Three weeks ago at the PGA Championship Nick Taylor was right in contention on a very tough Aronimink GC where the greens were flummoxing most of the field.
Nick Taylor wins Sony Open
However after a couple of errant drives, and missed putts on his final 8 holes led to a 40 he eventually finished T26.
This week Jack's Muirfield Village course, the greens are already very firm, and fast, that along with a swirling breeze has the field bunched with four sharing the lead with -5 67, Fleetwood, Clark, Spaun and Gerard.
Only 22 players broke par. "Small misses are leading to big punishments" is how Ryan Gerard summed round 1 up
Taylor can testify with a double bogey at the par 5 7th, then a bogey at 8.
However the good news is he also made 4 birdies on that front nine 35, then buckled down for a solid 3 birdie no bogey back nine 33 for -4 68 a shot off the lead in 5th place.
Justin Rose and Sam Burns are next at -3 69.

DP World Tour : KLM Open Leaderboard Tee Times
For those of you wondering why Canadian Aaron Cockerill has been missing from this week's KLM Open and last week in Austria, news arrived yesterday from his home in Winnipeg that his 2026 season is over, after a long standing injury to his left shoulder has required surgery.
"I've been playing with a torn labrum in my left shoulder for roughly 2 years and it had gotten to the point something had to be done about it. I had a successful operation on it at the Pan Am Clinic in Winnipeg and will be away from golf for a while.
This is the first significant injury of my career, but I am excited to spend some more time at home with the girls while I rehab my shoulder.
I look forward to coming back healthier and stronger next year"
He leaves the Tour owgr #513 and R2DR #151 turned pro 2015, 0 wins, Category 18 exemption.
This injury may in part explain his struggles over the last 12 months.
SEASON STORY
After his 2025 DP World Tour season when he lost his card finishing just outside the top 120, he was spectacular at Final Q school finishing T2 with his best week of the year to regain his card, however with Category 18 status as opposed to Category 10 for those who finished 2004 in the top 100.
He immediately started this season in Australia in in late November with MC at their PGA Championship, then a credible T23 at the Aussie Open T23 -5.
He was a 3rd round cut T78 at the Alfred Dunhill RSA, but MC in Mauritius and Qatar before T18th in Kenya, then T62 in China.
At the Hero Open in India in monsoon conditions her retired after an opening 81, then T45 at the Volvo, back in China, before another MC in Turkey.
In Spain at the Catalunya Championship he was in contention with 67 69 but his 75 76 weekend had him T64, before what was to be his last event, MC in Belgium Soudal Open.
He will play 2027 under a medical exemption, with his playing status maintained due to injury.

Back at this week's KLM Open, Calum Hill from Scotland and American Jordan Gumberg have the early clubhouse lead -3 68 before play was been suspended due to high winds and the threat of lightning passing through.
Play was finally suspended for the day due to high winds, will resume at 7.30 local tomorrow
Julien Guerrier carded a brilliant, battling -5 65 to open up a one-shot lead after a wild and windy opening day at the KLM Open.
The Frenchman battled wind and rain in the morning at The International and was -6 when play was stopped for the first time due to storms in the area.
Upon the resumption he made a brilliant up-and-down to save par on his final hole and set the target at -6 a target that would not come near to being caught as the wind got even stronger for the afternoon starters.
And it was wind that then brought an early conclusion to the day’s play, with all the early starters in the clubhouse and all the afternoon’s players having completed between two and ten holes.
England’s Joe Dean was a shot behind Guerrier at -5 with Swede Sebastian Söderberg then at -4
Scot Calum Hill was then three back 68 -3 alongside American Jordan Gumberg and Englishman Paul Waring, with the large group at -2 containing the best of the afternoon starters, who had battled treacherous conditions.
Guerrier won his maiden DP World Tour title at the 2024 Estrella Damm started the new campaign with two top threes in his first four starts as he missed just one of ten cuts.
“I played obviously really good,” he said. “The fairway was really important because from the rough you cannot control the ball and the greens are very slopey here, so it is tough from the beginning. I think in these conditions sometimes you need to be lucky.
“The toughest thing is to believe when you have 120 metres, for me I would have a seven iron, and normally I am 165, so 45 metres difference is huge and you try to believe and obviously you cannot control everything.”
Dean’s 66 was his ninth consecutive under-par round on Tour as he seeks a maiden win at an event where he finished second last season.
Söderberg had exactly the same scoring runs as Dean over the first eight holes before the wheels came off with four bogeys in a row from the ninth. He recovered admirably, however, birdieing the 16th and closing out his round with an eagle.
Gumberg, a winner in 2026 at the Hainan Classic, carded five birdies and two bogeys -3 to sit a shot ahead of home hero Joost Luiten, Frenchman Clement Charmasson, Finn Oliver Lndell, Portuguese Daniel Rodrigues, South African Richard Sterne, England’s Callum Tarren and Austrian Bernd Wiesberger all -2 69.

DP World Tour : KLM Open Leaderboard Tee Times
The European Swing continues as the DP World Tour hosts a national open for the third consecutive week in the Netherlands.
Connor Syme won his maiden DP World Tour title as he saw off playing partner Joakim Lagergren by two shots 12 months ago. The 29-year-old Scot was always in control on Sunday as he closed out a breakthrough win in his 182nd appearance.
"Unbelievable," he said. "It was so, so difficult the last few days. I just felt so much better this week, I felt really ready to do it, and I'm so, so happy I managed to do it."
With Syme starting the day two shots ahead of Lagergren with the rest of the field a further four back, it came down to almost a match play battle between the pair. Syme birdied the first and still led by three at the turn, with Lagergren essentially handing him the title with bogeys on the 15th and 17th. Syme signed for a closing 70 to finish at 11 under, while a Lagergren eagle on the last saw him also card a 70.
The Amsterdam venue has been the perfect venue for the event and in the past two years has seen victories for Syme and Guido Migliozzi. It also hosted in 2019 when Sergio Garcia lifted the trophy and the 2017 Masters champion is not the only Major champion to have tasted KLM Open glory.
First played in 1912 and an ever-present on the DP World Tour schedule since 1972 with the exception of Covid disruptions, the event has been won by the likes of Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer, José MarÃa Olazábal, Payne Stewart, Darren Clarke and Martin Kaymer.
As one of the great national opens, it is a jewel in the crown of the DP World Tour schedule and The International has played a big role in its storied history.
Joost Luiten will bid for a hat-trick of wins at his home open when he tees it up, with the local hero set to take bumper crowds with him. Luiten has been the main attraction at his home open for more than a decade but he will not be alone in putting on a stellar show for the Dutch fans.
Major Champions Francesco Molinari and Danny Willett tee it up this week as does 18-year-old rising star and U.S. Amateur champion Mason Howell.
Double victors in 2026 Jayden Schaper and Casey Jarvis will be looking to enhance their Race to Dubai credentials and they are joined by six other winners from the current season and six previous winners of this event on top of Syme, Migliozzi and Luiten. Add in more home favourites such as Wil Besseling and Daan Huizing and we are in for a thrilling week.
Football great Ruud Gullit will return as tournament director this week and he is bringing some famous friends with him.
Gullit, one of the greatest Dutch footballers of all time and a former Ballon d’Or winner, has been appointed tournament director for the second consecutive year. “I see myself more as a director of atmosphere than a tournament director," he said. "The KLM Open should offer top-level sport, but also energy, enjoyment and connection. Golf at the highest level, all with a smile.”
Gullit will also be joined by Oranje greats Patrick Kluivert and Marco van Basten for the pro-am, with Ronald de Boer hitting the ceremonial opening tee shot on Thursday. Daan Slooter will remain responsible as sports tournament director for the international player field and the sporting execution of the event
Beat the Pro may now be a fairly common sight across the world of golf but it was at this event in 2016 that it launched, giving amateur players a chance to win a prize if they could get inside the professionals shots on a par three.
It has produced many memorable and fun moments down the years but perhaps none more so than in 2019 when 100-year-old Susan Hosang took on Patrick Reed, Thomas Pieters and Matt Wallace. She may not have won but she produced one of the moments of the week and the season.

PGA Tour : Charles Schwab Challenge Leaderboard Results
Canadians: It was a much needed good week for Canadian veteran Mac Hughes whose well documented form has been a struggle to date.
Four solid rounds on what was an increasingly stern test on the venerable Colonial GC, 66 67 69 69 -9 T10 should do the 35 year old Hamilton native the world of good.
Just 3 shots off the winning score, in fact at -10 in the middle of the 14th fairway he looked odds on to challenge for the outright lead. However his approach from 168yds fell short resulting in his lone bogey.
He moves up from owgr #152 to #136, and his Fed Ex standings improves from #135 to #116
AJ Ewart had another good week T17 70 63 71 70 -6 Fed Ex standings #85 to #83.
Russell Henley reacts after sinking a putt on the 18th hole during the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge
Winner : The storyline is this. Russell Henley went out and grabbed this Charles Schwab Challenge with 3 straight birdies 16, 17, 18 to tie Eric Cole, then a winning 4th birdie on the playoff hole when Cole missed his.
This slightly built 6' 170lbs 37 year old from Macon Georgia, constantly contradicts the bomb and gouge brigade with good driving, exceptional iron play and a reliable putter, all through his college career where he won the Haskins award, through the American ranks until now
He moves from 12th to 5th owgr and to 11th Fed Ex standings. $1,782,000
Eric Cole story: I wrote yesterday "he could be forgiven for finishing runner up" On his storied mother Laura Baugh's 71st birthday, we were reminded that in her 25 year LPGA career she had 71 top 10's, with 10 runner ups, and never a win..
Her son on his 120th PGA tour start did everything he could for his maiden win, Henley just beat him for another runner up finish.
