The PGA TOUR’s Florida swing continues as Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge hosts the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. This event is the second of three player-hosted invitationals (along with Tiger Woods’ The Genesis Invitational and Jack Nicklaus’ the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday). ­World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be in the field this week. The American has gone T4-1-T15 in his last three Arnold Palmer Invitational starts and hasn’t finished worse than T17 in his last five TOUR starts – including three straight top-10s. Rory McIlroy will also be teeing it up in Florida this week. He’s had past success here claiming victory in 2018 and finishing runner-up two years ago. The Northern Irishman has also made nine out of nine cuts and claimed six top-10s previously in this event. Reigning FedExCup champion Viktor Hovland is also back in action this week. Hovland last teed it up at The Genesis Invitational where he finished tied for 19th. He has recorded back-to-back top-10 results at Bay Hill, including a runner-up in 2022. Others to look out for are Jordan Spieth, Max Homa, Justin Thomas and Austin Eckroat.

All right here we go from 134 oh he caught a lot of ball he’s played some baseball before certainly has oh yeah oh look at that shot but he did what you talked about he took the water kind of out of place he’s looking at least three maybe even 3 and

1/2 ft to the right side of the hole that’s left early oh he made it missed that he’s like well a little rise for the first 10 maybe 15 ft then it should peel to his right hand side so now it’s over the slope now it starts to break oh lovely

Yeah big strong left hand grip strong Club face let come out to the left coach look out there’s water down there oh off the rock where’s it going it’s going in the rod Direction how about this what did you say about shot of the day so he goes from a possible five or

Six to a potential three all right CT pan at the fifth typically this is his calling card with a wedge yes indeed yeah we go that is how you do it so CT pan will have that all over it oh you’re right Rd all over it’s

Correct all right this is low can he put a birdie on top of Luke Liss 11’s easy who said 11 was hard apparently so it’s a breather hole something less than driver off the tea then just a wedge to a green that’s well guarded by water oh that’s really good there’s no

Stopping in right now huh all right back over to the first the amateur Ford this is a strong dude he hits the ball hard he and his brother played alongside Davis Love the RSM classic in the fall and that’s a beautiful way to start open Champion Brian Harmon a decent start

Currently 37th he’s minus one today so far this dude with a wedge is Handy oh yeah Albert that comes up way short now that was a moment ago now Sam burns live yeah he had a lot easier lot well not that easy excuse me he had a

Lot easier putt than Scotty where it was a slightly uphill as opposed to downhill but it’s a different deal entirely mentally all right kiing Bradley to get to 200 par playing the 14th [Applause] Swi does it have enough energy it does there we go uhhuh I agree all right closing things out at 18 low his approach oh cut right in the elbow of this Boomerang shed green and how about L is on this 18th green over the years this is Ricky at

Eight that’s the third shot too trying to spin one into this front hole location oh wow spin one in near did 12 for Tom Kim always felt like hitting a longer iron out of a fairway bunker is a little easier than a wedge I like that he kind of Trapped

That flat down that is gorgeous boy he was able not to yank it back either so Tom Kim will have an excellent look to get under par this to also shoot a three under 69 big sweeper from left to right good looks good there you go take that Robert [Applause]

Damr good full swing there got to watch the spin oh nice this read down the hill is not too complicated oh yeah all right so there is another one for Victor hin who that’s going to stick what a he must have said something to shf apparently there’s something to

That uhh that’s exactly what SE straa has done he’s trying to earn a three underscore here at 17 Dei matama already a winner of one of the signature events on tour this year he won the Genesis at Riviera this is third at the par five and matama chips

In part of his round speaking of discipline Victor hin to get back to even par let him in there let him in and he does it little Smur for our reigning FedEx Cup champion so Shane Lowry he also told us yesterday he’s hoping for a good week around

Here well that’s a good St that’s a great St yeah struggled almost inconceivably with a game he has we’re over at the six one of the great holes to watch every year at Bay Hill and here’s Fleetwood for birdie and Tommy Fleetwood been on to

Get to even Park yeah one of those rare holes out here that you feel like you can make birdie little tucked pin on the right hand side fast down the down the slope and he judged if he wants to hit it tight yeah I’d expect this to be just a little left

Of the pin the green All Slopes from left to right he took a dead aim and that one carried by yards not maybe even one yard exactly maybe by feet we’re back at 13 Mike here’s a guy you and I were chatting with yesterday during the proom Eric Kohl’s in a very

Good frame of mind didn’t have the greatest week last week at the cognizant but he likes this golf course loves playing in Florida and how about that there’s some evidence of it sure is that’s where the lead is at the moment 567 Justin Thomas nice t- shot at the

Par three this for a two putting down the hill and that one drops for JT all right so Justin Thomas clean card on the day fourth birdie for Thomas usually we say last week’s winner but earlier this week the Monday finish Austin e Road the winner of the cognizant is second here at

18 as he plays as a PGA Tour winner for the first time his 50th event watch a lot of action the par five always give you some good stuff say theala here at 12 oh how about that one two big shots to there and the backboard effect was big time

There drops it in the eagle for theala at 300 part as tied for seventh and then been on at the 13th for birdie 43 ft out does it have enough absolutely perfect this is Cameron young he’s trying to get back to even par but one step at a time yeah

This is a dicey ho location in the back left of the green players have to play pretty conservatively but not Cameron Young on that punt 31 ft there’s the one step that he needed and now he’s back to one over chance for a good look maybe at

Birdie if he can set himself up to 16 can’t lay his second at the par five looking it up and down he likes the look of it and why not what a shot is that going to be a two not quite fabulous shot for Patrick Klay who can use one

Here field the 69 he’s in 61st position look how far back in his stance he has that ball shaft leaning forward just drag the handle forward just take a hack at it and have it go down how about that from Saw totally different chiens the

Eagle on 12 that c fter in the flag sck that one barely got to the front edge Rory maroy ready to go here got it past spe Drive needs this slope in a little draw to bring it back down towards the whole location oh oh there we go I was

Afraid that might spin back like he did in the last hle most of that action seen right here on Golf Channel throughout 11 again Shane Lowry’s just kind of cruising along here in the latter stages of the first round that’s where SP Park starting to break a little bit right hey

That’s unexpected but you will run to the 12th t look at that up at 17 SEIU Kim a player Champion know how aggressive a player Kim is almost got to 100 ft up in the air oh it’s going right at it oh look at this

Hello that’s the best shot of the day we go over to the T at 14 Jordan Speed seven IR 204 must be helping a little bit Jordan seems to have picked up some yardage this this year and he also picked up the tea right away he Lov that he knew it he

Knew that great club by m there man on your Ridder Cup team Shane low two great shots to get to here with his hands he’ll fancy this one and in it goes and that puts him in a tie for the lead little Eagle so birdie birdie eagle run

For Lowry and as Steve said before the only man out there who has not made a bogey 20 feet 8 in for birdie got the speed did he do it again yes he did Shane Lowry is now the only man sitting at six under par look at

That run from the 10th hole on Wow flatter section of the greenness coming from the back will’ll carry out a little bit like it yeah Jordan spe now for birdie to shoot 69 got all of that wed shot back to M and typical Jordan rolls it in three

Underpar what an up and day up and down day here us for Jordan but do we expect anything else 23f footer to finish round one in the books here at Bay Hill and Shane Lowry with that terrific run around the turn puts himself at the top of the leaderboard

Let’s not forget Hideki matama just a low lower in the third group off shooting 67 sa theala chipping in a couple of times leading that group 68 Henley and Hodges were early Jordan spe a lot of scrambling his 69 Justin Thomas 69 as well Min W Le played well last

Week big big group of players 13 and all sitting at three under and three back there’s world number one Scotty Sheffer he and moraca will lead the two unders Rory m is a couple back off the list you see there as we are through day one up
