The WM Phoenix Open is underway, and the drama is already heating up! Scottie Scheffler, the world's number one golfer, is in danger of missing his first PGA Tour cut since 2022, while Matt Fitzpatrick is making a strong start. Fitzpatrick birdied seven of his first eight holes, shooting a stunning 29 on the front nine at TPC Scottsdale, and finished the day in second place with a score of six under par. However, Scheffler is struggling, with a two-over round and multiple dropped shots on the front and back nines. The American, who won the season-opening event in Hawaii last month, is in a strong position with a score of six under, while Scheffler needs a low score on Friday to avoid missing his first cut since the 2022 FedEx St Jude Championship. The European representation is strong, with Denmark's Nicolai Hojgaard and his brother Rasmus Hojgaard among the top players, and England's John Parry also making a strong start. The tournament is shaping up to be a thrilling contest, with the top players battling it out for the lead. Will Scheffler be able to turn things around and make the cut? Or will Fitzpatrick continue his strong performance and take the lead? Stay tuned to find out!
