Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth, both raised in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, made their highly anticipated PGA Tour season debuts at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The two former Texas Longhorns remain within striking distance of the leaderboard after solid opening rounds.
Scheffler, returning from a month-long break due to an unusual ravioli-related injury, showcased his sharp form at Spyglass Hill. Despite an early bogey, he remained steady, missing just one green and carding an impressive 5-under 67. His strong performance reaffirmed his status among the world’s top golfers.
Jordan Spieth also delivered a competitive start, demonstrating his signature creativity around the greens. The three-time major champion navigated Pebble Beach’s challenging layout with precision, positioning himself well for a weekend charge. With experience and past success at this event, Spieth remains a contender.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry each recorded hole-in-ones on different courses, adding excitement to the opening round. Russell Henley’s late birdies secured him the lead at 8-under 64. As the tournament progresses, Scheffler and Spieth will aim to build momentum and contend for the title.
