Scottie Scheffler reacts after a brilliant opening round at the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink, where he put himself right at the top of the leaderboard after Round 1.
Scheffler says it was his best start of the year, especially after recent tournaments where he felt he had given the field too many shots early before finishing runner-up. He also talks about hitting 13 of 14 fairways, why Aronimink rewards playing from the fairway, and how difficult it still is to make birdies on the sloping greens.
The World No. 1 also explains why he could only laugh after missing a tricky putt on the 14th green, and shares his reaction to getting chirped by Philadelphia fans for being a Dallas Cowboys fan.

You can't win a tournament on the first day, but you can sure as hell lose it. Ask Bryson & Rory.
