Off The Tee: 96th, Approach: 45th, Short Game: 20th, Putting: 116th.

Not great and add that to him hitting just five fairways out of 11 and he's doing well to be no worse than +1 after bogeys at 4, 5, and 7 relegated him to +2.

But the victory at Valhalla has come back with birdies at 9, 10, and 13, the latest holed from 19 feet, to get under par for the day.

That tally of -1 puts him in tied seventh.

While he makes a move, Scheffler continues to stall.

Currently at +1, he misses yet another fairway at 14.

The German has rather gone off the radar since joining LIV but managed a tied ninth in the latest event in Houston last week.

Perhaps boosted by that first top 10 of 2024, he's going along nicely here at -1 after 10.

It's still tough work from there and he ends up having to hole a 12-footer for par.

He stays at evens, one better than Scheffler who also makes par.

Just one birdie for Scottie so far whose official status is 'hanging in there'.

Playing on the other nine, DeChambeau confidently knocks in a birdie putt on his 12th (the third) after a towering approach and joins McIlroy and Pavon on 3-under.

He can't do that here and this is an extremely different test but the monster hitter is still making an excellent fist of this, sitting at -2 after 11.

In reality, he's a highly-talented 21-year-old amateur with lots of game, as shown by a delightful approach at 9 which sets up a tap-in birdie.

Sargent finished 39th in last year's at LA Country Club.

He opened with a birdie at 10 although it remains the only red number he's scribbled on his scorecard.

But with just one bogey (at 16) he's going along nicely enough at even par.

The Englishman has work to do at No.

2 (his 11th) after missing one of the hardest greens on the course to hit but a nifty chip allows him to save par.

Playing partner Tyrrell Hatton gives one back though and returns to -1 after failing to get up and down.

He's not happy, as you would imagine.

'I thought I did the one thing I needed to do today which was drive the ball well.

I did that but I just didn't capitalize on any of it.

' It's a fair assessment.

The 15-time major winner found 12 of 14 fairways but only hit nine greens in regulation.

He also needed 32 putts.

Woods is currently nine off the pace and 117th in the 156-man field.

McIlroy strolls off looking intently at the marking on his golf ball as he tends to do when he's done a good thing.

Up to -3.

Schauffele two-putts for birdie to return to even par but it's a missed opportunity for Scheffler.

He leaves himself 11 feet for birdie at 10 and a graphic says a tour pro knocks these in 33% of the time.

Scottie is in the other 67% though and pushes it right to remain at +1.

He putts up and over the hill to within likely birdie range.

It's all looking good
