CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The top three golfers in the world combined to make a triple-double Thursday in the opening round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club, and it wasn't the good kind.
World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy and defending PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele, who were playing together, each made a double-bogey 6 on the par-4 16th hole, their seventh hole of the day after they started on the back nine.
"I kept the honor after making a double," Scheffler said. "Probably the first and last time that'll happen in my career, unless we get some crazy weather conditions.
