After a dismal performance at the PGA Championship, the Canadian golfer was eager to bounce back and contend for the title. However, his hopes were dashed in the first round as he struggled to find his rhythm and consistency, carding a disappointing 74. Meanwhile, world number one Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele made strong starts to the tournament. Scheffler, who recently won the Masters and the PGA Championship, continued his impressive form with a bogey-free 66, while Schauffele also impressed with a 67. Hadwin’s struggles were evident from the outset. He bogeyed the first hole and dropped another shot on the third. Despite making a birdie on the fifth, he could not maintain his momentum and dropped shots on the eighth, ninth, and 12th holes. Scheffler, on the other hand, played with the composure and precision that has become his trademark. He hit 14 of 18 greens in regulation and made several key putts to keep his round bogey-free. Schauffele also played solidly, hitting 13 greens and making a number of crucial par saves. As the tournament progresses, Scheffler and Schauffele will be among the favorites to contend for the title. Hadwin, however, will need to find his form quickly if he wants to make a charge up the leaderboard.
