Billy Horschel opens strong at Wyndham Championship but still grades his 2026 season as an ‘F’

Billy Horschel shot a 5-under 65 in the opening round of the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, placing himself in contention at the PGA Tour's regular-season finale. Despite the strong start, the 39-year-old eight-time PGA Tour winner, who won the FedExCup in 2014, graded his 2026 season an 'F' due to inconsistent play throughout the year. Horschel acknowledged the stakes — a good finish could secure a FedExCup Playoffs spot and 2027 Signature Event eligibility — but stated he is focused solely on playing quality golf rather than the implications.
