Leading the charge is none other than the superstar Scottie Scheffler. He’s coming off a strong first day, opening with an incredible eagle on the par-5 10th hole and wrapping up the round with a fantastic score of three-under 67. It’s safe to say the pressure is on, but he’s been more than up for the challenge lately!
Alongside Scheffler are some remarkable contenders like Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, and defending champion Robert MacIntyre. McIlroy had a thrilling opening day too, finishing the first round at two-under 68, thanks to a spectacular run of three consecutive birdies towards the end. Sounds like he’s ready to make some magic happen!
Meet the Sleepers

Ryan Fox has been performing impressively this season with wins at the OneFlight Myrtle Beach Classic and the RBC Canadian Open, making him a solid sleeper pick. Then there’s Matthew Jordan, who had noteworthy finishes at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters and Porsche Singapore Classic. He’s got momentum on his side!
Don’t count out Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen either—after a strong runner-up finish at the Puerto Rico Open and solid performances on the DP World Tour, he’s looking to make some noise. And let’s not forget about Harry Hall, who will be making his season debut on the DP World Tour. With respectable finishes on the PGA Tour, including T8 at The Sentry and T10 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, he could surprise everyone!
The Buzz Around The Tournament
After day one, it’s clear this tournament is heating up with 32 players separated by merely three strokes.
