    Hard to look past Brooks, he's been playing some nice stuff recently and he's the man for the big competitions. No doubt DJ and Woods will contend. McIlroy also should be close but I fancy a new major winner, Fowler or Rahm, can't decide which.

    I think he could be up there. Hopefully he wins a major soon, but his record ain't great either. Seriously likeable guy, moreso than most IMO

    Look at the different names on major wins this last decade, could be anyone, hit it long and hit it straight and you have a huge advantage....Rory the PGA leader in strokes gained off the tee and GIR so even with poor putting he could do it

    Always does well around there and now has the no-major monkey off his back.

    Tom Pieters opens with a triple bogey followed by a bogey and then double. Started on the harder back 9.

    it was weird in march with the players
    its weird now with no players
    its weird now to have a major
    its gonna be weird in august now with no major.

    IMO, they are to bunched up, should wait till august for the last one of the year

    Good call.
    I reckon unfortunately they're all playing for 2nd behind Koepka.

    What's Koepka at in the other 40 odd weeks of the year they aren't playing majors? He has a bizarrely major-centric record

    Back to back birdies for Tiger to move to +1 through 11 and playing the easier front nine too for his last 7 holes. I expect him to finish round one in the red.

    IS there a specific PGA championship leader board for this major.

    I dont remember there being one but the normal one is miles behind so I must be wrong

    Yes it's on the pga.com website (rather than pgatour.com). I can't post the link but you will find it there.

    He did (3 over after 9). But from the 10th its

    Birdie
    Birdie
    Par
    Eagle

    1 under for the 15 time major winner, through 13.

    Crazy looking scorecard...4th a par 5 measuring 517, seems reasonable. But then the 7th, measuring 524 is a par 4

    Tiger drops 2 shots in the space of 3 holes to fall back to +1 through 16. Meanwhile Brooks Koepka looking very good at the moment at 6 under. He leads by 2 from Luke List. Personally Rory McIlroy will be absolutely be loving the conditions and the way the golf course is set up. I have a funny feeling that Rory could do something special this week. Looks like a bombers paradise, with the soft conditions, which is right up Rory's street.

    Meanwhile Graeme McDowell has just finished his day at level par. While Shane Lowry three putted from 8 feet for a bogey five at the last, to finish round one at 5 over. Padraig Harrington will tee off in the next 5 minutes.

    First time watching .

    Jaysus the rough.

    Surprised with how low score is from keopka.

    Fairly ballsy press conference the other day.

    Basically saying in majors he knows most of field not up to it.

    Fair play to him calling it as it is and backing himself.

    I don't like him . But good stuff.

    If you can’t drive straight at this place you may as well book your flight out for Friday evening. His form is very up and down so no real surprise.
