Triple double: Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele all double the 16th at Quail Hollow

Make it a double for everyone!

The world’s top 3 players all made double bogey on the 535-yard, par-4 16th hole Thursday in Round 1 of the PGA Championship.

Rory McIlroy badly pulled his tee shot — having started on the 10th, he had hit only one fairway to this point — and then played his next three shots from various spots in the rough. His 12-footer to save bogey skirted past the hole.

Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele both hit the middle of the fairway. Going first from 212 yards, Scheffler hooked his approach, which took a hard bounce into the water left of the green.
