The first round of the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow has concluded, with Jhonattan Vegas leading the pack at an impressive seven under par. Following closely behind are Cam Davis and Ryan Gerard, both sitting two strokes back in a tie for second place.
In contrast, Rory McIlroy experienced a challenging round, finishing at three over par as he struggled to replicate the success he enjoyed at last month’s Masters. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler managed to secure a score of two under par, despite a controversial arrest at last year’s event. Defending champion Xander Schauffele finished at one over par, finding himself in the midst of a challenging performance alongside his playing partners.
Both Scheffler and Schauffele expressed their displeasure with the rules officials after being required to play with mud balls, as the decision not to permit preferred lies impacted their games.
As the tournament progresses, fans can stay updated on the action as Round 2 unfolds.
The competitive spirit of the PGA Championship continues to shine, highlighting both the challenges players face and the resilience they demonstrate on the course. With seasoned veterans like Vegas, Davis, and Gerard in contention, the next rounds promise thrilling moments as they strive for victory.
