The PGA Championship, the second major of 2025, is underway at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina. And the world’s top three players, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele, are playing from behind thanks to the 16th hole. They all made double bogey on the 535-yard, par-4 hole with Scheffler and Schauffele finding the water on their approach shots from the middle of the fairway while dealing with some mud on their golf balls, and McIlroy making a mess of the hole — literally — when he slipped in the wet conditions trying to hit from the deep rough from a sidehill lie. All three walked off the green separately, dejected and eager to hit the reset button. Scheffler (even) is tied for 23rd and Mcilroy (2 over) and Schauffele (2 over) are tied for 47.
