Louis Oosthuizen struck a tree root on the second hole and hurt his right forearm. He’s fine. The 8-iron wasn’t. But he’s still only two back.

Jason Day has never been considered one of the game’s fastest players, but on Friday at the PGA Championship it was a sprint to the finish.
Jordan Spieth will begin the weekend 11 shots off the lead and has all but given up on completing the Grand Slam this week.
Kevin Kisner likes to play aggressively. But aggressive play isn’t rewarded this week at Quail Hollow. Thus, a change in plan has him leading.
Kevin Kisner isn’t the longest on the PGA Tour, but he may arguably be the best putter on Bermuda greens, a plus at the new Quail Hollow.

Kevin Kisner has always enjoyed playing Quail Hollow but this week that affinity has grown substantially thanks to the Bermuda greens.
Paired with Rory McIlroy on Thursday at the PGA Championship, Rickie Fowler could see the similarities between the two star’s rounds.

Gary Woodland has been battling a balky putter recently, but it’s nothing compared to what he’s dealt with at home. Through it all, he managed a 68 on Day 1 of the PGA.
