He caught fire from the jump to shoot three-under through two holes, but stalled out from there in difficult conditions. The world number one concluded Thursday’s play with an opening round of 70, five shots behind the leading Rory McIlroy.
Scheffler looked out of sorts in the build-up to The Masters, finishing outside of the top 20 in his last two events, and he hasn’t played since The Players. His poor performances have typically featured disastrous Thursdays, so this is a promising sign. Still, he wasn’t in peak form, and he admitted as much after the round.

The two-time Masters winner said, “I feel like I played really solid. There were a few putts I felt like I made that lipped out or stayed right on the edge.
But other than that, really, really a lot of good stuff. I hit it nice. Drove it well today.
