WM Phoenix Open: Round 1 under way after the start was delayed by frost Thursday at TPC Scottsdale.

That puts finishing the first two rounds on time in jeopardy, and means the cut might not happen until Saturday morning. With the weather forecast, other high-profile events in town and other factors creating record demand, The Thunderbirds feel the best way to preserve the excitement level at the WM Phoenix Open was to cap attendance on our highest traffic days. Scheduled to begin at 7:15 a.m., round one was delayed twice, first for 90 minutes, and then another 15 was tacked on. Mark Wilson beat Jason Dufner on the second playoff hole. It’s the first time the tournament at TPC Scottsdale has capped ticket sales for the two busiest days of tournament week. “Maintaining exceptional fan-experience quality is at the forefront of our decision making.

You've been watching TPC Scottsdale on TV for years, including the famous 16th hole. Gary Van Sickle suggests playing it while the tournament infrastructure ...

Six years after his brain swelled from viral encephalitis, Brett White is making his PGA Tour debut at the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale.

With a long layoff until his next tournament, he determined he might as well go play all the Monday Qs. The former Eastern Michigan golfer is crashing with college friends that live nearby and his wife and dad are flying in as well as a couple of high school buddies. “My brain swelled because I couldn’t fight off Mononucleosis for some reason,” he said. But nine months later, he competed in a tournament. He previously made one Tour start at the 3M Open. It’s something he’s dreamed of ever since he took up the game at age 8.

Rory McIlroy hit only four of 14 fairways en route to shooting his first over-par opening round since the Masters.

So I got over it, I was like, 'OK, I needed to take it a little bit more on the inside than I usually would and sort of just toe it in a little bit,'” he said. On one such occasion, McIlroy’s tee shot at the par-4 second, his 11th hole, went well right and nearly out of bounds. “I felt like I hit it OK. 1, McIlroy has won each of his last two PGA Tour starts, dating back to the season-ending Tour Championship and October’s CJ Cup. McIlroy, who began his day on the par-4 10th, made four bogeys and two birdies for a 2-over 73 – his first opening round over par since the Masters. “But it's a challenge, and again, I'm trying to embrace that challenge.”

Current world number one McIlroy shot a two-over 73 — seven shots behind joint leaders Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin — while Offaly man Lowry is even further down ...

The Phoenix Open was made one of the PGA’s select tournaments with an elevated purse and commitments from most top players to appear, moves made to help keep players from bolting to the richer events of the Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf League. Canadadian duo Taylor and Hadwin opened with 66s, while Xander Schauffele is a shot further back. Current world number one McIlroy shot a two-over 73 — seven shots behind joint leaders Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin — while Offaly man Lowry is even further down the leaderboard after his 75.

Encouraging more hydration and furthering the tournament's no-waste mission, Peter Millar is teaming up with recycled fabric makers Repreve to create ...

“[We] are so excited to be helping make the largest zero-waste sporting event in the world, the WM Phoenix Open, even more sustainable with this partnership collection with Peter Millar,” Jay Hertwig, Senior Vice President of Commercialization at UNIFI, the parent company of Repreve, said. Recycled plastic water bottles from the event will be collected by Repreve and transformed into new, sustainable looks designed by Peter Millar for next year’s tournament. This year, Peter Millar is teaming up with Repreve, a brand that uses recycled materials to make new fabrics, to put the empties to good use—and perhaps encourage some more water consumption between drinks.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Rory McIlroy didn't mince words at his pre-tournament press conference at the WM Phoenix Open earlier this week.

This week’s field features 18 of the top 20 players in the world, the first time a non-major, non-PLAYERS Championship, non-FedExCup Playoffs event, and non-WGC has had that many since the 2007 Wells Fargo Championship. “I actually felt the best swing I made of the day was the par-3, 7th,” he continued, “and hit it 20 yards over the green. “I struggle off the tee here. Hopefully the wind keeps up this afternoon for the guys out there, and we'll get back at it tomorrow.” And yet the golf ball does not care about all of that; with every shot, every round, a player must prove himself anew. They were all chasing early leaders Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin (66), both of Canada.

Rory McIlroy was the top draw at TPC Scottsdale with huge galleries following him around during the first round of the 2023 WM Phoenix Open.

A veteran of the desert landscape. Of course, the main one, as McIlroy laughed later, is that “I get a chance to win $3.6 million.” But having to play at an uncomfortable course now — two months before the Masters gets major season underway — has value, too. But the proof lay in the marauding flow of the masses. A group later, Schauffele offered the opposite experience to McIlroy’s. So here he is, ushering in a new era of the Phoenix Open. Obviously I don’t watch it as much as some people do, but I’d like to see the top players hash it out every week.” The two friends had flown in from Nebraska and Texas in search of warm weather and a good time. From the top of a hill to its left, the 16th grandstand is visible above the horizon, but only barely. The fans come for McIlroy and they’ll always come for McIlroy. McIlroy, and only McIlroy, has been the constant. Last fall, the PGA Tour selected the tournament as one of its designated events. The presence of Matsuyama, the 2016 and 2017 Phoenix Open winner, drew only passing interest, too.

Rory McIlroy pulled off one of the most incredible escape shots you will ever see during round one of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Remarkably, despite being so out of position, the Northern Irishman managed to stitch the green, much to the delight of the fans in attendance. After an errant strike, the Holywood man found himself stuck in the trees just off the cart path. Rory McIlroy pulled off one of the most incredible escape shots you will ever see during round one of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

A veteran of the desert landscape. But the proof lay in the marauding flow of the masses. From the top of a hill to its left, the 16th grandstand is visible above the horizon, but only barely. So here McIlroy is, ushering in a new era of the Phoenix Open. Of course, the main one, as McIlroy laughed later, is that “I get a chance to win $3.6 million.” But having to play at an uncomfortable course now — two months before the Masters gets majors season underway — has value, too. A group later, Schauffele offered the opposite experience to McIlroy’s. The fans come for McIlroy and they’ll always come for McIlroy. The two friends had flown in from Nebraska and Texas in search of warm weather and a good time. McIlroy chose to skip the Sentry this year. This year, though, McIlroy had little choice but to play the Open. When Rory McIlroy stood to address his ball, the iPhone cameras shot up, each claiming a few inches of hard-fought real estate. The presence of Matsuyama, the 2016 and 2017 Phoenix Open winner, drew only passing interest, too.

What happens when you put one of the biggest events in sport in the same city and on the same week as the highest-attended tournament in golf?

"I'd like to see a game-winning drive there in the fourth quarter. "I don't have any skin in the game," Schauffele said. "I was talking to somebody that had been here the last time the Super Bowl was here, and Sunday was very mellow compared to usual." Last year's half-time show was headlined by Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J Blige, and Kendrick Lamar, along with a surprise guest appearance by 50 Cent. "It's amazing," McIlroy said about the prospect of a sporting double-header. "I'm not confident enough making a prediction.

From 16th hole observations to a brief conversation with Rory McIlroy, get caught up on the action at TPC Scottsdale.

I was standing on the right side of the tee box on No. I’ve gotten to know a handful of pros over the last few years, but this was my first interaction with McIlroy. Also, I know that the “quiet!” signs are necessary at most Tour events, but I got a kick out of this scene on No. To know me is to know that I love the media center at PGA Tour events. And this was only in the hour or two that I was there! I know, I know — that’s about as original as saying I like wearing Air Force 1s and a jean jacket to the bar. The playlist was great. The place was absolutely bumping. Not only was the stadium packed, but so was the inside the ropes area. At the Genesis Invitational, we work from the clubhouse. With the golf during the day and golf events at night, there is a LOT going on. My sister Ellen — who has been known to cry at the site of a golf course — is willingly coming to TPC Scottsdale tomorrow with our little brother, Brendan.

Xander Schauffele sits one back at 4 under as he continues to thrive in the desert setting. Holding the low scoring average at TPC Scottsdale among those who ...

Tony Finau, Kevin Kisner and Sungjae Im all had realistic looks to jar an ace, but unfortunately, the fans at the stadium hole will have to wait another day for a possibility of a hole-in-one. At 11-1, this could be the last chance to get the world No. Scheffler has gone relatively under the radar this week with Rahm and McIlroy in the field. "It was tricky," Schauffele said of the windy conditions. It was a front left pin and it was blowing 30 left to right, so they moved that to the right. Schauffele probably should have a pair of WM Phoenix Open trophies on his mantle as he surrendered late leads each of the last two years. It's a great group to be a part of, and we share a lot of laughs together." A player to regularly pop up in the desert, Hadwin has shown the propensity to go low as showcased by his 59 six years ago at La Quinta Country Club in Palm Springs, California. It's a great group to be a part of. With the entire afternoon wave still needing to complete their first rounds after play was suspended, it is Canadians Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin swho finished the day at the top of the leaderboard at 5 under. Keegan Bradley, Max Homa, and Jon Rahm were among many able to take advantage of the friendlier winds and will attempt to keep the momentum rolling as they head into Friday morning in red figures. Holding the low scoring average at TPC Scottsdale among those who have played 20 rounds, Schauffele is primed to rectify his mistakes of years past.

She’s got the attention of all the best golfers in the world. “She continues to impress, and she holds the bar pretty high for us Canadians,” Hadwin said. Throughout the year and across the world, the LPGA Tour’s resident Canadian always attracts an entourage of red and white.

[Collin Morikawa](http://www.espn.com/golf/player/_/id/10592/collin-morikawa) also shooting 73 and two-time Phoenix Open winner [Hideki Matsuyama](https://www.espn.com/golf/player/_/id/5860/hideki-matsuyama) following at 74. The former Arizona State star from Spain opened the year with consecutive victories in the Sentry Tournament of Champions and the American Express. "It's definitely the tougher of the winds, especially coming down the stretch. "You couldn't really chase birdies like we typically do out here." "Hopefully, the wind keeps up this afternoon for the guys out there, and we'll get back at it tomorrow." The frost delayed the start for 1 hour, 50 minutes, with the wind picking up from the northeast and gusting to 25 mph.

1 golfer found himself in a tough spot by the second hole. 1 struggles afterwards and finishes the first round two-over-par but the world No.

SportsLine expert Patrick McDonald analyzed the WM Phoenix Open 2023 field and made his top golf picks, best bets, props, sleepers and fades.

McDonald has locked in his best bets for the 2023 WM Phoenix Open and he has three longshots of more than 30-1, including one massive triple-digit underdog. And which golfer in the WM Phoenix Open 2023 field could bring a massive payday of around 100-1? McDonald says he doesn't measure up to the favorites in this field, and while his short game has kept him competitive, he is rarely in real contention. So which 2023 WM Phoenix Open players should you target or avoid? His last outing on the DP World Tour was a victory at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on Jan. The 33-year-old's only appearance on the PGA Tour this season was a victory at the CJ Cup. McIlroy enters this week's event as the 8-1 favorite according to the latest 2023 WM Phoenix Open odds. The expert finished the 2021-22 season up 42 units on his outrights, including a monster 250-1 payout on Hudson Swafford at The American Express. One stunning prediction from McDonald: He is fading Justin Thomas as the two-time major champion continues to find his footing. He nailed the Farmers Insurance Open, backing Max Homa (25-1) as his top choice. Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas are among the experienced players looking to dethrone Scheffler and win the WM Phoenix Open 2023. He hit another 25-1 shot at the Houston Open, taking Tony Finau to win.

It was an awesome effort from Taylor to come home with a 6-under 30 on the back nine to take the clubhouse lead. He has the par-5 15th and the drivable 17th to come in the morning. The 12-time TOUR winner was ranked third in Strokes Gained: Putting when play was halted, needing just 12 putts in 10 holes. Having gone very close to winning here twice Schauffele battled his way through the winds to post a tidy 67 and set up another run at it. Do we believe he is the man to beat? “When you've got that 90-degree wind the whole time, if it changes just slightly one way or another, it's a completely different shot, completely different club, and I got caught out by that a couple of times coming in, which wasn't ideal.

Canadian duo Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin top the leaderboard after a weather-affected opening day at the WM Phoenix Open, as world No 1 Rory McIlroy ...

"Canadian golf has been in a great place for a while now, (with) Corey (Conners) and Mackenzie (Hughes) kind of leading the way," Hadwin said. To make birdies on 16 and 17 to cap it off was nice." "I wanted to keep it going because I knew I was swinging nice and hit a bunch of greens.

A pair of Canadians overcame an early weather delay to card five-under-par 66s and grab a one-shot lead at the PGA Tours WM Phoenix Open.

Of the chasing trio, only Schauffele managed to complete his round of 66. "All those holes are playing a lot longer than typical," he said. "We did it a lot, but we probably prefer the heat now because we've moved south.

Asked ahead of the tournament if he feels like he is the best player in the world, McIlroy was succinct. I’ve worked really hard on that, to try to become a more well-rounded player.” I feel like consistency-wise, I’ve been as good as I have been ever in my career. But as he has shown time and time again, McIlroy is not most golfers. With seemingly minimal room to swing, most golfers would have likely just settled for getting back on the fairway. Pushed to expand, McIlroy continued: “Because I do.
