Scottie Scheffler opens Colonial with an eagle and trails tour rookie John Pak by 5 shots
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Scottie Scheffler and John Pak enjoyed the same start to the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial with eagles on their respective first holes. The world No. 1 couldn't keep up with the PGA Tour rookie from there. Four days after winning his third major at the PGA Championship, Scheffler opened his attempt at three consecutive victories with a 2-under 68 Thursday. Pak shot 63 for a three-shot lead over nine players, J.J. Spaun the highest-ranked among them at 27th. Tommy Fleetwood and 2023 British Open champion Brian Harman were among a group of nine players four back of Pak, and Scheffler headlined the 15 players who were five strokes behind. Defending champion Davis Riley, who is playing the first two rounds with Scheffler, had two double bogeys on the front nine and shot 3-over 73 on the cozy course made famous by Ben Hogan, the only player to win Colonial in consecutive years (1946-47 and 1952-53). Riley is coming off a runner-up finish to Scheffler at the PGA. The others at 4 under with Spaun were Patrick Rodgers, Ryo Hisatsune, Matti Schmid, Beau Hossler, Bud Cauley, J.T. Poston and Ben Griffin. Jordan Spieth, Scheffler's fellow hometown favorite and former Texas Longhorn, shot 69 with birdies on two of his final four holes. Scheffler opened the second of what he considers his hometown events by holing a putt for eagle from off the green on the par-5 first hole and a 23-footer for birdie on No. 2. The Dallas resident played the final 16 holes in 1 over, missing enough fairways and greens to prevent a run at Pak, who finished several hours earlier. The first of Scheffler's consecutive wins came three weeks ago at his hometown CJ Cup Byron Nelson, which he led wire-to-wire for an eight-shot victory while tying the tour scoring record of 253. Scheffler will have to come from behind this time, just as he did in the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, where he faced the same first-round deficit before surging into the lead in the third round and repelling a Sunday charge from Jon Rahm. Scheffler skipped some of his prep work in the interest of rest and recovery, then showed up on the eve of Colonial at Game 1 of the NHL's Western Conference final. The Dallas Stars beat Edmonton 6-3 with a big third-period rally. 'It was fun going to the hockey game last night,' said Scheffler, who will have an early tee time Friday. 'I was able to still get home and get a decent amount of rest. Waking up the time I'm going to be waking up tomorrow, I'm going to need a little bit of extra rest. Just get home and get ready for tomorrow.' Scheffler hit just five fairways on a warm and windy afternoon, and even found trouble with one of those when he delicately tried to shoo a bug off his ball at the par-4 15th after caddie Ted Scott's towel-waving attempt to create enough breeze didn't work. Scheffler's approach landed 30 feet away, and he two-putted for par. 'On a day where I didn't hit a lot of fairways on a golf course where you have to hit a lot of fairways, I posted a decent score,' Scheffler said. 'Anything under par around here in these conditions isn't a bad score. Obviously, I wish it was a little bit lower, but overall I feel decent about the position I'm in.' Starting on the par-4 10th, Pak holed a 147-yard approach. He added five birdies in a bogey-free round. The 26-year-old Korn Ferry Tour graduate, and one-time winner on the PGA Tour Canada, is the fifth rookie to hold a first-round lead in an individual event this year. The New Jersey-raised Pak found all the motivation he needed when his New York Knicks blew a 14-point lead in the final three minutes of a 138-135 loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the NBA's Eastern Conference finals. 'I'm a die-hard Knicks fan, and that was historically one of the worst losses I've ever seen in my life,' said Pak, who has one top-25 finish among seven made cuts in 12 events this year. 'There was a fire lit under me, yeah, this morning. I was a little (mad) about that.' Joel Dahmen made a hole-in-one on the 186-yard 13th when his tee shot stopped about 25 feet behind the hole, spun back and went in. The 37-year-old's first career ace was followed by seven bogeys as he shot 74. 'Nine years out here, that's a lot of par-3 attempts,' Dahmen said. 'A lot have looked good, and to finally go in was pretty cool.' ___ AP golf:

Scottie Scheffler goes for 3 in a row by jumping right back in at Colonial after PGA win
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Scottie Scheffler is skipping some of his usual prep work for the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial after winning the PGA Championship last weekend. The world No. 1 doesn't want an emphasis on rest and recovery to be misunderstood. 'I didn't just show up here to Fort Worth to just walk around and celebrate last week,' Scheffler said Wednesday. 'I'm here for a reason, and that's not to just play a couple of ceremonious rounds and then ride off in the sunset. I'm here for a reason. That's to compete.' Scheffler's third major also set him up to be the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win three consecutive PGA Tour starts. He won his hometown CJ Cup Byron Nelson north of Dallas two weeks before the PGA, then skipped the $20 million signature event at the Truist Championship before winning at Quail Hollow. Colonial isn't quite on the level of the Nelson for Scheffler, who attended that event for years as a kid and made his pro debut there 11 years ago. Still, Colonial is in Texas, and not far from family and friends in Dallas. 'I think any time I can sleep in my own bed and play a golf tournament, it's a nice thing,' said Scheffler, who has finished in the top three with a pair of runner-ups the past three years at Colonial. 'I love the golf course here. I think it's a great test. That's also one of the big reasons I try to come to this event each year is just for the golf course.' Davis Riley is the defending Colonial champion and coming off his best finish at a major, tied for second behind Scheffler at the PGA. His first tour victory came in the debut of a renovation of the 7,289-yard, par-70 Colonial course made famous by Ben Hogan, the only back-to-back winner in Fort Worth (he did it in 1946-47 and 1952-53). 'It was really firm because it was brand new,' Riley, who is the same age as Scheffler at 28, said of last year's conditions. 'It softened up. I think the fairways are ... maybe a little bit softer, more grown in. I would say the rough is a little bit up, but I think the greens, the quickness and the firmness will be very similar as to what we saw last year.' Jordan Spieth is the other hometown favorite alongside Scheffler. And while his fellow Texas alum beat him to the first victory at the Nelson, Spieth is the one with his name on the wall of champions along the No. 1 tee box at Colonial. He won in 2016. Spieth missed the cut at the PGA in pursuit of the career grand slam. He finished 19 under at the Nelson, 12 shots behind Scheffler, who won by eight while tying the PGA Tour scoring record of 253. This is the fourth time Scheffler has had a chance to win three consecutive starts, all since 2022. Another significant feat in that span is joining Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only players with 15 victories before turning 29. Johnson's three-peat in 2017 included the Genesis Invitational, WGC-Mexico Championship and WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. Now that he's back in his football-mad home state, Scheffler was asked if his rare show of raw emotion in slamming his cap on the green after winning the PGA was his version of a football spike. 'When I played football, I didn't score very many touchdowns, so I wasn't too experienced in that,' Scheffler said. 'I don't really have much to say on that. I think I just kind of let my emotions out a little bit, and I guess that's where my brain decided it wanted to go at the time. I really have absolutely no explanation for it at all.' Only one player has celebrated on the 18th green of the Byron Nelson and Colonial in the same year: Hogan in 1946. ___ AP golf:

Davis Riley revs up to defend title at Colonial
May 21 - Davis Riley warmed up for this week's Charles Schwab Challenge title defense by tying for second at the PGA Championship last weekend. "Yeah, last week was really good," Riley told reporters Wednesday at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. "Stacked a couple of nice weeks the past month or two. Yeah, I feel like my game is trending. I don't know why. For some reason I love this part of the schedule the most." Riley, 28, collected his first PGA Tour individual title here last year, along with the traditional winner's plaid jacket and a restored 1975 Corvette Stingray. He finished 14 under, five strokes ahead of Scottie Scheffler and Keegan Bradley. Scheffler won the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow on Sunday, finishing five shots clear of Riley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau. Riley's previous best finish in a major was a tie for 13th at the 2022 PGA Championship. "Last week was a great confidence booster for me," Riley said. "Being in the second to last group Sunday, having a chance to win and compete and try to win a major and everything that comes with that, I was super proud of the way I handled it. "Yeah, it was a big confidence booster. Obviously to be the week before a place that I love so much makes me even that much more excited for this week." The emotional highs continued for Riley as he arrived at Colonial. "It's really cool to walk up and drive up and see your own parking spot there, past champion, see your face around a little bit more. It just brings me back to this time last year," he said. "Really cool memories. ... It's pretty surreal. I'm itching to get started this week." After a slow start to the season, withdrawing from The Sentry before four straight missed cuts, Riley got on track in March with a T6 at the Puerto Rico Open and a seventh-place showing at the Valspar Championship. In April he tied for 21st in his first appearance at The Masters. Riley, who has jumped to No. 53 in the world rankings, said he has enjoyed having the Stingray in his driveway since his breakthrough win last year. "That's one of the unique parts about this tournament," he said. "We get the car that comes with it. Yeah, it's been a great thing for me and my wife. We love taking it out, getting coffee, getting lunch. It's been a super fun thing to have." Up for grabs this year is a fully restored 1992 Schwab Defender. "To have both of them side-by-side would be pretty special," Riley said. "The Charles Schwab has that iconic baby blue, so it's really cool. Yeah, the Defender would be a really cool one to add to the collection." --Field Level Media
