Check out the best shots of the day from Round 1 of the 2026 Truist Championship, featuring Matt McCarty, Sungjae Im, Tommy Fleetwood, and Rory McIlroy, among others.
Matt Wallace at the first
second shot on the way.
Oh, what a swing here from Wallace.
That'll remain one of the better
of the day for a long time.
Maybe Cameron didn't have that mental
grind as much last week because he was
up by a lot for a lot of that tournament.
Tommy Fleetwood off to a great start.
That's an eagle at the 10th.
And the reigning FedEx Cup champion
is two under through one hole
right here in Charlotte.
How about Justin Rose in the fairway here?
3rd at the bar 5 he had to lay up
104 yard wedge and no problem there
for Rose it even took a little look.
Almost got that for birdie.
Christopher Rayton has been playing
some great golf this season.
Yeah, the young Norwegian rookie year out here.
28 years of age and on the T at 13
part 3217 today just saw Rory hit his
T shot 213 yards. Rayton hit a beauty,
almost hit the flagstick in the flag
with a bit of loft.
The low point there where the drain is.
That's also a low point where
the bottom of the flag is.
Back at 15 with Tommy. Yes.
I used to play completely.
Spieth was short par 368 yards today.
No, that's why he picked up the T quickly.
For sponsor invites this week,
Tony Finau received one of them.
Yeah, played decently at the
PGA here last year. Top 20.
The game has betrayed him for sure,
but he's certainly still a fan favorite.
Struck a back at the 5th.
Set going at that back right hole location.
Right at that back location.
So check this out.
This is from almost 60 feet away.
You go, OK, that happens once you know.
Maybe every couple of months, right?
Another remarkable victory down
in Riviera for the big golf course.
Speaking of good puppies,
this guy leaves the two and strokes game.
Well, what need the Potter here 14?
Classic action of Wallace.
Just halfway back halfway
through all that occasion.
Oh, there you go.
It's pretty good, wasn't it?
Not bad. Did you have a good chance
at Valerian's San Antonio too?
17 come off a 40 foot birdie putt at 16
and you go birdie birdie at 16 and 17.
Kurt, look out man. He might have.
That's the look of a man who said,
you know what? Get me to 18 quickly.
This line is ridiculous.
Let's see, let's see.
Oh come on, that's just ridiculous.
Yes, oh my gosh. Yes, indeed.
Get back there in a moment to
the 9th just off the green.
We had one on the last and you
thought maybe this time he does.
I thought he would make it at 8 and
then at 9 he did take advantage of it.
Good lie, not very far to go.
Sun JM. See if he can be the
first to reach 600. Oh yes, wow.
Wow, a bonus birdie at 17.
Kurt that was moving pretty good.
As we go to Victor Hoffman at 5
second coming down the hill.
I think that well, brilliant,
brilliant from the Norwich.
You might be one of the most
curious athletes in the world.
Christopher Wrayton we're going to have to
try left hand low pitching one more time.
I thought you were.
I know one more time when I get home.
Now rating at 8.
And he gets to 500 par.
Well, you're right,
you're taking advantage of the opportunity.
That's exactly what Christopher
is doing right here.
Cardi back at 5 is 2nd.
Candy loves these pins that are on the right,
so flagstick on the right.
Play the draw.
Oh yeah, go ahead and do that.
Oh yeah, looks a little set up for the fade too.
Oh playing the dead straight.
Oh and it's falling a little left downwind.
Look at this, oh my.
Thank you and that perfect
that perfect Danish accent.
Well, it's not a wonderful drive
on the 14th of this Eagle putt.
Of the day, reachable par 4.
Drip it in there.
Catches the right edge and Justin
gets it back to 300 par.
My goodness, just depends
on if it's enough or not.
It's enough. What a shot.
Do you feel like it's the same
movie we've been watching all day?
Yeah, Eagle 2 at 14 Verde at 15.
This is second on the park for 16.
Take some dead aim to this right hole location.
Oh wow, what a golf shot boy guard.
You helped get him there by one.
Gotta feel like that at that time.
Yeah, in an event for Sun JM.
Looking to get back to six under
and he does tie the lead with Matt McCarty.
Second at 9 from McCarty.
Where's that draw?
And again, what?
Good day going to.
The last three and birdies have
been really rare at the 9th.
11 minute wait after he hit that approach,
but it was worth the wait.
Birdies at 7, 8 and 9 to post a 63.
That's a brilliant day here.
I will see 18 here and how difficult
is playing really good tee shot.
Alex Norton but 202 left and
that wind switched around.
It's out of the right now at 18.
Does it matter?
Made it easier for that man.
Yeah, he's won over.
Late break. Oh, how did that just happen?
How? That's what he said.
8 under impressive 63 today for McCarty.
McCarty, I mean he did a lot of things
really, really well, but especially the putter.
That was lights out with the putter.
