Oak Hill Country Club, Rochester, NY — May 18, 2023
The PGA Championship got off to a slow start yesterday morning at Oak Hill. Frost on the greens delayed the start for two hours. With 156 players in the field, Round One was interrupted due to darkness.
Eric Cole held the low score at that time, five strokes under par. He did not stay that way when play resumed at seven am this morning. Dropping two strokes over his final four holes, Cole finished in a tie for second with Scottie Scheffler, Corey Conners, and Dustin Johnson. Bryson DeChambeau was the official first-round leader after shooting 66 for a score to par of four under.
Some notables and their scores. Viktor Hovland (-2), Cameron Davis, Collin Morikawa, and Rory McIlroy (+1). Xander Schauffele, Hideki Matsuyama, Tony Finau, Brooks Koepka, and Justin Thomas (+2). Rickie Fowler, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Smith, and Jordan Spieth (+3).
One of the tournament favorites, Jon Rahm, shot a six over par 76. He is tied for 110th and in danger of missing the cut. Second Round play is already underway. Check back with The Lasco Press for an update on who survives the cut and who is heading home.
