KIAWAH ISLAND, South Carolina -- Even before a tee was officially put in the ground Thursday morning at the PGA Championship, there was a certainty curiosity. How would the golf course play? Would the wind blow so much the best players in the world would spend the entire week just trying to hang on? And, of course, which players would handle the difficult Ocean Course at Kiawah Island?
The first set of answers came Thursday, complete with some surprises. Some good (Phil Mickelson and Corey Conners), some bad (Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson).
