Oh dear, it goes from bad to worse for Scottie Scheffler as he follows his opening bogey by pulling his tee shot wildly to the left and it sails into the trees.

Trouble here for the leader.

Hello! Scottie Scheffler misses his par putt on the first so the leader kicks off with a bogey that already sees him drop back to 10 under.

However, the lead stays at three as Alex Noren also makes a five on the opener, and none of the chasing pack have managed to get beyond six under so still a decent cushion.

Not the start the world number one wanted though.

Viktor Hovland has had an eventful day, with three bogeys in his first six holes followed by two birdies and an eagle in his next four!

He's had a few boring pars now and just spanked his tee shot on 14 just short of the green, so a big chance of picking up another shot.

Jon Rahm and Kim Si-woo are both putting from the back of the second green.

However, the crucial difference is the Spaniard rolls a birdie attempt close, while his playing partner is unable to save par after finding the cart path down the left off the tee.

Bit loose from Scottie Scheffler from the fairway as he misses the green to the left and finds the bunker. The escape is nice enough but he's left himself 'one of those' for an opening par.

A few early American movers have bounced into the top 10 so far on the final day.

Harris English is on a heater and has just gone through 16 at five under for his round and duly five under for the tournament.

Six shots back but that'll be worth a fair amount of dough.

Compatriot Ben Griffin has picked up three shots as well through his opening six holes to English at -5.

Davis Riley and JT Poston immediately increase the gap between themselves and leader Scottie Scheffler - punished for short approach shots with bogeys at the par-four first.

Those of you wondering where Scottie Scheffler can be attacked this evening may not be too encouraged by the above stats.

He is in the top six for strokes gained in almost all metrics - except however for putting, where he is only 30th.

Interestingly, the group bunched behind him have been better with the flatstick - Alex Noren (seventh), JT Poston (first), Kim Si-woo (second), Bryson DeChambeau (10th).

Sink a few early putts and maybe, perhaps, the world number one can be reeled in.

Scottie Scheffler's first major triumph at the Masters in 2022 has proved to be the start of a simply fabulous run at golf's biggest events for the world number one.

And there's every chance these numbers will improve in a few hours' time...

Here comes the leader and world number one Scottie Scheffler to the first tee - and he fires a lowish bullet that just about cuts the corner down the right hand side then gets a decent bit of run down the hill on the first fairway. Textbook.

Alex Noren follows him and also hits the short stuff.

In a series on his social media channels late last year, Bryson DeChambeau spent several days trying to make a hole-in-one over his house.

All of that practice comes in handy as he lofts his approach from the rough on the par-four third over a tree and onto the green, within 20 feet of the hole.

Another par for the two-time US Open winner.

Kim Si-woo finds the right front bunker with his approach into the first and it proves costly for the South Korean.

He can only splash out to 10 feet and can't save his par unlike Jon Rahm, who gets up and down from the left edge.

A poor bogey-bogey start for USA Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, after finding the greenside bunker on the first then missing a seven-foot par putt on the second.

He's never going to make his own team if this continues...

Scottie Scheffler heads to the first tee with the Quail Hollow crowd roaring his name.

Rory McIlroy heads to the car park without speaking to any member of the press for the fourth day in a row.

What a difference a month makes in the world of professional golf.

Matt Fitzpatrick is back where he started. All in four holes.

Two bogeys, followed up by two birdies. The Englishman's putter is running hot at present, as he drains a tricky left-to-right effort from 17 feet for a two on the par-three fourth, which at 192 is playing longer than it has all week.

He is now in a tie for seventh.

Matt Fitzpatrick opened up bogey, bogey but now sinks a 27-feet putt to birdie the third.

The Englishman needs to jump aboard the birdie train if he's to get himself into the top 10 here.

Matthieu Pavon recovers from a double on the second, where he found the rough three times. Tough start for both.

Alex Noren playing in the final group is remarkable given it's just his second tournament back from a serious hamstring injury that kept him out from October last year until last week.

"Everybody thought it was two injuries. It was just my tendon in my hamstring on the sit bone," explained Noren.

"It's a bad injury but you can still live a quite normal life because you have two other tendons that it. But I couldn't swing a club. I couldn't jump or run. I could walk kind of slowly and live a normal life.

"Bad part of it is that it takes a long time to heal, and it was 90 percent torn. So I had that 10 percent left to make it heal back so I didn't have to have surgery.

"If it was actually torn, I would not play right now. That was lucky but also bad at the same time. Spent a lot of time with the family. It's been quite nice."

Scottie Scheffler's winning form has been prolific, so much so that if he captures what would be his 15th career PGA Tour title today, then it would be the quickest between a first and 15th win on record.

Time Between first and 15th PGA Tour win since 1950

• Tiger Woods (1996 to 1999), 3 years, 32 days
• Jack Nicklaus (1962 to 1965), 3 years, 45 days
• Scottie Scheffler (2022 to 2025 with a win today), 3 years, 94 days
