It’s been several hours now and the top of the leader board has not changed with Tom Kim, Rory McIlroy, Bernd Wiesberger and Patrick Cantlay still there on five-under.
Brooks Koepka (America), a five-time Major winner, plus Min Woo Lee (Australia), Michael Thorbjornsen (America) and Keita Nakajima (Japan) all lurking on minus four.
Jon Rahm, one of the biggest names, had slipped to plus three as he played the ninth, the Spanish golfer starting his round with a bogey six after trouble off the tee. It got worse as he lost another shot soon after.
