The PGA TOUR’s Florida swing continues as Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge hosts the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. This event is the second of three player-hosted invitationals (along with Tiger Woods’ The Genesis Invitational and Jack Nicklaus’ the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday). ­World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be in the field this week. The American has gone T4-1-T15 in his last three Arnold Palmer Invitational starts and hasn’t finished worse than T17 in his last five TOUR starts – including three straight top-10s. Rory McIlroy will also be teeing it up in Florida this week. He’s had past success here claiming victory in 2018 and finishing runner-up two years ago. The Northern Irishman has also made nine out of nine cuts and claimed six top-10s previously in this event. Reigning FedExCup champion Viktor Hovland is also back in action this week. Hovland last teed it up at The Genesis Invitational where he finished tied for 19th. He has recorded back-to-back top-10 results at Bay Hill, including a runner-up in 2022. Others to look out for are Jordan Spieth, Max Homa, Justin Thomas and Austin Eckroat.

That was really well done yeah it really was it still jumped a little bit but that’s kick in par is just fine go on Rory bailed on it just a touch yeah you saw that up just oh je that’s his bail that’s what he was doing last year it’s just incredible that’s

His mail he gets to hit it ball yeah Rory’s got no option this has to land short yeah but takes it too hard oh he hit it too hard he flew it onto the Fringe oh look this is going to go almost off the green on that edge just

Stays yeah that’s the Morris household there gentlemen and they got to watch Rory pull a t-shot Into the Bunker maybe he can carry it yeah you’ll see that a lot Taylor uh all right the third Rory pretty straightforward Mark shiny grass looks like it was down gray and that makes

Contact easier just rumbles on to about 78 ft he should at worst be too under really well your call is so well founded I mean this is Rory best driver of the ball in the game and who’s driving it real well right now and he’s even par

For the week on these power fs and that is ludicrous because the power fivs to me are kind of the underbelly of the golf course it’s where you have to make your score wide stance there almost playing this like a bunker shot go gosh came out so

Fat boy it stopped his Club almost immediately too it looks like he’s going over how’s curtain yeah there’s out of bounds right here but he’s going to take it right over the the corner of the dog leg low and hogy are up on the Green

Oh my gosh he just drove it right on the green he made Bogies at seven and eight so no wonder he’s in a little bit of a bad mood just lacking a little bit of speed little more work left than he would have liked to try to get back on

Track not quite getting what he wanted out of his round he’s not going to be happy if he three putts after driving in the green yeah that was good looking stroke right there maybe that gets him turned around he’s had a lot of success around here better hit the ground flirting left

Oh no no it won’t yeah that went straight into the hazard so unfortunate for mroy this looking pretty good also look at very good all right don’t spin too much that’s nicely under the hole so you know Robert and I were talking about just driving the ball down your way back

In the day players used to lay back four in the end all right so confidence for Rory mroy so he does not drop a shot despite going in the hazard here at the 11th provided by trackman uh just don’t keep it going right when that it was kind of pushing it that way

Not sure if it caught Fairway or not no it did absolutely did this towering high and at it yeah nice one that’s going to come up well short for Rory at the front of the green oh well that’s inexcusable this one’s not short that’s going to be really good

Speed kind of drifting off to the left but big gust of wind coming through though wouldn’t surprise me if he backs off no all right confident so [Applause] Rory find it all right there you go so Rory [Applause] maoy it’s definitely hurting that got blown up by the wind there come up way

Short wow well the line was good no I had a good I Rory’s got 33 yards left for his second On a par three holy power outage what happened there it’s been okay he started off not hitting bad butts but really making nothing but he’s turned it

Around and been rolling it very well just like [Applause] so he looks really good into the wind flies at [Applause] 289 yeah just real TR to cut it up yeah but he’s double crossed it pulled it [Applause] left all right stays on The Fringe that is just [Applause] fine

It’s one of those puts that you can go ahead and hit because it’s kind of into the grain at the very end so don’t you think Robert that was a pretty uh pretty well done there he’s four under on the back [Applause] nine yep conditions see that flag that pond

And this is the final part three day 179 yards Rory M Rory putting for birdie fax well Harry Diamond told me when they were making the turn he’s never seen Rory so upset after his three- putt bogey on seven and his bogey on eight and now

Look at that back nine he drove the 10th green for the first first time in tournament history and made two puts from off The Fringe now both on 13 and on 17 oh look at this perfect angle kicked a little bit to the left off The Fringe slight break back to the

Right mooy magic and mroy second coming home from 133 down off the left today this front pin this will be green light from here Yeah and what a finish this could be for maroy this from 19 ft he was plus one for the tournament when he came to the 10th hole earlier today and how about this back nine of 30 crazy stuff birdie six of the last nine coming

Home he had just 10 putts in the final nine holes thanks for watching the PJ Tour on YouTube to watch more click here and to subscribe click here
