That left him tied with Clark, who acknowledged he might have been experiencing a bit of "brain fog" in the wake of his first major championship. McIlroy nabbed his first hole in one on the PGA Tour at the par-three eighth hole, but two late bogeys saw him settle for a two-under 68. Ireland's Shane Lowry, Chez Reavie and Eric Cole shared fifth on 64. It's a shame, but it's hard to be disappointed with 62." World number one Scottie Scheffler, coming off a third-placed finish behind Wyndham Clark and Rory McIlroy at the US Open on Sunday, had seven birdies in his seven-under-par 63. "But it came up well short, so maybe got caught in something, because the next shot the same club went 15 yards further. "The wind was just moving around a little bit the last few holes between kind of east and northeast and north and no wind, and felt like there was none really when I was hitting. "Plenty of good shots and I was rolling the putter great." As for 17, he said, he could only speculate as to what went wrong. "Really good stuff out there today," Scott said. Bradley had set the target with a round that featured nine birdies, including five in a row from the 10th through the 14th to start his round. Scott rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt at 18 to join Bradley on eight-under. He was nine-under through 15 holes but found the water with his second shot from the fairway at 17 on the way to a double bogey. Aussie veteran Scott also threatened to break 60.
