- Both Scheffler and Schauffele double-bogeyed the par-4 16th hole and expressed frustration with the rule requiring players to play the ball as it lies, with Scheffler lamenting how years of practice in managing ball control can be undermined by such regulations.
- The round marked a rare event where no top-10 world-ranked players were in the leaderboard's top 10, highlighting unpredictable conditions and possible rule impact on play.
