The 91st PGA Championship is being played at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota from Thursday August 13 thru Sunday August 16. The 7,674-yard course is the longest in major championship history.
Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington began Thursday strong, playing in the same group with Rich Beem and challenging for the lead. Woods said, “I played really well today. I hit just a bunch of good shots. And this round could have been really low. I missed a bunch of putts out there. So it was just a very positive start.”
Harrington said that he and Tiger chatted throughout the first round. “You can do that on Thursday. Sunday is the business day. Today was a more pleasant round of golf, and it’s good to keep it that way. That gets the best results, as it showed today for all of us.”
John Daly withdrew with a back injury after firing a six-over-par 78 on day one..
As Saturday morning dawns, Woods is leading at -7, with Ross Fisher, Lucas Glover, Padraig Harrington and Vijay Singh are in a four-way tie at -3. Tiger and Vijay will tee off at 1:40 p.m. central on Saturday.
