The 28-year-old American, seeking his first 2025 victory after receiving nine titles last year, ended a round of opening up with birds back in his hometown event at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, near Dallas.

“I hit the ball really well,” villain said “I gave myself a lot of opportunities. I hit a lot of roads. I hit some really good iron shots nearby. Many of them had to do with my ball hit. I hit her really beautiful.”

Scheffler, who was one out of the course record held by South Korean Noh seung-yulfired his second best result with 18 holes at a PGA Tour event.

Philippine Riko HoeyLooking for his first PGA title, fired his lowest PGA score to divide the second to 63 with Venezuela Jhonattan vegas. In 64 were of Germany Stephan Jaeger and Americans Michael Thorbjornsen, Eric Cole, Andrew Putnam, Patton kizzire, Will Gordon AND Cameron camera.

“I brought the ball greatly,” Hoey said. “I’ve had a few good days where I put it, but today it was one of the best I saw. Having a ball in hand helped a lot, so I used it.”

The double sample of masters Scheffler, who fought with a hand injury earlier this season, fired a seven under 29 in nine and fired 32 Tom hge‘S 10.

“This is a golf course you need to make some birds, especially a day like today when there wasn’t a lot of smell,” Said Scheffler.

“There are several scoring options for which you need to benefit and fortunately I was able to get those holes.”

Scheffler was pulled from four birds in a row starting with a five-foot bird stroke in the third hole, then a four-foot in the fourth and two legs in the fifth and the four of the sixth.

He added a bird from only within 17 meters to the eighth hole and sank a four-legged eagle kick in the ninth of the five-five after throwing his second green shot.

Scheffler followed three pars with a bird blow from just 11 meters to the 13th to match Hoey for the lead, then threw his incites shot from the 17th 17th principle and was tapped for Birdie to capture the lead alone.

In the 18th of the 18th, Scheffler lost a 28-legged eagle blow, but went for Birdie to extend his advantage.

‘Continued to join’

Hoey, a 29-year-old man from Manila, did not miss a straight path in a round without forgiveness. He withdrew to Eagle from about 35 meters to 18, then withdrew from five consecutive birds from the second to sixth holes before closing with a bird blow from just 10 meters to the ninth.

“Feeling good there,” Hoey said. “I just kept pulling out. I knew the birds would come. I’m glad I stayed patient. I ran from five right birds and that was great.”

Hoey has triumphs in Canadian and Corn ferry tournaments, but wants for a PGA victory for progress.

“Nice to get the moment you roll now. This is the season to really hit it in the outfit,” He said. “It would be good (win), but it’s just the first round.”
