Previous Matches

Before the fog rolled in and caused the delay at 7:23 a.m. ET, the action had already begun with two exciting Four-ball Matches. Notably, U.S. stars Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa were up against veteran Adam Scott and Taylor Pendrith, while Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele faced Canadian talents Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes.
