Highlights | Round 1 | the Memorial | 2023

Check out the best shots of the day from round 1 of the 2023 Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, featuring Davis Riley, Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy among others.


The PGA TOUR heads to Ohio for the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, a Designated event at Muirfield Village Golf Club. Hosted by 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus, it is one of the PGA TOUR’s longest-running events at the same venue, having debuted at Muirfield Village in 1976. Billy Horschel returns this week to defend his title from 2022. His four-stroke victory marked his seventh PGA TOUR win last time out. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler also heads to Muirfield Village after finishing tied for third in last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge. He finished just one stroke outside of the Emiliano Grillo and Adam Schenk playoff. Grillo and Schenk will also be competing this week, looking to bring their hot hands to the Memorial Tournament. FedExCup Standings leader Jon Rahm and world No. 3 Rory McIlroy will also be teeing it up at Muirfield Village. Rahm won the tournament in 2020 by three strokes. Two-time tournament champion Patrick Cantlay heads back to Ohio aiming to get a third win under his belt, and his close friend Xander Schauffele will aim to grab his first title here after four top-20 finishes in five starts at the Memorial Tournament. Jordan Spieth, Viktor Hovland, Matt Fitzpatrick and Justin Thomas will also look for their first wins at Nicklaus’ signature event.

Would have loved to have seen McIlroy's 7 at the 18th.

Hideki 6 inches from albatross! I am so happy I seen him practicing side by side with Koepka at Oak Hill.

You've got to love a Mr Nicklaus designed golf course, the Qiddiya course in Saudi Arabia he's currently building looks awesome.

[leroy]

I have to admit these guys are good I thought back and tiger woods and Jack Nicklaus but these people are one step

[haas]

Matsyuama 4 iron from 238? Crazy speed

[lrn_news]

Riley finished at -5 and just one shot was shown.
Zero from past masters champ Danny Willet?

[ryanu]

Thanks for showing us some action shots finally instead of a bunch of short putts. We don't care about the flat stick stuff just show us how they got there.

Give the fans what they want, Commissioner McIlroy's triple please.😢😢😢 😢😢😢

[MrIsomer]

I like how the course commentators have running dialogue throughout all the other golfer's shots. But then Speith plays his normal bunker shot - drains it - and the announcers remain silent because it's nothing out of the ordinary...

[imbyl]

so no shots by Lowry, Willett, Wallace ???

[hammertyme]

Find a better scorer on tour in the last 20yrs including Tiger? Jordan Spieth is better than Tiger?
You're kidding?

Roy has turned into the Male version of Nelly korda they both drive the ball better than most of there competitors almost always there in the middle of the fairway further up than the people there playing with yet 90 percent of the time there the first ones to putt futher away from the hole than the people that was behind them in the fairway. I have noticed the guys will call roy out for bad iron play not so much for nelly.

[richlewis]

I've taken Matt Wallace every week including the week he won. I got no money in my FanDuel account. I will feel very sick if he wins

[isambo]

Video length is insensitive to 9/11 victims

For the live streaming the PGA tour is doing great stuff.. Xander and JT kinda fell apart today but should be a good finish.

[gamebroots]

What happened to Frittelli did he just leave?

[markstone]

Why so many Rory haters. Has to be the number 1 golfer to watch, apart from the Aussie guys 😁😁

[Fabianwolfgramm]

Can somone explain to mee why mcllroy is the 3rd best on the world ranking with his abysmal 2023?

[seizethecarp_]

McIlroy... Now ya see him, now ya don't. One clip he's vying for a tie of the lead, the next he's tied for 33rd. 🤷

[chrispalmer]

I only came here to see Rory's early choke.... 😂 PGA won't show their puppet chopping around.... 😭
