HAVEN, WIS. - Because of a fog delay of more than three hours, none of the players with afternoon tee times finished their rounds on the first day of the PGA Championship, meaning Friday will be a long day for half the field.
Of those who finished, Tiger Woods might have once again made himself the most newsworthy, making birdie on his first two holes after finishing 78th out of 80 players at the Bridgestone Invitational concluded last Sunday.
Woods finished at 1-under-par 71, and while he hit a few loose drives, including one swing on which he let go of the driver completely, he looked much more in control of his game than he has in weeks.
It was only the second time in his past 14 tournament rounds in which he broke par.
"Everything was better," he said. "I played too good not to shoot under par, and it would have been very disappointing and frustrating to end up at even par as well as I played today."
After his round, Woods worked with swing doctor Sean Foley on the driving range. While Woods has yet to admit he has hired Foley, Foley has been seen with Woods for three consecutive days.
Woods was asked how the fog delay affected him. "Well, I got to eat three breakfasts," he said. "So that's always good."
Woods received a mostly positive reception around Whistling Straits, except when he arrived at the 14th tee.
