HOUSTON (AP) — Stephan Jaeger couldn’t have dreamed up a better scenario for his first PGA Tour victory. He played the final 36 holes with the best player in the world, and he won the Houston Open on Sunday to earn his first trip to the Masters.

“It feels amazing,” Jaeger said.

Scottie Scheffler couldn’t imagine a tougher way for his March winning streak to end — a clutch shot to 5 feet on the final hole, and a birdie putt he thought was good until he looked up and realized it wasn’t.

“I hit two or three really good shots into 18 to give myself a chance and I feel like I made the putt and I looked up and it was breaking off,” Scheffler said. “So a bit disappointing, but Stephan played great this week and he’s a deserving champion.”

Jaeger closed with nine straight pars, and that was just enough for a 3-under 67 to finally win in his 135th attempt on the PGA Tour.

Jaeger was preparing for a playoff after narrowly missing a 20-foot birdie putt that would have assured the victory. But then Scheffler, who gave himself three good looks down the stretch, saw his putt burn the left edge of the cup.

“I expected him to make it, and I’m not mad at him for missing it,” Jaeger said.

Scheffler was trying to become the first player in seven years to win three straight starts on the PGA Tour, and he was right there with a chance. Two shots behind, he had a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 16th and settled for birdie. He missed from 12 feet for birdie on the 17th, and stayed alive when Jaeger missed from 7 feet on the reachable par-4 17th.

His last chance was from 5 feet.

“It would be one thing if I pulled it or something like that,” Scheffler said. “I just misread it. I don’t know why I misread it, it’s part of the game. Maybe I could have hit it with some more speed, I felt like I hit a nice putt kind of how I wanted to, just didn’t go.”

Jaeger, a 34-year-old German who came to high school in Tennessee when he was 16, earned his first trip to the Masters with the victory. He also is in the remaining four $20 million signature events this season.

Alejandro Tosti had a chance to become the fourth PGA Tour rookie to win this early in the year. He was tied for the lead until chipping too strong on the 18th and missing the 18-foot par putt for a 68.

There was a five-way tie for the lead at the start — the largest on tour since 2009 — and eight players had at least a share of the lead at some point during the round.

Jaeger was always in the mix, taking the lead with an 8-foot birdie putt on the par-3 ninth hole at Memorial Park. That was his last birdie of the day, and no one could beat him.

“I was just tried to stay within myself,” Jaeger said. “Birdies eluded me on the back nine. But this golf course plays difficult, especially when you’re around the lead. I’m just super happy.”

Thomas Detry, David Skinns and Taylor Moore all made mistakes down the stretch.

Scheffler was one shot behind when he missed the green on the par-3 15th and failed to save par on an 8-foot putt, falling two shots behind with three to play. He got one back with his birdie on the downwind 16th, where Jaeger had to lay up and settle for par.

Scheffler and Jaeger both missed good birdie chances on the 17th, and Scheffler had one last chance on the 18th.

Jaeger finished at 12-under 268 and cracks the top 50 in the world ranking for the first time.

“I couldn’t have dreamed up a better week,” Jaeger said. “Playing Scottie last couple days, he’s been on a tear, so to kind of slay the dragon a little bit this week was amazing. He’s such a good dude, such a good player, I was just happy to play with him a couple days.”

Defending champion Tony Finau closed with two straight birdies for a 66 and joined Scheffler, Tosti, Detry and Moore in a tie for second.

This was the final week for players to move into the top 50 and earn a Masters invitation, and no one from outside the top 50 — Mackenzie Hughes and Tom Hoge had the best chances — did well enough to earn a spot.

Byeong Hun An is the only player from the top 50 added to the field for the Masters, which now includes Jaeger.

Houston Open: How to watch, streaming, preview, tee times, and more

The PGA Tour heads to Texas, as Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark headline the field for this week’s Texas Children’s Houston Open .

Since 2020, this tournament has been held at Memorial Park Golf Course, a municipal course revitalized by Tom Doak in 2019. Brooks Koepka even served as an advisor during the renovation.

The course reportedly hosts 60,000 players per year, thus drawing comparisons to the likes of Torrey Pines and Bethpage Black—two major championship-caliber courses where daily fees are affordable for locals.

Houston residents can play Memorial Park for as little as $30 on weekdays, while out-of-towners have to fork over $120—not a bad price considering some of the best players in the world play there annually.

New this year is the tournament’s spot on the calendar. When defending champion Tony Finau won at Memorial Park, he did so in the fall of 2022. But since the WGC-Dell Technology Match Play was removed from the PGA Tour schedule this year, an opening popped up, and the Texas Children’s Open filled that void two weeks before The Masters.

Funny enough, before 2019, when this event moved to the fall, the Houston Open was played the week before the best players headed to Augusta National . Whoever won this event typically received the final invitation into The Masters.

Now it’s back in the spring, and the winner, if not already exempt, will receive an invite to Augusta.

Jaeger wins Houston Open for 1st PGA Tour title

Houston — Stephan Jaeger couldn't have dreamed up a better scenario for his first PGA Tour victory. He played the final 36 holes with the best player in the world, and he won the Houston Open on Sunday to earn his first trip to the Masters.

"It feels amazing," Jaeger said.

Scottie Scheffler couldn't imagine a tougher way for his March winning streak to end — a clutch shot to 5 feet on the final hole, and a birdie putt he thought was good until he looked up and realized it wasn't.

"I hit two or three really good shots into 18 to give myself a chance and I feel like I made the putt and I looked up and it was breaking off," Scheffler said. "So a bit disappointing, but Stephan played great this week and he's a deserving champion."

Jaeger closed with nine straight pars, and that was just enough for a 3-under 67 to finally win in his 135th attempt on the PGA Tour.

Jaeger was preparing for a playoff after narrowly missing a 20-foot birdie putt that would have assured the victory. But then Scheffler, who gave himself three good looks down the stretch, saw his putt burn the left edge of the cup.

"I expected him to make it, and I'm not mad at him for missing it," Jaeger said.

Scheffler was trying to become the first player in seven years to win three straight starts on the PGA Tour, and he was right there with a chance. Two shots behind, he had a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 16th and settled for birdie. He missed from 12 feet for birdie on the 17th, and stayed alive when Jaeger missed from 7 feet on the reachable par-4 17th.

His last chance was from 5 feet.

"It would be one thing if I pulled it or something like that," Scheffler said. "I just misread it. I don't know why I misread it, it's part of the game. Maybe I could have hit it with some more speed, I felt like I hit a nice putt kind of how I wanted to, just didn't go."

Jaeger, a 34-year-old German who came to high school in Tennessee when he was 16, earned his first trip to the Masters with the victory. He also is in the remaining four $20 million signature events this season.

Alejandro Tosti had a chance to become the fourth PGA Tour rookie to win this early in the year. He was tied for the lead until chipping too strong on the 18th and missing the 18-foot par putt for a 68.

There was a five-way tie for the lead at the start — the largest on tour since 2009 — and eight players had at least a share of the lead at some point during the round.

Jaeger was always in the mix, taking the lead with an 8-foot birdie putt on the par-3 ninth hole at Memorial Park. That was his last birdie of the day, and no one could beat him.

"I was just tried to stay within myself," Jaeger said. "Birdies eluded me on the back nine. But this golf course plays difficult, especially when you're around the lead. I'm just super happy."

Thomas Detry, David Skinns and Taylor Moore all made mistakes down the stretch.

Scheffler was one shot behind when he missed the green on the par-3 15th and failed to save par on an 8-foot putt, falling two shots behind with three to play. He got one back with his birdie on the downwind 16th, where Jaeger had to lay up and settle for par.

Scheffler and Jaeger both missed good birdie chances on the 17th, and Scheffler had one last chance on the 18th.

Jaeger finished at 12-under 268 and cracks the top 50 in the world ranking for the first time.

"I couldn't have dreamed up a better week," Jaeger said. "Playing Scottie last couple days, he's been on a tear, so to kind of slay the dragon a little bit this week was amazing. He's such a good dude, such a good player, I was just happy to play with him a couple days."

Defending champion Tony Finau closed with two straight birdies for a 66 and joined Scheffler, Tosti, Detry and Moore in a tie for second.

This was the final week for players to move into the top 50 and earn a Masters invitation, and no one from outside the top 50 — Mackenzie Hughes and Tom Hoge had the best chances — did well enough to earn a spot.

Byeong Hun An is the only player from the top 50 added to the field for the Masters, which now includes Jaeger.

Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open

Tony Finau was the defending champion at the Texas Children’s Houston Open and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was looking for his third consecutive victory. Both men were in the mix late Sunday at Memorial Park Golf Course, but it was Stephan Jaeger capturing his first PGA Tour victory in 135 starts.

The 34-year-old from Germany who moved to the U.S. when he was 17, shot 69-66-66-67 for a 12-under-par 268 total to top Scheffler and four others by a single shot. He pocketed $1.638 million from the $9.1 million overall purse. Those tied for second place earned $553,735.

Jaeger made four birdie in his first nine holes, but then closed with nine consecutive pars. Even he was surprised that it was enough to win. It was, perhaps, an impressive par save on the 13th hole that was his most impressive of the day. After flying the green on the 412-yard par-4, he chipped the ball to 20 feet and made the putt.

Scheffler won the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship to earn a combined $8.5 million. After taking last week off he was back in Houston to attempt to win three straight. He appeared out of sorts most of the week, making a double bogey in the second round and another in the third round. He even missed a putt from inside two feet during Round 2.

On Sunday, he made three birdies in the first nine holes, then failed to capitalize on his iron play down the stretch. He made a bogey at the 15th hole, but rebounded with a birdie on 16. He stood over a five-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to tie Jaeger and send the event into a playoff but he missed it. He will take a week off before heading to the Masters.

Finau, Alejandro Tosti, Thomas Detry and Taylor Moore tied for second place.

Houston Open moves to late March in PGA Tour's 2024 schedule

The Houston Open is officially returning to the spring portion of the PGA Tour schedule and will be played March 28-31 in 2024, tournament organizers announced Tuesday.

The PGA Tour had previously announced that the longtime tour stop would be moved back to the spring next year after it wasn't included in the fall portion of the 2022-23 schedule, now dubbed the "FedEx Cup Fall."

The Houston Open once was played the week before the Masters. In 2019, it was moved to the fall, when interest in professional golf is lower after the Tour Championship wraps up the FedEx Cup playoffs.

The event figures to occupy the space on the tour schedule vacated by the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin, Texas, which will not return in 2024.

The tournament will continue to be held at Memorial Park Golf Course. Tony Finau is the defending champion after winning in November 2022.

2024 Texas Children's Houston Open odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

W ith the Florida Swing wrapped up, the PGA Tour heads to Texas for the 2024 Texas Children's Houston Open . This is the 4th year Memorial Park will host the event, which is headlined by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler .

Below, we look at the 2024 Texas Children's Houston Open odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions .

Having won his last 2 starts, Scheffler will look to make it 3 wins in a row this week in Houston. He's the odds-on favorite to win at +275, by far the shortest odds of any player in the field. Wyndham Clark has the 2nd-best odds at +1200, followed by Will Zalatoris (+1800), Sabith Theegala (+2200) and 2023 champion Tony Finau (+2200).

Memorial Park is a par 70 and plays at 7,435 yards, so it's one of the longer courses on tour. It underwent a major renovation in 2019, which is when the PGA Tour returned to this site, with everything from hole distances changing to bunkers and trees being removed. Scheffler and Finau share the course record of 8-under 62, which Scheffler shot in 2021 and Finau carded in 2022.

Texas Children's Houston Open – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook ; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 3:32 p.m. ET.

Will Zalatoris (+1800)

Zalatoris' missed cut at the Players Championship was surprising, but it shouldn't be enough to deter bettors from taking him again this week in Houston. He typically plays well when the conditions are tough, as evidenced by his major finishes, and while he's never played this event before, it's a good bounce-back opportunity for him at a course that emphasizes ball striking over putting.

Sahith Theegala (+2200)

Theegala finished 61st and 22nd in his 2 starts at this event, but it's reasonable to think he'll improve upon both of those finishes this year. He's in the midst of his best season yet, already posting 4 top-10s and a runner-up in 8 starts with only 1 missed cut. Theegala is just the type of player who can unseat Scheffler at the top.

Keith Mitchell (+4000)

Mitchell had the Valspar Championship in his hands before collapsing in the final round with a 77 on Sunday. That dropped him from 1st to 17th on the last day of the tournament after holding a 2-shot 54-hole lead. That ending to his week will leave a bitter taste in his mouth, but it was more of a fluky performance with the driver than anything. He finished 41st here in 2021 and 9th in 2022.

Texas Children's Houston Open picks – Contenders

Joel dahmen (+6600).

After missing the cut in 3 of his 1st 5 starts of the season, Dahmen has gotten back on track by making it in each of his last 3 starts – including an 11th-place finish at the Players Championship. He followed it up with a T-49 at the Valspar last week and now ranks 27th in strokes gained: off the tee and 8th in approach.

Aaron Rai (+5000)

Rai missed the cut at the Valspar Championship by a few shots but he had notched 3 straight top-35 finishes before that. His putter hasn't cooperated, ranking 136th in strokes gained on the greens but he's 23rd tee-to-green. This is a course he's had success at before, finishing 7th and 19th in his last 2 starts here.

Texas Children's Houston Open picks – Long shots

Alex smalley (+12500).

Smalley has missed the cut in 7 of his 9 starts this season and one of his made cuts resulted in a 75th-place finish. So why bet him now? Because he finished 4th in this tournament in 2022 and 15th the year prior, so he clearly knows this course well.

Tyson Alexander (+25000)

Peter Malnati showed on Sunday that no matter a player's odds, anyone can win at any time. Alexander is a mega-long shot at +30000, but he was the runner-up here in 2022 and already has 1 top-20 finish this season.

PGA Championship analysis: What to know on Xander Schauffele, Tony Finau and more

Follow live coverage of the 2024 PGA Championship today

Receptive greens at Valhalla Golf Club led to multiple PGA Championship scoring records falling Thursday.

Among them, the first round of 62 in the Championship ’s history, shot by two-time major championship runner-up Xander Schauffele. Is this the week the talented American breaks through?

Advertisement

Here are the top numbers and notes to know from Round 1 of the 106th PGA Championship.

1. Schauffele carded an opening round 62, the lowest score in the history of the PGA Championship. There are four rounds of 62 in the men’s game in majors — Schauffele has two of them, both opening up majors in the last 11 months. Last summer at Los Angeles CC, both Schauffele and Rickie Fowler started the week with 62s. Branden Grace was the first to pull off the feat, doing so in the third round of the 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

Schauffele was excellent through the bag Thursday. He is the only man in the last three seasons of major championship golf to gain five or more strokes from tee-to-green and four or more strokes putting in the same round. Schauffele beat the field average Thursday by 9.28 strokes, the fifth-highest total in any round at this championship since 1980.

Xander Schauffele leads the PGA Championship. But can he finish the job?

2. Schauffele’s three-shot lead ties the largest after one round in PGA Championship history. Each of the previous three instances of players leading by three came at least a generation ago: Dick Hart in 1963 (finished tied for 17th), Bobby Nichols in 1964 (won) and Raymond Floyd in 1982 (won). While Schauffele has been a pervasive presence on the game’s biggest leaderboards for most of the past decade, this is the first time he has held the outright lead following any major round.

With an Olympic gold medal, two U.S. Ryder Cup appearances, more than 200 weeks in the world top 10 and seven official PGA Tour victories, there are few players in the game today who are as accomplished as Schauffele without a major championship victory. For his career, Schauffele has averaged 1.83 strokes gained total per round in the majors — the most of anybody the last 20 years without a win (minimum 40 rounds played). He has 12 top-10 finishes in majors since the beginning of 2017. In that span, only Rory McIlroy (16) and Brooks Koepka (14) have more.

In his major career, Schauffele has a scoring average of 69.5 in the opening round. It’s nearly a stroke and a half higher (70.9) for Rounds 2 through 4.

Xander Schauffele is on 🔥🔥🔥 And it's a tap in for the 3-shot lead! #PGAChamp pic.twitter.com/gvivxfLwS7 — PGA Championship (@PGAChampionship) May 16, 2024

3. Sitting outside the top 40 in the FedExCup standings and without a top-10 finish in a major in his last 11 attempts, Tony Finau arrived in Valhalla under the radar compared to majors past. After his first career bogey-free round at the PGA Championship, he’s in clear view. Finau shot 65 in Round 1, missing just two greens in regulation. He also gained more than three strokes on the field putting, a sore spot on his stat sheet in 2024 (160th on the PGA Tour).

Sahith Theegala also shot 65, making birdie on each of his last three holes to match Finau. Theegala gained a season-high 4.06 strokes on the greens to fuel his lowest career round in a major. Mark Hubbard’s 65 was so much of a surprise that it concluded after the domestic broadcast had switched to the NBA playoff pregame show. Hubbard’s 65 is the first time in 10 career major championship rounds he has broken par.

4. Despite his greatest weapon betraying him Thursday, Rory McIlroy opened with 66. McIlroy lost more than a stroke to the field on shots off the tee in Round 1, ranking 134th of 156 players in the field. Last week’s winner at Quail Hollow was brilliant around the greens though, going 7-of-8 scrambling and gaining a field-best 2.63 shots around the green.

When McIlroy won the PGA Championship at Valhalla 10 years ago, he shot a first-round 66 and sat in a tie for fourth place entering Round 2. He’s tied for fifth this year. This was the 19th time McIlroy has shot 66 or lower in a major championship, second-most of any player over the last 30 years (Tiger Woods, 28 times).

Trotter: Scottie Scheffler is in a fight at this PGA. It's the best thing for golf

5. Scottie Scheffler (67, 4-under-par) got off to an explosive start, making eagle on his first hole. The last player to make eagle to begin a major championship was Wyndham Clark last summer at the U.S. Open, a championship he went on to win. Scheffler was his usual excellent self from tee-to-green, gaining a field-best 5.32 strokes. It’s the sixth time in the last three years that Scheffler has gained five or more strokes tee-to-green in a major round — no other player has more than three such rounds in that stretch.

Scheffler is 4-under despite not putting well: He ranked 111th in the field Thursday in strokes gained on the greens. Scheffler still does not have a round over par on the PGA Tour since August 2023.

6. A whopping 64 players shot under par Thursday, the most in an opening round in PGA Championship history. There were 11 rounds of 66 or lower — only three times in the last 40 years have there been more in a single day at the PGA.

To say the greens at Valhalla are receptive this week is an understatement. In Round 1, the field had an average proximity to the hole of 38 feet, 6 inches — four inches easier than the PGA Tour average this season (38-10). This even though the average approach shot Thursday (177.4 yards) was more than five yards longer than the tour mean in 2024 (172.3).

7. Tom Kim posted one of the best scores of the afternoon wave with a 66. Kim, who ranks well outside the top 100 this season in strokes gained putting, was scorching hot on the greens (four made of 10 feet or longer). At 21, he is the youngest player to begin a PGA Championship with a round of 66 or lower since 1999, when 19-year-old Sergio Garcia took the opening round lead at Medinah with a 66.

Collin Morikawa, one of the primary characters at last month’s Masters, birdied four of his last seven holes Thursday to shoot 66, his lowest-ever opening round in a major. The two-time major champ did not make bogey on any of his last 13 holes after a rocky start — 2-over through five holes. Can Morikawa keep the momentum going? He ranks in the top five on Tour this season in first-round scoring average but is outside the top 100 in Rounds 2, 3 and 4.

8. Brooks Koepka flashed his excellent iron play in Round 1, hitting all but four greens in regulation and gaining 2.71 strokes with his approaches. He’s 4-under despite losing strokes to the field on the greens, an ominous statistic for the field heading into Round 2.

Koepka has shot 67 or lower a staggering 29 times in major championships dating back to 2014. That’s four more such rounds than any other player in that span. He is closer to the lead (five strokes) than he was after Round 1 a year ago (six), when he came back to win at Oak Hill.

'A happy Bob ... is a dangerous Bob': The PGA field is learning that about MacIntyre

9. This is the eighth time Jordan Spieth has teed it up at the PGA seeking the final leg of the career grand slam. In the seven previous opening rounds, Spieth had a scoring average just under 72 and lost 0.62 strokes to the field putting per round. He was significantly better Thursday, gaining more than 1.3 strokes putting during an opening 69. Four men have won the PGA from seven shots back or more after Round 1, the last being Keegan Bradley in 2011 (eight back).

10. Since 2000, 91 percent of major championship winners in the men’s game have been within five shots of the lead after the opening round. Thirty-three of the last 34 winners of the PGA Championship have been within six entering Round 2.

Over the last fifty years, just 15 percent of men’s major winners have held the lead or co-lead after the first round.
