Bryson DeChambeau takes the outright lead
DeChambeau hits an absolutely remarkable shot at the 15th to set up an eagle putt.

Jon Rahm finds some momentum
Rahm -2, Fitzpatrick -2, Dunlapd +4 (8)

Fox goes backwards
Ryan Fox makes tough work of 13.
He sprayed his tee shot right and, after getting back into position, inexplicably finds the water with his third at the par-5.
Still, he holes a gutsy putt for bogey and still has a share of the lead.
20:21

Big cat spotted
Tiger Woods has just arrived.
The five-time champion winner heads straight to the range and is honing his short game, hitting some saucy little spinners out of the bunker.
Woods claimed at the beginning of the week he believes if everything comes together then he can win.
His critics suggest he will have a difficult time making the cut.

Will Zalatoris off to decent start
Thomas E, Matsuyama +1, Zalatoris -1 (6)
It's pretty solid stuff so far from JT and Zalatoris.
Thomas leaves himself 30 feet for birdie at the seventh. Zalatoris finds the heart of the green.
Matsuyama looks visibly disgusted as he finds the front bunker.

Up-and-down stuff for Rory McIlroy
McIlroy bounced back from an early bogey with a birdie at the third hole.
But he's going in the wrong direction again.
His tee shot landed in the bunker at the fourth hole and can't save his par.
Meanwhile Scottie Scheffler can't convert his birdie putt he and stays at one under.
Xander Schauffele has started poorly and is two over.

Disaster start for Rory McIlroy
We were talking about how McIlroy made a meal of the second hole.
The Northern Irishman misses from six feet to save his par.
This is absolutely not what McIlroy fans wanted to see early...
18:54

Clark, Hovland and Smith start with three pars

Clark, Viktor Hovland and Cameron Smith all make regulation fours to begin.
18:44
Fitzpatrick into the red
Matthew Fitzpatrick cards an early birdie to move to one under.
Meanwhile it's not been the quickest of starts for Jon Rahm.

18:34
