Scheffler went from the hill right of the 10th fairway at Spyglass to a front bunker, blasted out some 20 feet and missed his par putt. That was his only bogey, though he was 1 over until lacing the fairway metal to 30 feet for two-putt birdie on the par-5 14th, just as McIlroy on the hole next to him plucked his ball from the cup.

Rory McIlroy hit just the second hole-in-one of his PGA Tour career on Thursday, a remarkable slam dunk ace on Hole 15 of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Spyglass Hill.

Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth will make their first starts in the 2025 PGA Tour season at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Until now, they have been out with different ailments: Scheffler will be trying to play through a hand injury he suffered during the holiday break, while Spieth will be making his first start after wrist surgery.
