Scottie Scheffler turned his hometown start into a statement, torching TPC Craig Ranch with a spotless 10-under 61 and a front-nine 29 that included a near-albatross eagle on No. 9. In today’s show we break down every angle of Round 1 at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson:
- Inside Scheffler’s round – why he’s ignoring the scoreboard, how a soggy Texas track still played firm for him, and what it was like pairing with Jordan Spieth.
- Chasing pack – Rico Hoey and Jhonattan Vegas ride matching 63s to sit two back, while a seven-man 64 logjam—Jaeger, Thorbjornsen, Champ and more—keeps the leaderboard bunched.
- Course talk – from a washed-out pro-am to rave reviews about Craig Ranch’s drainage, plus why thicker rough could be the secret scoring separator this year.
- Notables & surprises – Spieth stalls at 69, defending champ Taylor Pendrith opens with 67, Cameron Champ sneaks in after late WDs, and Aussies Karl Vilips & Aaron Baddeley fly the flag.
- On the range – gear tweaks, fill-in caddies (shout-out Joel Dahmen), and round-one mindset gems straight from player interviews.
If you want every stat, quote, and storyline from Thursday in McKinney—hit play and get caught up before Round 2 begins.
