Mudballs in the fairway, goofballs in the officials’ suite, and a screwball leaderboard. And for Rory McIlroy? Well, to be frank, it was all a bit of a balls-up.

Justin Thomas’ wild opening round at the PGA Championship ended fittingly enough, with his left sock and shoe off as he contemplated how to hit from an utterly ridiculous lie after his ball came to rest on a one-foot patch of tall grass sandwiched between a large rock and a creek next to the 18th green. For what it’s worth, Thomas somehow managed to land his chip beautifully on the green by striking down at the ball with his lob wedge, only to miss the 12-foot par putt and finish at 2-over-par 73, nine shots behind leader Jhonattan Vegas. The two-time PGA champion played the first six holes in 4 over before rallying back to 1 over for the day heading into No. 18.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A brief look at the first round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow (all times EDT):

LEADING: Jhonattan Vegas birdied five of his last six holes for a 7-under 64, his lowest score in 45 rounds at the majors.

CHASING: Ryan Gerard and Cam Davis at 66.

TRIPLE DOUBLE: Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele all made a double bogey on the par-4 16th hole.

RYDER CUP: European captain Luke Donald shot 67, a better score than all 12 players on his winning Ryder Cup team at Marco Simone. U.S. captain Keegan Bradley shot 68, a better score than all 12 Americans on the last Ryder Cup team.

MASTERS ENCORE: McIlroy went without a birdie over his last 12 holes and shot 73 in his first round at a major since capturing the career Grand Slam at the Masters.

MUD BALLS: Scheffler and Schauffele both thought it was a bad idea for the ball to be played as it lies despite three days of rain. They complained of mud balls during their rounds, including on the 16th hole where both shots veered left and went into the water.

SHOT OF THE DAY: Eric Cole made a hole-in-one on the par-3 fourth hole.

NOTEWORTHY: For the first time in at least 30 years, no one from the top 10 in the world ranking was among the top 10 on the leaderboard in a major after 18 holes.

QUOTEWORTHY: “ You spend your whole life trying to learn how to control a golf ball, and due to a rules decision all of a sudden you have absolutely no control over where that golf ball goes. But I don’t make the rules. I just have to deal with the consequences of those rules.” — Scheffler on mud balls.

TELEVISION: Friday, 7 a.m. to noon (ESPN+), noon to 7 p.m. (ESPN).

Jordan Spieth came to Quail Hollow hoping to follow in Rory McIlroy’s footsteps and complete the career Grand Slam. After Thursday’s opening round of the PGA Championship, he’d probably be happy just to make the cut. The 31-year-old Spieth struggled in every facet of the game at demanding Quail Hollow — off the tee, with his approach shots, his chips and even his putting — and shot a 5-over 76, leaving him 12 shots behind leader Jhonattan Vegas and all but ending his hopes this year of capturing the one major that has eluded him since he turned pro 13 years ago.

The PGA Championship put the top three players in the world together for the first time in three years on Thursday and the conversation turned to mud. Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele each had clumps of mud on their golf balls from the middle of the 16th fairway — the hardest hole at Quail Hollow — and saw their shots curve hard to the left, over the green and into the water, leading to double bogeys. The PGA of America put out a notice on the eve of the first round saying that the ball would be played as it lies because the turf was “outstanding and drying by the hour.”
