Mistakes mar Tiger Woods’ solid play at PGA Championship

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – Tiger Woods didn’t come to Bethpage Black on Wednesday after falling ill. He said he felt fine during the first round of the PGA Championship, though. It was just the sloppy mistakes that made him sick. Woods drove the ball well enough to contend at Bethpage Black, but his steady ball-striking was outweighed by too many sloppy shots when he had short clubs in hand. Bethpage Black is a long, brutish course lined by rough so thick that players are struggling even to hit mid-irons out of it. Woods missed just four fairways while hitting driver off a majority of the tees. And he had birdie putts on nine of his final 10 holes to steady himself after making two double-bogeys on his opening nine. But he three-putted twice on his back nine and signed for a 72. He sat nine shots off Brooks Koepka’s lead after that frustrating first round. “It wasn’t as clean as I’d like to have it for sure,â€� Woods said. His score was about three-quarters of a shot below the field average in the morning. RELATED: Leaderboard | Tee times | Rethinking Tiger’s future | Tiger ‘welcomes’ playing in Olympics The miscues started on his first hole, the 502-yard 10th. He had to chop out of the rough after his ball barely missed the fairway. He air-mailed the hole with his 85-yard wedge shot en route to a double-bogey. He sailed a similar shot over the green on the par-5 13th. He saved par but it was a missed opportunity on one of two par-5s on the course. That was his only sloppy shot on the six holes between his double-bogeys on Nos. 10 and 17. He appeared to be in control during those six holes, making all pars and a birdie at 15 after a strong long-iron approach to the uphill green. Then his tee shot plugged in the front bunker on 17, a long par-3, and he compounded that bad break by racing his par putt past the hole and missing his comebacker. Woods atoned for all those mistakes with the start of his front nine. This may be the PGA Championship in name, but it is playing just as difficult as the two U.S. Opens that visited this municipal masterpiece on Long Island. Just reaching red figures is an accomplishment, and that’s what Woods did after playing the first four holes of the front nine in 4 under par (a missed 9-footer was the only thing that kept him from playing that stretch in 5 under). He started his second nine with a deft recovery from the trees right of the first fairway. Then he knocked a wedge stiff on the second hole. He lasered a long-iron within 10 feet on the long par-3 third hole (but missed the putt). And then there was the eagle at the par-5 fourth, one of the rare reprieves on this punishing course. He holed a 31-footer for eagle there and the New York fans responded with voracious roars. It was his first eagle at the PGA Championship since 2001. His time below par was short-lived. He bogeyed three of his next four holes, including two three-putts. The other came after he raced a relatively straightforward chip 8 feet past the hole on the par-3 eighth. Woods faced five putts from 5-10 feet on Thursday. He missed them all. Woods lost nearly a stroke on the greens (-0.91). “I let a couple slip away with a couple bad putts and a couple mistakes at the end,â€� he said. The scorecard said Bethpage Black was 7,406 yards on Thursday, but the wet ground and cool weather made it feel even longer. Woods had to hit long-iron into several holes after averaging just 281 yards off the tee. Half of his approach shots were from outside 190 yards. “When I had opportunities there with short irons, I was aggressive,â€� Woods said. “And I was able to get the ball in there relatively close. Otherwise, it felt like I hit a lot of 4-irons and 5-irons in there, and it was hard to get the ball close.â€� Bethpage Black may be known for its length, but it was the short shots that gave him the most trouble Thursday. ROUND 1: TIGER HOLE-BY-HOLE No. 10 (par 4, 502 yards): Not an ideal start for Tiger. He needed four shots just to reach the green, then missed a 6-foot putt for bogey. He isn’t the only player to struggle on No. 10, though. Early on Thursday, it’s playing as the second-hardest hole at Bethpage Black. The average score is 4.6. Woods’ 6 is the fifth double-bogey or worse on the hole. It started with the tee shot. Woods hit a high fade with the driver that barely missed the fairway. In a sign of how thick the rough is this week, Woods had to lay up from 201 yards. His biggest error came on his next shot, an 85-yard wedge shot that flew the hole by 20 yards. He couldn’t get up and down from the short grass behind the green. Fairways hit: 0 for 1 Greens hit: 0 for 1 Putts: 2 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: -0.12 Approach: -0.85 Around-the-Green: -0.01 Putting: -0.51 SCORE: Double bogey (2 over through 1 hole) No. 11 (par 4, 435 yards): Woods looks like he has things back under control. He hits the fairway and green, then two-putts from 44 feet for par after burning the edge on his long birdie putt. This is what he needed to settle in after that tough start on 10. Fairways hit: 1 for 2 Greens hit: 1 for 2 Putts: 4 Score: +2 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: -0.05 Approach: -0.92 Around-the-Green: -0.02 Putting: -0.43 Total: -1.22 SCORE: Par (2 over through 2 holes) No. 12 (par 4, 515 yards): Another driver. Another high fade. This one finds the fairway, but it only traveled 277 yards. Tiger has 230 yards left, but at least it’s from the short grass. Woods leads the TOUR in greens hit, so finding the fairways is the first priority and he proves that by knocking it on the green. For the second straight hole, Woods almost rolls in the long birdie putt. It’s another two-putt par. Things are going smoothly after that tough start. Fairways hit: 2 for 3 Greens hit: 2 for 3 Putts: 6 Score: +2 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: -0.08 Approach: -0.57 Around-the-Green: -0.01 Putting: -0.39 Total: -0.79 SCORE: Par (2 over through 3 holes) No. 13 (par 5, 608 yards): Hitting it far is important at Bethpage Black, but not with wedges in hand. Woods has flown the green both times he’s had a shot from inside 100 yards. This time it was with his 87-yard third shot at the par-5 13th. He did save par from behind the green but it’s a missed birdie opportunity on one of the two par-5s on Bethpage Black. On the plus side, Woods has hit three consecutive fairways and made three consecutive pars after that opening double bogey. Fairways hit: 3 of 4 Greens hit: 2 of 4 Putts: 7 Score: +2 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: -0.10 Approach: -0.94 Around-the-Green: +0.19 Putting: -0.39 Total: -0.95 SCORE: Par (2 over through 4 holes) No. 14 (par 3, 161 yards): Two-putt pars are always a good thing at Bethpage Black, but this was another missed birdie opportunity on a course that doesn’t offer many of them. The pin was back-right on this short par-3, but Woods couldn’t get his tee shot onto the back shelf. He has yet to hit an approach shot within 30 feet of the hole. Woods walked off the green with his fourth straight par after holing a 4-foot putt. Fairways hit: 3 of 4 Greens hit: 3 of 5 Putts: 9 Score: +2 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: -0.10 Approach: -0.93 Around-the-Green: +0.20 Putting: -0.39 Total: -1.08 SCORE: Par (2 over through 5 holes) No. 15 (par 4, 484 yards): Tiger’s first birdie of the day comes on one of the toughest holes, the uphill 15th. It’s just the second birdie of the day on 486-yard hole. It started with another strong tee shot, a cut driver that found the fairway for the fourth consecutive time. Then he hit a 208-yard approach to 16 feet. Woods has looked solid. His driver is under control and his iron game is impeccable per usual. His only mistake thus far has been the two wedges that air-mailed the green. Fairways hit: 4 of 5 Greens hit: 4 of 6 Putts: 10 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: -0.05 Approach: -0.55 Around-the-Green: +0.21 Putting: +-0.43 Total: +0.24 SCORE: Birdie (1 over through 6 holes) No. 16 (par 4, 490 yards): That was a good old-fashioned grinding par for Tiger. He missed his first fairway since No. 10 after his drive didn’t cut enough. He gouged one out of the thick stuff, and was able to roll it to within 30 yards of the hole. He pitched to 4 feet and walked away with a par that had to put a pep in his step. Those kind of pars will be important this week. Fairways hit: 4 of 6 Greens hit: 4 of 7 Putts: 11 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: -0.02 Approach: -0.82 Around-the-Green: +0.59 Putting: +0.54 Total: +0.23 SCORE: Par (1 over through 7 holes) No. 17 (par 3, 207 yards): All that good momentum may have gone out the window with a double-bogey on 17, his second of the day. Woods’ tee shot on the par-3 plugged in a bunker. He hit that sand shot to 30 feet, then inexplicably three-putted from the fringe after racing his par putt 8 feet past the hole. This one was a head-shaker. Fairways hit: 4 of 6 Greens hit: 4 of 8 Putts: 13 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: -0.01 Approach: -1.21 Around-the-Green: -0.41 Putting: +0.02 Total: -1.48 SCORE: Double-bogey (3 over through 8 holes) No. 18 (par 4, 411 yards): Tiger makes the turn after a solid par at the 18th hole. He split the fairway and knocked his approach to 18 feet. He makes the turn in 3 over after playing seven solid holes and two head-scratching ones. SCORE: Par (3 over through 9 holes) FIRST 9 STATS Fairways hit: 5 of 7 Greens hit: 5 of 9 Putts: 15 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: +0.13 Approach: -1.13 Around-the-Green: -0.37 Putting: -0.23 Total: -1.64 No. 1 (par 4, 430 yards): A bounce-back birdie, and this was a hard-earned one. It didn’t look like a 3 was possible after Woods’ tee shot landed underneath the trees that protect the inside of this severe dogleg-right. He was able to gouge one out of the rough and onto the green, though. He finished it off with a 14-foot birdie putt. Tiger has two birdies and two doubles. He’s parred the other six holes. Fairways hit: 5 of 8 Greens hit: 6 of 10 Putts: 16 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: +0.12 Approach: -0.86 Around-the-Green: -0.36 Putting: +0.56 Total: -0.74 SCORE: Birdie (2 over through 10 holes) No. 2 (par 4, 389 yards): Back-to-back birdies to start his back nine. The first one was a master-class in scrambling. This one was a textbook 3 on the course’s shortest par-4. He lasered a fairway-wood into the left side of the fairway, then knocked his 110-yard approach to 3 feet. Fairways hit: 6 of 9 Greens hit: 7 of 11 Putts: 17 Score: +1 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: +0.30 Approach: -0.12 Around-the-Green: -0.32 Putting: +0.60 Total: +0.34 SCORE: Birdie (1 over through 11 holes) No. 3 (par 3, 230 yards): Tiger lasered a long-iron within 10 feet on the 235-yard hole but was unable to convert the tee shot for birdie. Still, Woods’ card is only marred by those two doubles. He has three birdies and seven pars on the other 10 holes. Fairways hit: 6 of 9 Greens hit: 8 of 12 Putts: 19 Score: +1 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: +0.31 Approach: +0.54 Around-the-Green: -0.33 Putting: +0.16 Total: +0.70 SCORE: Par (1 over through 12 holes) No. 4 (par 5, 517 yards): Tiger is under par and on the leaderboard after holing a 31-foot eagle putt at this hole. It’s his first eagle at the PGA Championship since 2001, and just his third at this event. He’s played the first four holes of his back nine in 4 under par. He was a 9-foot birdie putt from playing those four holes in 5 under. It’s an incredible turnaround. He played this hole beautifully, hitting a 298-yard drive and then hitting the middle of the green from 210 yards. His long-iron play has been impeccable today. This was the latest example. Fairways hit: 7 of 11 Greens hit: 9 of 13 Putts: 20 Score: -1 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: +0.57 Approach: +0.81 Around-the-Green: -0.32 Putting: +1.10 Total: +2.30 SCORE: Eagle (1 under through 13 holes) No. 5 (par 4, 478 yards): Well, that was a letdown. After an eagle that brought the roars to Bethpage, Tiger three-putted for his first bogey of the day. He raced his 32-foot putt about 4 feet by the hole, then missed the comebacker. Woods is even par despite missing four putts from inside 10 feet already today. Fairways hit: 8 of 12 Greens hit: 10 of 14 Putts: 23 Score: E Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: +0.65 Approach: +0.94 Around-the-Green: -0.32 Putting: +0.08 Total: +1.72  SCORE: Bogey (Even through 14 holes) No. 6 (par 4, 408 yards): Tiger found trouble off the tee on the course’s second-shortest par-4, but he was able to hit the green from the fairway bunker. After three-putting from 30 feet on the previous hole, Tiger makes a tidy two-putt from 50 feet. Fairways hit: 8 of 12 Greens hit: 11 of 15 Putts: 25 Score: E Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: +0.36 Approach: +1.11 Around-the-Green: -0.31 Putting: +0.19 Total: +1.81 SCORE: Par (Even through 15 holes) No. 7 (par 4, 524 yards): That’s two three-putts in his last three holes. Tiger has hit eight consecutive greens in regulation, but after playing the first four holes of the front nine in 4 under par he’s given two of those strokes back because of poor lag putting. Woods had 55 feet for birdie on this converted par-5 but left it 6 feet short. Woods is back to 1 over par. Fairways hit: 9 of 13 Greens hit: 12 of 16 Putts: 28 Score: +1 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: +0.39 Approach: +1.21 Around-the-Green: -0.31 Putting: -0.60 Total: +1.07 SCORE: Bogey (1 over through 16 holes) No. 8 (par 3, 210 yards): Woods streak of eight consecutive greens hit came to an end by mere inches. His tee shot on the longpar-3 came to rest in the first cut. He was left with a straightforward chip shot but raced it 9 feet by the hole. He missed it, his sixth miss from inside 10 feet today. He’s missed all five of his attempts from 5-10 feet. It’s his third bogey in his last four holes. Fairways hit: 9 of 13 Greens hit: 12 of 17 Putts: 30 Score: +2 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: +0.41 Approach: +1.11 Around-the-Green: -0.57 Putting: -1.04 Total: +0.53 SCORE: Bogey (2 over through 17 holes) No. 9 (par 4, 460 yards): Woods two-putts from 28 feet to walk away with 72, a score that has to be disappointing after making eagle on his 13th hole to get into red figures. He bogeyed three of his last five holes despite steady ballstriking on his back nine. Woods had birdie putts on nine of his last 10 holes but only played them in 1 under par. He three-putted twice on his back nine. Fairways hit: 10 of 14 Greens hit: 12 of 18 Putts: 31 Score: +2 Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee: +0.55 Approach: +1.13 Around-the-Green: -0.52 Putting: -1.03 Total: +0.76 ROUND 1 SCORE: 2-over 72

Bracket breakdown: WGC-Dell Technologies Match PlayBracket breakdown: WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play

Groupings for the 2021 World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play were announced Monday morning, with group play scheduled to begin on Wednesday at Austin Country Club. No. 1 seed Dustin Johnson, who enters the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play as the top seed for the fourth consecutive year, will look to add to his 2017 title at Austin Country Club. He will go against Kevin Na (28), Robert MacIntyre (41) and Adam Long (61). RELATED: Tee times | Print your bracket | Play the Bracket Challenge Defending champion Kevin Kisner (34), who won the 2019 event as the No. 48 seed, will begin his long-awaited title defense, joining recent PLAYERS champion Justin Thomas (2), Louis Oosthuizen (22) and Matt Kuchar (52). Kisner defeated Kuchar, the 2013 champion, in the 2019 Championship match, 3 and 2. Oosthuizen has also advanced to the Championship match at Austin Country Club, falling to Jason Day in 2016. Thomas has advanced out of group play in one of four previous appearances at Austin Country Club. In 2018, Thomas advanced to the Semifinals before falling to eventual champion Bubba Watson, 3 and 2. Former University of Texas standout Jordan Spieth (49) lands in Group 15 with Matt Fitzpatrick (15), Matthew Wolff (20) and Corey Conners (37). In four career starts in the event at Austin Country Club, Spieth advanced out of his group in 2016 and was defeated by Oosthuizen, 4 and 2, in the round of 16. Pool play will take place Wednesday through Friday, with each player competing once against the other players in his pool. The player with the best record from each pool - ties will be broken via sudden-death playoff - will advance to the Round of 16, which will take place Saturday along with the quarterfinals. The semifinals and final will be played Sunday. The groupings for the 2021 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play are listed below. Our team at PGATOUR.COM compiled some quick notes on each. Group 1 Dustin Johnson (1) Kevin Na (34) Robert MacIntyre (41) Adam Long (61) The favorite: Dustin Johnson. The reigning FedExCup champion also won this event in 2017. He's uncharacteristically finished T48 and T54 in his past two starts. Bracket buster (lower-ranked player to keep an eye on): Kevin Na. The winner of this year's Sony Open in Hawaii was a quarterfinalist in 2019 and made the Round of 16 in 2017. Favorite match: Johnson vs. Na. I always enjoy when players with drastically different games face off. The long and short of it is that these guys approach courses in drastically different fashion. Group 2 Justin Thomas (2) Louis Oosthuizen (22) Kevin Kisner (34) Matt Kuchar (52) The favorite: Justin Thomas. The TOUR's top iron player put on a ball-striking clinic in his win at THE PLAYERS. It's easy to imagine that run continuing in Austin. Bracket buster: Kevin Kisner. He's not only the defending champion. He also was runner-up in 2018 to Bubba Waston. Match play offers an opportunity for him to display his mettle. Favorite match: Thomas vs. Kisner. Two great iron players and it's easy to imagine the trash talking would be off the charts as well. Group 3 Jon Rahm (3) Ryan Palmer (24) Shane Lowry (38) Sebastian Munoz (56) The favorite: Jon Rahm. He was the runner-up to Johnson in 2017. His T9 at THE PLAYERS was his sixth top-10 in his last eight starts. The consistent, all-around game makes him a good fit for match play. Bracket buster: Shane Lowry. The Open champion finished eighth at THE PLAYERS and was in contention through three rounds last week at The Honda. He already owns one World Golf Championship, as well. Favorite match: Rahm vs. Ryan Palmer. We'll call this one a friendly rivalry. The two are the defending champions at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans after forming an unexpected pairing at TPC Louisiana. Group 4 Collin Morikawa (4) Billy Horschel (32) Max Homa (35) J.T. Poston (63) The favorite: Collin Morikawa. Right alongside Thomas on the short list of the TOUR's best iron players. Recently won the WGC-Workday Championship at The Concession to become the only player other than Tiger Woods to win a major and WGC before turning 25. Bracket buster: Max Homa. He thrives on tough courses, winning The Genesis Invitational this year after claiming the Wells Fargo Championship in 2019. His favorite word is ‘relentless,' a trait that will be needed this week. Favorite match: Collin Morikawa vs. Max Homa. The ratings for this showdown will be through the roof in Berkeley, California, where both attended college. Homa once said of Morikawa:"His ball striking is so good. He's basically a robot. I'm not sure I've ever seen him hit a bad shot." Group 5 Bryson DeChambeau (5) Tommy Fleetwood (21) Si Woo Kim (45) Antoine Rozner (58) The favorite: Bryson DeChambeau. Everything is bigger in Texas except for DeChambeau, who recently admitted that he backed off his bodybuilding endeavor and has lost a little weight. He comes in on a hot streak, though, winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard before finishing third at THE PLAYERS. Bracket buster: Antoine Rozner. He snuck into the field with his win at the Qatar Masters, his second win in his last six European Tour starts. Favorite match: DeChambeau vs. Fleetwood. Brute strength against a player known for precise iron play. DeChambeau saw it firsthand when he and Tiger Woods were beat, 5 and 4, by Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari in a foursomes match at the most recent Ryder Cup. Group 6 Xander Schauffele (6) Scottie Scheffler (30) Jason Day (44) Andy Sullivan (57) The favorite: Xander Schauffele. He's coming off an uncharacteristic MC at THE PLAYERS after finishing in the top 25 in 24 of his previous 27 starts. He barely missed the Round of 16 in his previous two Match Play appearances. Bracket buster: Jason Day. He recently changed to swing coach Chris Como and is playing a mixed bag of equipment after not renewing with TaylorMade. He's finished no worse than T35 in his last four starts, and let's not forget that he won this event in 2014 and 2016. Favorite match: Schauffele vs. Scottie Scheffler. This match should be sch-weet (get it?). Scheffler is familiar with Austin CC after playing his college golf at Texas and he won the U.S. Junior, so he's had some success as an amateur. The reigning Rookie of the Year is looking for his first TOUR win and maybe this is the week he gets it. Group 7 Patrick Reed (7) Joaquin Niemann (26) Christiaan Bezuidenhout (33) Bubba Watson (55) The favorite: Patrick Reed. He famously went 6-0 in match play to lead Augusta State to consecutive NCAA titles. His Captain America persona was burnished by his performance in the Ryder and Presidents cups. Let's just say he loves mano-a-mano situations, and he won earlier this year at the Farmers Insurance Open. Bracket buster: Christiaan Bezuidenhout. There's always an international player who's introduced to us at these World Golf Championships, and Bezuidenhout seems like a prime candidate. He recently finished seventh at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. Favorite match: Patrick Reed vs. Bubba Watson. This will be an old-school affair. Reed is a grinder, relying on his nifty short game, while no one in the game curves it like Watson, the 2018 winner of this event. Group 8 Tyrrell Hatton (8) Lee Westwood (18) Sergio Garcia (39) Matt Wallace (51) The favorite: Tyrrell Hatton. He's won three big titles in little more than a year - the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard and BMW Championship in 2020, followed by the Abu Dhabi championship earlier this year. His MC at THE PLAYERS is his only finish outside the top 25 this year. Bracket buster: Sergio Garcia. He's in the midst of a resurgence after a win at the Sanderson Farms Championship and strong showing at THE PLAYERS. He also is a part-time resident of Austin and made it to the Round of 16 in the past two playings of this event. Favorite match: Hatton vs. Lee Westwood. A generational tussle between two of England's finest. Westwood ran out of steam at The Honda Classic, but that shouldn't overshadow his strong play at Bay Hill and TPC Sawgrass. Group 9 Webb Simpson (9) Paul Casey (17) Mackenzie Hughes (48) Talor Gooch (59) The favorite: Webb Simpson. He seems to thrive on Pete Dye designs that favor precision over power. He has wins at the Dye-designed Harbour Town (2020 RBC Heritage), TPC Sawgrass (2018 THE PLAYERS) and TPC of Louisiana (2011 Zurich Classic of New Orleans). Bracket buster: Talor Gooch. The Texas resident may catch the field by surprise after sneaking into the field by surprise after sneaking into the field with a T5 finish at THE PLAYERS. He's 33rd on TOUR this season in Strokes Gained: Total. Favorite match: Simpson vs. Paul Casey. Casey will be a tough out. He's made the Round of 16 in three of the last five years. Group 10 Patrick Cantlay (10) Hideki Matsuyama (23) Carlos Ortiz (42) Brian Harman (54) The favorite: Patrick Cantlay. Before a missed cut at THE PLAYERS, he was riding a streak of six straight top-20s, including a win at the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ Sherwood. A solid all-around game should suit him in this format. He barely missed the Round of 16 in his previous two appearances. Bracket buster: Brian Harman. The lefty is made in the mold of his fellow Georgia Bulldog, Kevin Kisner. He was a decorated amateur in part because of his match-play prowess. He won the U.S. Junior and played with Anthony Kim in the Walker Cup before starting college. Favorite match: Cantlay vs. Hideki Matsuyama. This will allow me to make references to their tight battle for low-amateur honors in the 2012 Masters. Look it up. It was a doozy. Group 11 Rory McIlroy (11) Cameron Smith (25) Lanto Griffin (46) Ian Poulter (60) The favorite: Rory McIlroy. He looked a bit lost leaving TPC Sawgrass but is still one of the world's best players and there would be no surprise if he sorted out in his week off. He also won the first edition of this championship that used the pool-play format (2015). Bracket buster: Cameron Smith. The Aussie with the nifty short game will be a tough out. He's also coming off three straight top-20s in big events (fourth, Genesis Invitational; T11, WGC-Workday; T17, THE PLAYERS). Favorite match: McIlroy vs. Poulter: McIlroy has all the physical talent in the world, but Poulter makes up for it with grit and his putter. Should be a fun match. Group 12 Tony Finau (12) Jason Kokrak (29) Will Zalatoris (40) Dylan Frittelli (64) The favorite: Ultra-steady Finau has top-10 finishes in five of his last eight starts, including a playoff loss at The Genesis Invitational. He was a tough out in match play at the 2019 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne, where he boosted the U.S. Team with three crucial ties and went 0-1-3. Bracket buster: Jason Kokrak is coming off three straight top-10 finishes, including a T9 at THE PLAYERS Championship, where his final-round 67 was one of the best of the day. Favorite match: Kokrak vs. Will Zalatoris. Although Kokrak is the hottest player in the group, Zalatoris has nothing to lose and is coming off a solid Florida swing that included a top-25 at THE PLAYERS and T10 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. Group 13 Viktor Hovland (13) Abraham Ancer (27) Bernd Wiesberger (43) Kevin Streelman (53) The favorite: FedExCup No. 4 Viktor Hovland has been on a dizzying ascent with five top-15 finishes in his last eight starts, including his second TOUR win at the Mayakoba Golf Classic presented by UNIFIN. Missed cut at THE PLAYERS was his first in over a year. Bracket buster: Ancer will no doubt be in a fine mood after watching close friend Roberto Diaz win on the Korn Ferry Tour, and went 3-1-1 at the 2019 Presidents Cup. Favorite match: Ancer and Hovland aren't giants by height but they're two players you might really like to avoid in match play. They'll lock horns in first-round action Wednesday. Group 14 Daniel Berger (14) Harris English (19) Brendon Todd (47) Erik van Rooyen (62) Favorite: FedExCup No. 15 Berger, who won the Charles Schwab Challenge when the TOUR returned last June, has kept his foot on the gas this season. His four top-10 finishes in 10 starts include another victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am just last month. Bracket buster: With the pandemic cancelling last year's tournament, streaky Brendon Todd will be making his first start in Austin since revitalizing his career at the end of 2019. Favorite match: First-rounder between Berger (AT&T Pebble Beach) and English (Sentry Tournament of Champions) features two recent winners and FSU/Georgia flavor. English also WD'd from THE PLAYERS with an injury, adding intrigue. Group 15 Matt Fitzpatrick (15) Matthew Wolff (20) Corey Conners (37) Jordan Spieth (49) Favorite: England's Fitzpatrick is not only the hottest in this group, he's also one of the hottest in the field after top-10 finishes in three of his last four starts and a T11 in the other. Bracket buster: Quiet, unassuming Corey Conners of Canada contended at THE PLAYERS (solo 7th) and the Arnold Palmer Invitational (solo third). He'd shock no one by winning the group. Favorite match: Jordan Spieth vs. Matthew Wolff. Can a resurgent Spieth keep up his recent run of good play? Is Wolff healthy again after a frustrating start to 2021? Stay tuned as two guys who have been called America's next great player battle it out for the point. Group 16 Sungjae Im (16) Victor Perez (31) Marc Leishman (36) Russell Henley (50) Favorite: This is the first WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play start for Im, who is coming off a T8 in his defense at The Honda Classic. His T17 at THE PLAYERS featured a final-round 66. Bracket buster: Henley is coming off a final-round 68 and a T3 finish at The Honda Classic, where he led the field in Strokes Gained: Putting (+8.169) for the week. Favorite match: Henley vs. Leishman. Underdog Leishman easy to overlook after missing the cut in his last two TOUR starts but finished T9 the last time this tournament was held, in 2019.

Reavie-Glover, Xhang-Dou share Zurich Classic leadReavie-Glover, Xhang-Dou share Zurich Classic lead

AVONDALE, La. — Chez Reavie and Lucas Glover teamed to shoot a 12-under 60 on Thursday for a share of the Zurich Classic lead with China’s Zhang Xinjun and Dou Zecheng. Reavie and Glover each had six birdies in the best-ball format, pushing through soggy weather early in the round before conditions cleared at TPC Louisiana. Zhang and Dou birdied four of their final five holes. Tony Finau-Daniel Summerhays, Chris Paisley-Tommy Fleetwood, J.J. Henry-Tom Hoge, Michael Kim-Andrew Putnam, Kevin Kisner-Scott Brown and Troy Merritt-Brendon de Jonge were tied for third at 62. Jason Day and Ryan Ruffels shot 64, Masters champion Patrick Reed and Patrick Cantlay had a 65, and Jordan Spieth and Ryan Palmer were at 66. This is the second year that two-player teams have competed at the Zurich Classic. The unusual tournament features best-ball play in the first and third rounds and alternate shot in the second and final rounds.
