adequately described his opening round<\/a> as \u201cs**t.\u201d<\/p>\nIt was a rough start for Bryson DeChambeau, as well. The LIV Golf star came in at 6-over, needing a birdie at 18 to just get there. He\u2019ll have a lot of work to do on Friday to even make the cut.<\/p>\n
With those two out of the way, Scheffler flew ahead in the late wave. He posted a 3-under 67 to grab a share of the lead with a massive group, which actually marked the first time in his career that he\u2019s held at least a share of the lead after the opening round at a major championship.<\/p>\n
But with plenty around, the Wanamaker Trophy is still very much up for grabs. We\u2019ll see what happens Friday.<\/p>\n
