Memories of Merion fuel Rose's rally on Day 1

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – On a listless morning, Justin Rose got off to a woeful start in the 97th PGA Championship. The trouble began at the par-5 11th, his second hole of the day, when he found himself in a greenside bunker.

“It was just the most awful rake job I have ever seen in my life,” Rose said. “Actually couldn’t even get it out of the bunker. Left it in there and got up and down for a bogey.”

Following a “weak bogey” at the par-4 13th, Rose was 2 over through four relatively easy holes.
