!? Two co-leaders including the defending champ. We have a lot of Burns and Rory combos so things are wide open in the pool. Get as many guys in that cutline as possible.
Walking out of work tomorrow for Masters weekend:
