PGA championship 2015 1st round

and PHIL surely is starting with the lowest expectations of any major in his career. I can't remember a timer, ever, that PHIL has drawn less notice. In fact several writers have noted this occurrence.

So maybe PHIL will be so low under the radar? let's go PHIL

I'm out of town for a wedding till Sunday.will be watching hit or miss and checking phone for scores. I taping it at home hoping Phil will be doing some awesome stuff.!!

What a shock to see Dustin Johnson on top of the leaderboard. He has played some great golf this year.

Wow birdied #1 and I will be back in two hours

Birdie on 1st hole!

It's early, but Phil not swinging well. Looks off with his irons.

Phil carries the water on 5 by inches. Great bunker shot and a birdie, back into the red.

Are you talking about the par-5? LOL, the Shot tracker shows "in the water" but next shot is on the green, lol

-1 is okay--lets keep going PHIL

Another terrible iron shot for Phil on 7, then he hits an unreal bunker shot from an awkward stance...followed up by a miss from five feet.

Big hook off the tee on 8, not sure if that's in the water or it caught the bunker. Phil is not hitting the ball well at all. Lucky to be even.

Another bogey for Phil on 8. Not swinging well at all. Wheels could be falling off here.

Back to back bogies for Phil....poor swings and missed putts....wind and conditions much harder for pm players...when Phil was one under it was tied for best round in front nine with Donald....Lingmieth is going low on back nine but it is playing much easier...hoping Phil can stay around level or even get under par and then get out early and post something.

Another poor iron shot well short of the ninth green. His iron play has been dreadful.

Great chip almost goes in and Phil saves par.

10 and 11 are birdie chances, how he plays them could decide which way this round goes.

Back to even and the winds seem rough

Anything red will be good today

Bad tee shot left Phil with short sided pitch...no spin out of rough and he will have to hole 24 footer to birdie short par 4 10th

Ohhh man I can't believe that stopped, an inch away from sucking a wedge back in for an eagle.

Just misses birdie from about 20 feet, par on 12.

Great approach from the rough sets up a 12 footer for birdie.

Misses another fairway, but once again good recovery shot. About 20 feet for birdie.

I think that Phil has played great today. Par is excellent ththan morning they saidis afternoon. Playing 4.5 shots harder than morning they said..

Phil has saved himself with some great recovery shots. Hit it all over the map today, but he's right in the thick of things. Hopefully he's sharper ball striking-wise tomorrow and can shoot something in the 60s.

Good run at birdie on 18 just misses. 72 isn't too bad considering the conditions.

Not bad at all. He really scrambled.

Colin Montgomery said Phil could have easily shot 80 today. EVEN is great for afternoon considering where he hit it.Better conditions in the morning will tell the story
