Golf professional Sepp Straka didn’t get past a par round on the first day of the PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky. The Austrian, who lives in the USA, was already three over par on Thursday after a bogey and a double bogey, but managed a round of 71 at Valhalla Golf Club thanks to three birdies on his last six holes. 48-year-old crowd favorite Tiger Woods played a round of 72 (one over par).
The American Xander Schauffele managed a strong opening round with 62 strokes and nine under par. The Northern Irish co-favorite Rory McIlroy was also in the top field with 66 strokes. Top favorite Scottie Scheffler had not yet finished his lap.
