Yes, in a jumping bird strike the Tiger and the great man start with a bird. Meanwhile, his playmates in this morning’s band, Jordan Spy and Rory McIlroy, are garden birds. A bird for the Players Cam Smith champion at 11. And YE Yang joins the leaders at -2, pulling a chip from the periphery of 6 that would still be spinning now if the flag was not involved.

Robert McIntyre birds 13th par-five, and the young Scotsman leads the PGA … along with John Daly, who birds 5th par-five! By the way, these are long pairs of fives: the 13th is 632 yards, while the 5th measures 656 yards. It will be a long transition – a total of 7556 yards – which may explain why Tiger Woods is already feeling it. As the CBS operator followed him down by 10 after a well-placed kick-off, Woods told him unequivocally to “give me some breathing space.” Three times. But his mood improves quickly when he kills his second from 95 yards to a few feet. He will soon join the crew at -1.

US Open 2020 champion Bryson DeShambo unfortunately retired late last night. This inflamed wrist, shaken during a ping-pong game, is still not completely healed. He has been replaced on the pitch by Danny McCarthy, who was called up shortly and may be forgiven for his cold start. The 29-year-old from Maryland played 10, one of the most attractive doubles four on the court. Forward and upward and at least here.
Speaking of past winners, Tiger Woods will be out in a few minutes. He lifted the Wanamaker trophy the last time the PGA was organized in the Southern Hills. This is how the Guardian reported Major No. 13 at the time.
The opening blow of the PGA Championship 2022 was hit by 1991 champion John Daly. The big man continued to register the first bird of the week and by definition, worth it, became the first leader of the tournament. He was soon joined at -1 by several others who started out fast: Bob McIntyre of Oban, US-raised Mancunian Sam Horsfield, PGA pros Matthew Borchert and Michael Block, Texas veteran Ryan Palmer, 2009 champion YE Yang and major waiting champion Xander Schaufele, who screamed a short iron at 10 from 120 yards to three feet and arranged for his bird. The second specialty of the year is underway!

Preamble
It’s unfortunate that Phil Mickelson won’t be in the Southern Hills to defend the title he won so memorable last year on Kiawah Island, where he targeted the old PGA Championship slogan, Glory’s Last Shot, to become the oldest major winner. at 51 years and 11 months. This has been a story for centuries. Are his ridiculous LIV-related manipulations washed away and tarnish this incredible story? no. It’s not perfect, of course, but after a few years / months, when everything falls apart, it will be nothing more than a footnote, a historical curiosity. We will miss Lefty, of course we will miss him, but here we are. Next!
Another week of historical wonders awaits us. Jordan Spit will become only the seventh person to win a Grand Slam tournament if he adds the Wanamaker trophy to an autobiography that already lists wins from the Masters, US Open and Open. Masters champion and world number one Scotty Scheffler could finish the second stage of the Grand Slam calendar tournament. Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka could join Byron Nelson and Seve as a five-time big winner; the pair could also join Jean Sarazen and Sam Sneed as three-time PGA champions. As for the Tiger … well, he couldn’t win main number 16 and his second limp on one leg, could he?
That’s before we get to Colin Morikawa, John Ram, Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama, Cam Smith, Victor Howland, Patrick Cantley, Xander Schaufele, DJ, Shane Lowry, Matt Fitzpatrick, Will Zalatoris … well, we can all be here day. In fact, we will be here all day, starting our coverage when the McIlroy, Speet and Woods match came out shortly after 14:00 BST. It will be long. A LIV tour can do one thing. It’s included!
