Triple double: Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele all double the 16th at Quail Hollow

Make it a double for everyone!

The world’s top 3 players all made double bogey on the 535-yard, par-4 16th hole Thursday in Round 1 of the PGA Championship.

Rory McIlroy badly pulled his tee shot — having started on the 10th, he had hit only one fairway to this point — and then played his next three shots from various spots in the rough. His 12-footer to save bogey skirted past the hole.

Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele both hit the middle of the fairway, which presented some mud problems with the intense rain Quail Hollow experienced leading into the event. Going first from 212 yards, Scheffler hooked his approach, which took a hard bounce into the water left of the green. Schauffele then hit a near identical shot from 209 yards.

Short-sided, both men had to play their fourth shots (following the penalty strokes) well past the hole and both left their lag putts uncomfortably short.

Scheffler, who was coming off eagle at the par-5 15th, made his 7-footer for double to drop to even par. Schauffele made his 5-footer for the same score to drop to 2 over.

Scheffler and Schauffele managed a bit of a comeback as the former birdied two of his final three holes for a 2-under 69. The defending champion had one birdie and no bogeys over his final 11 holes for a 72.

McIlroy made two bogeys and no birdies over the remainder of his round for a 74.
