Scheffler opened with an even-par 72 at Pebble Beach, leaving him tied for 62nd place in the 80-man field. It marked the second week in a row he began poorly. At the WM Phoenix Open, Scheffler stood T-89 after an opening two-over 73 then rattled off rounds of 65-67-64 to tie for third.

Despite three eagles from Scottie Scheffler on Sunday alone, it was Collin Morikawa that came out on top at Pebble Beach.

Min Woo Lee and Sepp Straka also overtook Scheffler, with the latter also closing with an eagle on the 18th hole. Despite lifting the trophy, Morikawa is almost an afterthought because of how much attention was paid to Scheffler. Fans were left in awe, and the comparisons to peak Tiger Woods are more and more inescapable.

One of the hottest players in the world over the last two weeks could not be extinguished on Thursday at Pebble Beach Golf Links. Ryo Hisatsune continued to stoke the flame in his opening round of the 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, signing for a bogey-free, 10-under 62 to grab the early lead in the first signature event of the season.
