After Round 1, five players, including Matt Fitzpatrick and Harris English, share the lead after carding 4-under rounds of 67. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is one shot back at 3-under, and Rory McIlroy, who hails from Northern Ireland, opened with a 1-under 70. Defending champion Xander Schauffele started his title defense with an even-par 71.
