Day 1 at Kiawah island
Keep that card
Keegan Bradley: The 2011 PGA Championship winner played so well Thursday, even an errant shot into the grandstand on No. 18 couldn't derail his round. Bradley took a free drop, got away with a par and signed for a 3-under 69.
Toss that card
Dustin Johnson: The world No. 1 flew his opening tee shot into a waste bunker, and that was the start to a dismal afternoon. DJ shot 4 over, including a double on his last hole.
