The power of the weather gave the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am a year-awaited reprieve from its often wicked ways Thursday and powered the condensed elite field onto a leaderboard of low scores in the first round.

Scheffler went from the hill right of the 10th fairway at Spyglass to a front bunker, blasted out some 20 feet and missed his par putt. That was his only bogey, though he was 1 over until lacing the fairway metal to 30 feet for two-putt birdie on the par-5 14th, just as McIlroy on the hole next to him plucked his ball from the cup.
