We’ve not heard much from Rory McIlroy of late. That’s because he’s been pootling along quietly since that bogey-birdie start. He teases a huge 60-foot left-to-right swinger on 15 to tap-in distance, and remains at level par. Meanwhile Cam Smith limits the damage on 18 to bogey, a staunch effort given that duck hook.
Cameron Smith drops on dusty ground between a generator and a skip. Throw in his mullet and fluffy moustache, and it’s quite the mise-en-scène of blue-collar heartland chic. As close as major championship golf gets to a John Cougar Mellencamp video. One for the kids there. Anyway, he chips back into the centre of the fairway, taking his medicine. But he’ll have to get up and down from 181 yards if he’s to scramble a par and avoid dropping two shots in as many holes.
Stephan Jaeger bounces back from his first dropped shot of the day with birdie at the par-five 9th. The German hits the turn in 31 strokes, regaining sole leadership of the tournament in doing so. Meanwhile a birdie for Alex Fitzpatrick, who tickles a downhill 20-footer into the cup on 13, and the in-form Sheffield star is back near the top of the standings again.

In other Fiasco News, Cam Smith sends a snap-hook dangerously close to the OB markers down the left of 18. He’s ended up behind a grandstand and a couple of buildings. He’s so far off piste he might get a favourable drop, with all sorts of man-made, tournament-specific obstacles in his way. Skips, cables, outhouses, goodness knows what else. Godspeed to the match referee as he wanders over to make his ruling.
Garrick Higgo’s best finish at the PGA came last year at Quail Hollow: a tie for 55th. Not the highest bar to clear, but the 27-year-old South African has put himself behind the eight-ball from the get-go this week, turning up late for his tee time by one minute. He was on the practice putting green at the time, an area deemed not close enough. That cost him a two-stroke penalty and so he opened with a double-bogey six. In the circumstances, he’s done extremely well to hit the turn in 35, level par, having birdied 3 and 9.
Cam Smith is the best part of 30 yards right of the 17th green. The pin’s on that side, too, so he’s not got much of a shot. He does exceptionally well to lash a vicious lob into the heart of the green, the best he could do, but it’s not enough to save his par. He can’t make the 16-foot putt coming back, and the bogey takes him out of the leading group and back to -2.
Xander Schauffele heads in the other direction, the result of dunking his tee shot at the par-three 14th into the bunker front left. And Cameron Smith is in a spot of bother on the 17th, carving his tee shot at the long par-three wide right. But for now …
-3: Jaeger (8), C Smith (7*), Cauley (7)
-2: Brennan (9), Greyserman (6), Schauffele (5*), Fox (5)
… and the leaders are now joined by Bud Cauley, who sends a 50-foot right-to-left swinger into the cup at 7 for his third birdie of the day. That was travelling. Had it not hit the hole, the 36-year-old journeyman from Florida might have been taking another couple of putts to get down. But here we are. He’s -3.
Cameron Smith has been tucked away, out of sight, mind and form on the LIV tour, for a while now. Missing the cut for six majors straight hasn’t helped matters. But he looks to have finally rediscovered the mojo that took him to the 2022 Open. He’s just added to those birdies at 10 and 13 by walking in a long putt across the par-five 16th, and he joins Stephan Jaeger and Xander Schauffele at -3.
One of the great up-and-downs from the career-slam-chasing Jordan Spieth on 13. Having sent his tee shot into deep nonsense down the left, he’s unable to reach the green, effing and jeffing as his second shot squirts almost straight right. Shortsided and behind a bunker, he whips over the flag to 15 feet, then rolls in the par saver. Scrambling is going to come at a premium this week, and there’s nobody better than the master escapologist Spieth. He’s level par.
A third birdie in four holes for Xander Schauffele. The 2024 champion now has a share of the lead, because it’s a first bogey of the day for Stephan Jaeger, at the long par-three 8th, all 245 yards of it.
-3: Jaeger (8), Schauffele (4*)
-2: Brennan (8), C Smith (6*), English (6), Cauley (6)
Rory McIlroy crashes a 352-yard drive down the middle of 12. By the looks of the graphic flashed up on the screen, that’s at least 30 yards further on than anyone else so far today. But his wedge is underhit, toppling back down a ridge running across the huge green, and his first putt isn’t all that either. In the end, after all that, he does well to tidy up for par. He remains level. Aronimink’s swales and large undulating greens are posing the world’s best players all sorts of puzzles and problems, and it’s captivating stuff. Whoever wins this week will have a short game to die for, their ball on the end of a tight leash.
Bryson DeChambeau’s travails continue apace. Having found the thick stuff with his iron off the 13th tee, he flies the green with his second, and is forced to hack out from more nonsense over the back. He can only bundle his ball to within 20 feet, and there goes another stroke. A very average start from the two-time major winner and prospective YouTube magnate: he’s +2. So much for playing it safe. Bomb and gouge, Bryson, bomb and gouge. However his playing partner Ludvig Åberg makes a fine birdie, taking advantage of a lucky break when his errant drive settled on rough trampled down by the gallery. A wedge to 12 feet and a putt later, and he’s back to level par.
These lads are spraying it around everywhere. Jon Rahm into the gallery down the left of 12. Ludvig Åberg into the trees down the right of 13. Bryson DeChambeau takes an iron for safety on 13 … and sends it into the thick rough down the right! That is absurd. You know what, this PGA is going to be a lot of fun.
Bounceback birdie for Rory McIlroy! He plays the 11th in fuss-free fashion: tee shot down the middle, wedge to three feet, putt into the centre of the cup. That’s wiped out his opening bogey, which was his first at the PGA Championship for five years. And up on 12, there’s some escapology from Ludvig Åberg, who sends his second over the back and into thick rough, down the bottom of a bank. He’s shortsided too, with the flag nearby, very little green to play with. But he whips out, ball sailing high but landing soft, rolling out to kick-in distance. That’s an outrageous par, and his wide smile tells the story. He knows that was damn good. But he’s +1 after a three-putt for bogey at 10.
Stephan Jaeger keeps on keeping on! He pours in a 25-footer on 6 to double his advantage at the top of the leaderboard.
-4: Jaeger (6)
-2: Hall (8), Brennan (6), C Smith (4*), Schauffele (2*)
No such problems – yet – for Stephan Jaeger. The 36-year-old German has made the cut on each of his previous PGA Championship appearances, though a tie for 50th is the best finish he’s managed. But he’s going very nicely this morning. Birdies at 1, 4 and 5, and he’s the first man to reach the -3 mark. Meanwhile the 2022 Open champion Cameron Smith birdies 10 and 13, while Xander Schauffele, who won this title in 2024, opens with back-to-back birdies at 10 and 11.
-3: Jaeger (5)
-2: Hall (8), Brennan (6), C Smith (4*), Schauffele (2*)
Bryson’s touch is all over the shop. He overcooks his downhill 30-foot putt from the fringe at the back of 11 … and the ball catches the slope of the green, rolling 60 feet past! So nearly off back down the fairway! That leads to an inevitable bogey. Also dropping a shot: Jon Rahm on 1. His approach disappears down a swale to the right of the green, and he can’t get his ball back up with his first chip. Rory also bogeys, the result of that errant drive and skulled wedge, and for a course supposedly there for the taking, Aronimink sure is baring its teeth.
It Can Happen To The Best Of Them dept. Rory McIlroy’s ball, having hit a tree down the right of 1, comes straight down and disappears into thick rough. He lashes at it with great force, but the ball only squirts out of the cabbage, a topper that dribbles 100 yards down the fairway. We’ve all done it, Rory on fewer occasions than most. But here he is. So much for his pre-tournament claim that “strategy off the tee is pretty non-existent”, huh. And there’s no blaming a blister on his pinky toe for that one.
It’s safe to say Bryson doesn’t have his distances dialled in yet. Having come up short with his approach into 10, he overhits his wedge into 11. Then asks his caddie: “Was that short?” Once he works out where he is, he should salvage his par with a couple of putts from the fringe at the back, but it’s an uncertain start for the two-time US Open champion.
Here comes Rory! And immediately the back-to-back Masters champion tries his best to prove the drive-it-anywhere predictions a lie, carving his opening salvo at 10 hysterically towards a tree down the right. Clack clock! His ball pings back towards the fairway but disappears into thick rough. He’s going round today with Jon Rahm and Jordan Spieth, the latter chasing a career slam of his own.
Bryson DeChambeau wastes his fine opening drive. A very average wedge into the 10th, then a severely underhit first putt, and he does well to tidy up from five feet for par. No such luck for his playing partner Ludvig Åberg, who three-putts his way to an opening bogey.
Michael Brennan is making his PGA Championship debut this week. The 24-year-old from Virginia tied for 24th at the Masters last month, and won his first title on Tour in Utah last October, and now he’s joint leader here, albeit with the usual fairly major early-Thursday caveats. He’s up there at -2 with Harry Hall, who finished in the top 20 last year at Quail Hollow. A neat start for the 28-year-old from Cornwall, with birdies at 5 and 6.
-2: Hall (6), Brennan (5)
-1: A Fitzpatrick (7), McCarthy (6*), N Hojgaard (6), McKibbin (3), Jaegar (3), C Smith (3*), Harman (3*), Cauley (2), Greyserman (1)
The course’s main defences are the many bunkers potted around the property, and the huge greens, which will take some working out. But some overnight rain has lengthened the track a wee bit. It’s a bit drizzly this morning, too, and it’s expected to stay cloudy for most of the day, with a chance of more showers and a little wind. The forecast for the rest of the week looks better, though: sunny with light winds for the most part. Should be a fun week.
Aronimink could prove a playground for the big hitters, with accuracy off the tee not a deal-breaker. There’s plenty of scope to whistle drives hither and yon: Rory McIlroy has described “strategy off the tee” as “pretty non-existent”, while Scottie Scheffler says “you can hit it pretty far offline” and still “kind of get away with it”. Good news for the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, then, though to be fair he blasts his opening tee shot, at 10, down the middle of the fairway. Gary Woodland won his US Open in similar circumstances; the popular veteran, whose win at the Houston Open a couple of months back was one of the feelgood stories of the year so far, is level par through his first two holes, 10 and 11.
Here we go, then, and let’s begin with the aforementioned “on-song Matt Alex Fitzpatrick”. He only got his PGA Tour card last month, courtesy of winning the Zurich Classic with his older brother Matt. That gave him a two-year exemption Stateside, plus secured his invite to this tournament. Since then he’s made the top ten at the Cadillac Championship and threatened to win last week at the Truist. Now he’s become the first player this week to reach the -2 mark, opening with birdies at 1 and 2. Admittedly he went out in the very first group, and he’s since dropped a stroke at 5. But he did do that, and he’s currently one of several players under par. Early days and quite a bit of golf yet to play, of course.
-1: A Fitzpatrick (5), McCarthy (5*), Hall (5), Hoge (3*), Brennan (3), Glover (2), McKibbin (1), Jaeger (1), Smith (1*), Brown (1)
Preamble
Welcome to our coverage of the 108th PGA Championship. It’s only the second time the tournament has been held at Aronimink Golf Club, about 30 minutes west of Philly; the first time was in 1962, when Gary Player won the first of his two PGA Championships. The world number one Scottie Scheffler defends, the Masters champion Rory McIlroy goes for stage two of the calendar grand slam, the in-form Cameron Young looks to make it 11 wins in a row for the USA, and the equally on-song Matt Fitzpatrick attempts to become the first English winner since 1919 (!). Many other narratives are available, and will pan out over the next four days. So let’s waste no more time, because the early starters are already out there. It’s on!

Key events
In the opening half an hour against Cape Verde, Mikel Oyarzabal, the centre-forward, did not get a single touch.
Kyle Green gets in touch: “Your highlighting of Lalas and his absurdity is something that has prevented me from wanting to watch the coverage on Fox. While every channel has its pros and cons I just can’t.
“I’m 45 and probably the youngest of anyone who remembers him as a player instead of an opinionated insert insult here. As for the match this could be more competitive than it looks on paper Spain need a win the pressure is on them. Saudi Arabia could hold out for a draw and see what happens in their last match. “
News from the England camp, and it seems to be good news on Declan Rice.
“I’m ready and fit, raring to go. I was feeling a little bit of neural pain in my hamstring, which I was managing from after Christmas with Arsenal for a very long time. Obviously, not a lot of people would have known that. It was all behind-the-scenes stuff but it was a smart decision.
“In the end, that last 20 minutes is probably where you pick up the most, and it’s where you play a 70-minute match. But that last 20 is where you really feel your body going for it. And I think it was a smart decision because the last few days I felt really, really good.”
Alex Reid has penned today’s weekend special Football Daily.
Portugal v Uzbekistan on Tuesday enticingly pits the incredibly nice, incredibly 41-year-old-superstar-tolerant Roberto Martínez against Fabio Cannavaro, who’s won a Ballon d’Or as a player and the Chinese Super League as a coach. While the fixture following that game really does see the dream of Thomas Tuchel – in his first international job with England – taking on Queiroz, who is in charge of his ninth national side with Ghana.
The expected formations are 4-2-3-1 for Spain, and 5-3-2 for the Saudi Arabians.
The Saudi team features two Donis changes: Ali Lajami, a defender, and Nasser Al Dawsari, a midfielder, are preferred to Mohammed Abu Al Shamat and Mohamed Kanno. You may recall Salem Al Dawsari, the Saudi captain, as the man who scored the winner against Argentina.
An entertaining read, even for those of us who have just seen the clips.
In a conversation where his co-panelist is casually reminiscing about his days playing alongside Messi or exchanging shirts with Ronaldo Nazário at the World Cup, what exactly is Lalas going to talk about – coming on as a second-half substitute for Earnie Stewart in a friendly against Scotland in 1998? Helping the Kansas City Wizards finish last in the 1999 MLS Western Conference? Did Lalas enjoy an elite playing career? No. But does he do the background reading that could compensate for his relative lack of standing in a conversation with titans like Henry and Zlatan? Also no. But is he charming or funny or charismatic or otherwise magnetic on screen? Eh, no.
For the record, I once interviewed Alexi Lalas on the challenge of playing against Romario in the 1994 World Cup. He had this to say:
“He could kill you in so many different ways. If you remember from that World Cup, he scored so many types of goals. That ranged from solo adventures to an outside-of-the-right-foot half-volley off a corner kick. Romario was both the most difficult to play against and the best that I have faced.
“Roberto Baggio was doing his thing, but in terms of consistency and living up to the hype, he [Romario] was the best. As with all stars, there was a moment when the fans sit up in their seats, and that was a feeling I got with Romario. When it got close to him and the potential for his involvement in a play was there, everybody sat up in their seat. They knew that something spectacular would be happening.”
Saturday’s match reports here.
The Saudi Arabia coach, and Blackburn legend, Georgios Donis, spoke about the challenges facing his team: “Spain is not the same team when Yamal or Williams are on the bench.
“While they still have plenty of possession, they lack the individual one-on-one penetration when these two are missing. I’m not saying it’s a problem for Spain, but when those players are missing, they play in a different way. We saw this very clearly against Cape Verde.
“We are playing against one of the best teams in the world, and it’s very important that when you play against these kinds of teams, you should enjoy the experience and respect the opponent, but not too much.
“It is very hard for any team playing against Spain to have any time in possession. So what we must do is to be more in control of our movement and compact, and when the ball goes through the lines, be able to defend dynamically.
“It’s nice to see miracles in football, and we’ve seen favourites losing against underdogs. Of course, it’s great for Saudi football to have a great memory of the result against Argentina, but we aren’t drawing anything from that.
“I think we’ll feel more pressure in that [Cape Verde] game than we will against Spain.”
The Spain coach, Luis De La Fuente had this to say in his Saturday press conference: “This generation of footballers is highly competitive and really fired up… It’s going to be a completely different story,” he said at his pre-match press conference on Saturday. There is no drama or crisis. The bottom line is simply that we need to win tomorrow.”
Four changes for Spain: Lamine Yamal, Pedro Porro, Dani Olmo and Alex Baena also come into the side with Marcos Llorente, Fabian Ruiz, Ferran Torres and Gavi dropping out.
The teams – Lamine Yamal starts
Spain: Simon, Porro, Cubarsi, Laporte, Cucurella, Gonzalez, Rodri, Yamal, Olmo, Baena, Oyarzabal. Subs: Raya, Joan Garcia, Pubill, Grimaldo, Eric Garcia, Llorente, Merino, Torres, Fabian, Gavi, Pino, Williams, Zubimendi, Munoz, Iglesias.
Saudi Arabia: Al Owais, Abdulhamid, Tambakti, Lajami, Al Amri, Al Harbi, Nasser Al Dawsari, Al Khaibari, Al Juwayr, Al Buraikan, Salem Al Dawsari. Subs: Al Aqidi, Al Kassar, Majrashi, Yahya, Al Shehri, Al Boushal, Kadesh, Al Johani, Al Ghannam, Al Hajji, Al Hamdan, Mandash, Kanno, Thakri, Abu Al Shamat.
Referee: Raphael Claus (Brazil)
Perhaps one of the Saudi -players can write themselves into this high-grade selection?
Perhaps it can be their goalkeeper.
Madrid screening of Spain v Saudi Arabia cancelled due to heat
The public screening of Spain’s World Cup match against Saudi Arabia in Madrid on Sunday has been cancelled because of extreme heat forecast for the Spanish capital, officials said.
The match, due to kick off at 6pm local time on Sunday, had been scheduled to be shown on a giant screen installed by the Spanish football federation (RFEF) at a fan zone in Plaza de Colón in central Madrid.
Madrid city council and the federation decided to cancel the screening after national weather agency AEMET issued an orange heat warning – the second-highest level – for the Madrid region, with temperatures forecast to reach 40C.
“The decision has been taken with the aim of protecting the health of attendees, event staff and support services involved in the event,” Madrid city hall said in a statement, apologising for any inconvenience.
Officials urged supporters to watch the match indoors in air-conditioned spaces and avoid prolonged exposure to the heat.
Large parts of Spain are experiencing unusually high temperatures for June as a mass of hot air from North Africa moves across the Iberian Peninsula.
A total of 13 of Spain’s 17 regions are on orange alert for heat on Sunday, while the northern Basque Country bordering France is on red alert, the highest level.
Authorities advised residents and visitors to take precautions during the heatwave, including drinking water regularly, staying in cool environments, limiting outdoor physical activity during the hottest hours of the day and taking extra care of vulnerable people. AFP
Can Saudi Arabia repeat the magic of 2022?
Argentina arrived in Qatar on a 36-game unbeaten run. When Lionel Messi opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 10 minutes, a comfortable afternoon seemed in the offing. Saleh al-Shehri and Salem al-Dawsari had other ideas, Argentina had three goals disallowed for offside in the space of 13 minutes and the greatest comeback in Saudi Arabia football history was made. Argentina went on to lift the trophy, while defeats to Poland and Mexico meant the Saudis did not reach the knock-out stage.
Unai Simon over David Raya is a controversial choice for De la Fuentes. The Arsenal keeper could lay claim to being Europe’s best this season.
“Those at the Champions League final had a few more days, so I got there on the Wednesday night,” Raya says. “I arrived a bit before Fabián [Ruiz]. I was saying hello to some of the others in reception when he arrived. I went to say congratulations; that was almost the first thing I did. I couldn’t really talk [to him] after the final; I just didn’t have it in me. The next day we talked about the game properly. Just two mates chatting … I was happy for him that he could lift the trophy for a second time.”
A high pressure game for the European champions, as Sid Lowe reports.
“If we had scored one, the game would have changed,” Martín Zubimendi said. Immediately after the game, De la Fuente had offered a simple analysis: when the ball doesn’t want to go in it doesn’t want to go in, he insisted. Spain had racked up 27 shots, after all. Ferran Torres had hit the bar and seen another clear opportunity saved. Vozinha, the 40-year-old goalkeeper who stopped that, saved six more and was named the man of the match. “There’s nothing to reproach the team for,” Rodri said. “We generated chances but couldn’t put it away; the good thing is they created almost nothing.”
We wait to see what role Lamine Yamal will play today. His coach would surely like to be able to use him.
The worst mistake we could make would be to compare him to anyone. He is the midst of a process. He has exceptional footballing maturity and lives it all with total naturalness. He has great serenity and strength. We have to let him follow his path but those players who have something different are ready for that. They’re geniuses, like Dalí [who] can paint a picture, or Michelangelo. They’re different. What is exceptional to us, isn’t to them. In those extremes, they feel comfortable. Why? Because they are different. What we think is exceptional, they consider normal.
Preamble
Spain’s campaign did not get off to a flying start, and Luis de la Fuentes may wake up in the night to visions of Cape Verde’s Vozinha. He will have Georgia on his mind ever since Monday. Saudi Arabia are no pushovers and gave Uruguay a scare in their opening match. Memories of downing Argentina four years ago still abound, and so Spain might beware. They can ill afford to go into the final game with Uruguay at a disadvantage. All eyes on Lamine Yamal, whose fitness situation remains opaque, though Spain need their other forwards to come to the party.
Kick-off 5pm UK, 1pm ET, 2am AEST. Join me.
