Check out the best shots of the day from Thursday at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open, featuring Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele and Hideki Matsuyama among others. Play was suspended due to darkness and will resume Friday morning.

Fans who made it out to Thursday’s first round of the 2022 WM Phoenix Open were graced with perfect weather and arguably the best field in tournament history. The round was suspended due to darkness at 6:23 p.m., but as it stands right now, many of the PGA TOUR’s brightest stars – and a few familiar faces at the WM Phoenix Open – sit atop the leaderboard. K.H. Lee, who finished T2 at last year’s tournament, is in solo second place after five birdies and an eagle with one bogey blemish to finish the round 6-under par. Lee’s 2021 runner-up counterpart Xander Schauffele is three shots off the pace at 4-under, tied with World No. 1 Jon Rahm. Two-time and defending champion Brooks Koepka finished T3 at 5-under. But the surprise of the day is current leader Sahith Theegala – a 24-year-old former Pepperdine All-American and The Thunderbirds third sponsor exemption – who fired seven birdies and no bogeys to finish the day 7-under par before his round was suspended through 16 holes.

Bunker to Bunker Radio Host Greg Ellis was playing in Monday’s Carlisle Pro Am at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and had co-host Jim Hill as his caddy. Greg’s daughter and his granddaughter Ceci were able to walk with him during his round.

When they came up to the iconic stadium #16 hole, par 3, their PGA TOUR Pro partner, James Hahn lined up his birdie putt then stroked it to just barely miss his putt. He then turned to Ceci and invited her to give it a try from the same location. Long putt… and you can see the rest.
