:01:03. > :01:09.Hello, and welcome to live coverage here on the BBC of the final Major
:01:10. > :01:15.of the season - the PGA Championship from Quail Hollow in North Carolina.
:01:16. > :01:19.97 of the world's top 100 players are here, including 30 Major
:01:20. > :01:23.champions. Amongst them, a man looking to become the youngest to
:01:24. > :01:27.complete a Grand Slam of Majors. Could Jordan Spieth make history
:01:28. > :01:32.this week? Plenty of players are trying to stop him. Here are some of
:01:33. > :02:18.the favourites heading into the season's Major finale.
:02:19. > :02:25.Well, Quail Hollow has proved to be a very tough test on day one. But it
:02:26. > :02:30.was one of the morning starters who was setting the earliest pace. The
:02:31. > :02:35.course is playing long and the greens are fast, but it is
:02:36. > :02:40.27-year-old ball beyond Oryx and -- Thorbjorn Olesen with these birdie
:02:41. > :02:46.putt on 18. In it would roll. His sixth birdie of the day. A couple of
:02:47. > :02:51.drop shots, but he had a clubhouse lead of 4-under par. The US opens
:02:52. > :03:01.champion Brooks Koepka, this was his third. -- the US Open champion. He
:03:02. > :03:07.was chipping in there. That was for a birdie on the second to go to
:03:08. > :03:13.1-under par. US Open champion Brooks Koepka, this time his third to the
:03:14. > :03:18.par-4 3rd hole. His 12 whole of the day. He started on the tenth. That
:03:19. > :03:23.would take into 1-under par. So will his 12 hole of the day. He would
:03:24. > :03:28.finish on 3-under. This man is looking for the Grand Slam, Jordan
:03:29. > :03:32.Spieth. His second shot to the eighth, his 16th hole of the day.
:03:33. > :03:35.That would be good enough for back-to-back birdies, and he would
:03:36. > :03:42.sign for a 72, 1-over par for the day. A very up-and-down day for
:03:43. > :03:49.Luiten. A triple bogey seven on the 15th. -- Joost Luiten.
:03:50. > :03:58.How about that for a little light relief? He would sign for 76. After
:03:59. > :04:05.all that, 5-over par. Celebrations, though. Pretournament favourite Rory
:04:06. > :04:13.McIlroy. This was his third shot to the par-4 3rd. It would trickle in
:04:14. > :04:17.to put him 1-under par. But he had a nightmare on the 14th, ended up with
:04:18. > :04:22.a double bogey there. He is currently 1-over par. So, let's see
:04:23. > :04:26.how things stand. Thorbjorn Olesen with the clubhouse leader 4-under
:04:27. > :04:31.par. He is being chased by a bunch of Americans. Grayson Murray, Gary
:04:32. > :04:36.Woodland, Chris Stroud, the only bogey-free man of the day. US Open
:04:37. > :04:39.champion Brooks Koepka all on 3-under par. To any Finau on
:04:40. > :04:47.2-under. Patrick Reed looking for his first top ten finish in a Major.
:04:48. > :04:55.He is in the clubhouse on to wonder, alongside England's Paul Casey. A
:04:56. > :04:58.nice opening 69 for Paul Casey. Some of the chase is still out on the
:04:59. > :05:05.course. Jon Rahm is playing alongside Rickie Fowler. Also on
:05:06. > :05:10.2-under par. Some good scores. Louis Oosthuizen had an eagle on the back
:05:11. > :05:11.nine to help into a 70, 1-under par. Alongside Tommy Fleetwood and former
:05:12. > :05:23.champion Jason Day. Also in the clubhouse, Zach Johnson,
:05:24. > :05:29.former Open champion. Adam Scott just finishing off his round on
:05:30. > :05:35.level par. Ben and started the day on fire but he's fallen back. He is
:05:36. > :05:40.level par through his first 15 holes. Chris Wood, a 72 today,
:05:41. > :05:46.1-over par. Alongside Jordan Spieth, who is coming into this Championship
:05:47. > :05:51.trying to make history. And there is Rory McIlroy. Through 16 holes he is
:05:52. > :05:57.1-over par. Can he pull a couple back before he signs for his card in
:05:58. > :06:03.the clubhouse? Keep going a little further down. There is Danny
:06:04. > :06:09.Willett, 2-over par, 73, alongside Lee Westwood. Let's get out on the
:06:10. > :06:12.course with your commentators, Ken Brown and Peter Alliss., Tait and
:06:13. > :06:20.there's DeChambeau. He has a strange way of playing. When few weeks ago.
:06:21. > :06:24.He makes it work -- winner there a few weeks ago. It's a bit of a
:06:25. > :06:36.struggle today, but that's a good one.
:06:37. > :06:48.A familiar face, Luke Donald. Average score today is 75. The
:06:49. > :06:57.bottom at the 18th for a round of 76ers. No birdies on it.
:06:58. > :07:12.Softish fairways. Firm and very fast greens today. Kevin Na.
:07:13. > :07:17.Can he? That's a bit of a shirt, isn't it with Lexmark well might it
:07:18. > :07:23.is! It's not doing him much good. It really has been a struggle, the
:07:24. > :07:57.last, well, two or three hours. We're so used to seeing players six
:07:58. > :08:05.or 7-under par. It's a change when you see them struggling like this.
:08:06. > :08:18.Please go! He's all right to... Safe! 260 yard par-3 at the 6th
:08:19. > :08:30.today. The Phil Mickelson. -- to Phil Mickelson.
:08:31. > :08:41.39, he took a six at the 10th. Three more bogeys. 8-over par. Playing in
:08:42. > :08:48.his 100th Major Championship. What he won't want to remember, thus far
:08:49. > :08:52.anyway, Fowler at the 17th, just two holes left, he is to wonder. -- he
:08:53. > :09:22.is 2-under. Elevated tee at the 17th. The greens
:09:23. > :09:26.are five or six yards further. The red dots are the people who have
:09:27. > :09:31.missed the green to the right hollow, who have often dropped a
:09:32. > :09:38.stroke. Dangerous part three, tests the best. Rory McIlroy, a 6-iron.
:09:39. > :10:04.Get in the whole! Oh!, long... -- come along. That's a fine result.
:10:05. > :10:11.Haven't seen many birdies in the last hour or so. On the 14th of
:10:12. > :10:24.15th, he to 3-under. A 6-iron. 226 yards, and he has
:10:25. > :10:30.shoved it into the little hollow, I think. It has a 50-50 chance,
:10:31. > :10:32.judging by the little dots, whether he will get down in two, very
:10:33. > :10:45.tricky. Luke Watt faces Phil Mickelson, his
:10:46. > :10:50.18th. The shot down the hill, and you play up the hill, a little green
:10:51. > :10:56.runs down the left and a bunker on the right. -- a little stream.
:10:57. > :11:06.Effect, absolutely perfect. -- perfect.
:11:07. > :11:11.Looks pretty, but it hasn't been kind to too many people stop yellow
:11:12. > :11:13.no, and some of these players will be glad to get away tonight and
:11:14. > :11:29.think what might have been. He has got some holes left to play.
:11:30. > :11:37.He could catch our leader, the man from Denmark.
:11:38. > :11:45.2-over, Graeme McDowell. He was 1-under at one time. Oh, good shot.
:11:46. > :11:59.Well done. 1-under, second into the 15th.
:12:00. > :12:24.Slightly fluffy lie. Big tee shot. See how they keep rolling about. It
:12:25. > :12:27.just shows you how tight the fairways are, the slopes and the
:12:28. > :12:36.speed. It has rolled at least ten or 12 yards. YE Yang, he won this
:12:37. > :12:49.Championship in the days of Tiger Woods.
:12:50. > :12:53.Well, it ended up pretty good, really. I thought it was going to be
:12:54. > :13:05.one shot. -- one shot. Kevin Chappell, an
:13:06. > :13:14.eagle chance at the 7th. And he's done it. Outstanding. Seven and
:13:15. > :13:15.eight do offer some chances, but there haven't been too many evils
:13:16. > :13:59.there. -- too many eagles. The little hollow to the right of
:14:00. > :14:04.the 17th, like so many before. Very tricky to get up and down. You have
:14:05. > :14:08.to chip it up the bank, and then it green slides away from you. Kisner,
:14:09. > :14:19.16th. 3-under. He would be delighted to stay at
:14:20. > :14:31.3-under. Long par 36, DA Points. A little
:14:32. > :14:53.unlucky that he didn't Rahm after that week chip shot.
:14:54. > :14:59.Expected the ball to run so much more down the hill.
:15:00. > :15:07.The same with the putt. Oh, it's getting there. But it won't quite
:15:08. > :15:15.rich. The shot dropped back to 1-under for arm. -- it won't quite
:15:16. > :15:23.rich. For Hahn. A long afternoon, coming up to 6:30pm, local time.
:15:24. > :16:04.Rickie Fowler. No! Just ran out. Just ran out of speed. Scoring the
:16:05. > :16:21.last couple of hours has rocketed up. Babs only 1-under par, four or
:16:22. > :16:23.five game, 79s, 76s. Ryan bought, slightly more awkward angle than it
:16:24. > :16:31.would have been if the ball had stopped by the track. Now, Rory need
:16:32. > :16:41.something to brighten his round-up. No. Most extraordinary. He has
:16:42. > :16:45.wonderful moments, and then, on occasions, a couple of poor shots,
:16:46. > :16:46.weak shots, careless shots, a couple of missed putts, and he's back with
:16:47. > :16:59.the pack. This is one of his favourite
:17:00. > :17:04.courses. He's got a wonderful record here. He's going to have to do
:17:05. > :17:11.something pretty good tomorrow on the weekend. It is a bad 13, 14. He
:17:12. > :17:25.didn't play well there at all. Point surname gets away with another
:17:26. > :17:36.one. He really is quite extraordinary. -- Points. Mickelson.
:17:37. > :17:48.Good drive at the last. Now, Dufner. Playing alongside
:17:49. > :18:34.Mickelson. STUDIO: It is still Thorbjorn Olesen
:18:35. > :18:39.out in front. Amongst those at 3-under, Grayson Murray. He lives
:18:40. > :18:44.just 2.5 miles from Quail Hollow. His debut at the PGA. He shot
:18:45. > :18:49.3-under today. As did Gary Woodland. He missed the cut in his past three
:18:50. > :18:54.PGAs. He is looking for his first top ten finish in a Major this week.
:18:55. > :19:01.Chris Stroud, the only man without a bogey on his card, is also on
:19:02. > :19:05.3-under par. Rickie Fowler is on to wonder, as is Bud Cauley, a
:19:06. > :19:12.27-year-old from Dawidiuk, -- is an 2-under. -- from Florida. Jason Day,
:19:13. > :19:17.the winner two years ago at Whistling Straits, he carded a 70,
:19:18. > :19:26.alongside Hideki Matsuyama, who had 61 on Sunday to win at Bridgestone.
:19:27. > :19:32.Matt Kuchar. COMMENTATOR: 226 yard 17, Matt
:19:33. > :19:33.Kuchar. A couple of holes to go, and then think about what you're going
:19:34. > :19:45.to have for dinner! That looks a bit like another
:19:46. > :19:53.bailout... And such a difficult chip from there.
:19:54. > :20:05.Bill Haas. Son of famous dad, 6-over par.
:20:06. > :20:30.Steady... Oh, that could do well. If it just gets on the green... Yes!
:20:31. > :20:42.JB Holmes. He is on a different hole. I thought that was Graeme
:20:43. > :20:49.McDowell's impression of JB Holmes, I think! He has changed his swing
:20:50. > :20:52.the past couple of years. He takes it more inside now, he has got rid
:20:53. > :21:00.of the lay-off. But I'm not sure I prefer it. He's gone off the boil
:21:01. > :21:01.the last couple of years. He was a very competent player. And that's
:21:02. > :21:22.the beauty. That is absolutely... 63 players are the rover and better.
:21:23. > :21:26.The cut looks like something of 5-over, given another good day. So
:21:27. > :21:31.this course pretty much reading havoc on the field, when you
:21:32. > :21:35.consider the position is. McIlroy at the final hole. We really could do
:21:36. > :21:41.with a birdie here, or something. We certainly don't want to drop shot.
:21:42. > :21:48.Par from 72, which runs a course like this is not bad, really. In
:21:49. > :21:58.real terms. At this moment the best score is 67. He has made a couple of
:21:59. > :22:05.unforced errors. Here is Points, remarkable watching him put his
:22:06. > :22:17.round together. Three holes left. Asking for a bit of fade... And not
:22:18. > :22:23.getting it. What's it to the bunker? The players' badge on his belt. It's
:22:24. > :22:30.always a very elaborate belt given to the players at the PGA.
:22:31. > :22:48.Now, Mickelson. Is this going to be the end? Or will the battle
:22:49. > :22:52.continued? The battle will... Oh, will it ever continue?! What are you
:22:53. > :22:57.doing, Philip?! I have never seen him play like this, I don't think.
:22:58. > :23:07.I've been watching him for a long time.
:23:08. > :23:16.A couple of bogeys in the last two holes. On the fairway at 18. All
:23:17. > :23:23.three players very similarly placed, perfect.
:23:24. > :23:45.Yes? ... No! Just wiggled in the end. These are new greens. They
:23:46. > :23:51.haven't quite settled in yet, consistently, I don't know, but a
:23:52. > :23:56.lot of putts have been missed. They certainly have. Now Mickelson, this
:23:57. > :24:09.to break 80. Oh! That's real pressure.
:24:10. > :24:21.Well, if you thought the front nine was bad, the rest is slightly worse.
:24:22. > :24:31.TNT kindly providing details of Phil's worst career round this
:24:32. > :24:41.weekend. He will be overjoyed at people knowing that! At the British
:24:42. > :24:52.Open he wants shot 85. -- he wants shot. Dufner finishing off.
:24:53. > :25:08.Five bogeys in the inward nine. Out in 2-under. All a big struggle.
:25:09. > :25:12.Jimmy Walker, the defending champion, the other member of this
:25:13. > :25:17.group. Double bogeyed the last round of 81. To say it was a lacklustre
:25:18. > :25:32.trio is definitely an understatement.
:25:33. > :25:43.Lahiri, 2-over, playing his last hole, the night. -- Wehrlein. Come
:25:44. > :25:52.on, up you come! No. All this is good, well done. Two starting tees,
:25:53. > :25:56.which is frowned upon rather by the bigwigs over in the UK. But it gets
:25:57. > :26:11.the job done fairly quickly. Fowler first player this 80. Front
:26:12. > :26:14.right -- at this 18. Got to get over a little false front. Oh, that's
:26:15. > :26:52.beautifully done by Fowler. Absolutely perfect for distance.
:26:53. > :27:12.Must be at least 178 yards to the second shot. 7-iron or 8-iron,
:27:13. > :27:13.colossal. Now Rory. 494 yards, Peter. You're probably spot on,
:27:14. > :27:19.there. That looked less, didn't it? That
:27:20. > :27:35.looked like a wedge. Chance of a birdie four McIlroy.
:27:36. > :27:37.That will send him home happy. He has been at times a bit untidy
:27:38. > :27:56.today. A couple of slack shots. Final hole the Marc Leishman. -- for
:27:57. > :28:07.Marc Leishman. This for a 74. Not to be. So, that one will be for around
:28:08. > :28:09.75. -- round 75. Playing with Lahiri. Danny Lee, the New
:28:10. > :28:23.Zealander. Ben and for a birdie at the 8th, his
:28:24. > :28:28.17th. And look where that has finished, right behind the hole.
:28:29. > :28:43.Can't believe it took so long to turn.
:28:44. > :29:02.Justin Rose, like so many, heading out at 17. But able to putt it,
:29:03. > :29:12.which is a bit of help. Not doing too badly at all.
:29:13. > :29:26.Rafa. Cabrera-Bello S3 over. -- is 3-over.
:29:27. > :29:36.Oh! A rather fortunate escape there. Now, who is that? He gave that a
:29:37. > :30:14.very serious lash. Long and high, Ross. He should
:30:15. > :30:21.relish this course. Only 1-over. That's a good shot. Perfect lie. Jon
:30:22. > :30:54.Rahm. At the 18th. The crowds have stayed right to the
:30:55. > :31:02.bitter end. It is nice to see the summer aparel after some rather grim
:31:03. > :31:08.golfing conditions in the UK. The spectators look like they're about
:31:09. > :31:19.to climb the Matterhorn. And here it is bright and fine silks. You have
:31:20. > :31:25.been watching those old Bob Hope films again? No, that's classic
:31:26. > :31:33.stuff. Now, Rory, send us home happy. Or happier! Down the left.
:31:34. > :31:40.Down the left. Down the left! Everyone's missed it right, haven't
:31:41. > :31:59.they? Incredible. Not what he wanted ready, but he
:32:00. > :32:05.still has got to hole this for a 72. That is not the end of the world,
:32:06. > :32:07.but it ain't good. I suppose on reflection it's better than average.
:32:08. > :32:25.Much better than average. I wonder if Fowler will have learned
:32:26. > :32:30.from both Rahm and McIlroy? Well, he should have done if he is coming
:32:31. > :32:35.down from there. You have got to aim it down the left side and hope
:32:36. > :32:42.speed's going to go just about right. Speed is important too. If he
:32:43. > :32:53.hits it too hard down the left, it will pass on the left. According to
:32:54. > :32:55.the caption. He is kind to his mother as well. Down the left. Now,
:32:56. > :33:12.down the left! I told him. Go straight! I guess
:33:13. > :33:20.that is just unholeable. It is ridiculous. What can you do? Kisner
:33:21. > :33:21.at the 17th. The treacherous par-3. That is going to be all right I
:33:22. > :33:46.think. Ooh, just got over the water! The natives are getting a bit noisy!
:33:47. > :33:57.Now here is Points. He is now 3-under. He is having an
:33:58. > :34:04.extraordinary day out. He has holed a good putt on pretty well every
:34:05. > :34:13.green so far. Well that was a good save there from Rory. 72 shots.
:34:14. > :34:19.Certainly wasted four. Tomorrow's another day. As you said, Peter,
:34:20. > :34:24.still very much in it. We know he has a 65 in there, no bother at all.
:34:25. > :34:33.Rahm, he also has let a few slip away.
:34:34. > :35:07.Now Fowler to finish off hopefully. He has played well apart from that
:35:08. > :35:13.stupid 7 at 9. But there we are. 69 with that dirty big 7 at the 5th.
:35:14. > :35:48.Good play. Oh that surely not, no. What a shot
:35:49. > :36:03.from Smith. Absolute cracker. Well Rory making his way up to the club
:36:04. > :36:14.house, the scoring tent. Everyone wanting souvenirs, autographs. Where
:36:15. > :36:19.was it he won? Hamburg. Yes, the week after the British. Just
:36:20. > :36:27.discussing Jordan Smith there I think. He won the week after the
:36:28. > :36:35.British, who we just saw hit a magnificent wood into 15. Beat Alex
:36:36. > :36:37.Levy in a play-off there. Why they would be talking about him, I don't
:36:38. > :36:45.know. Good tee shot on to this difficult
:36:46. > :36:53.par-3. That was a delicate putt. Didn't
:36:54. > :37:11.want a lot more. This is orthan Smith for an eagle.
:37:12. > :37:15.No we saw him play up the green. So that is only a par I think. No, yes,
:37:16. > :37:32.it was a par. Jordan Smith moves on to the
:37:33. > :37:39.leaderboard almost at minus one. 5th birdie of the day. Brilliant effort
:37:40. > :37:49.to get to minus 1. Olesen still leads. This looks like Steve
:37:50. > :37:50.Stricker. Can it be? He is like old father Thames, he just keeps rolling
:37:51. > :37:56.along. He is 4-over though today. Oh,
:37:57. > :38:24.needed a hop! Long attempt for birdie. Oh, great
:38:25. > :38:36.attempt. Par for him. He will stay plus 3. He will be glad of a couple
:38:37. > :38:42.of pars and just get into the house. It's not been his day at all. Three
:38:43. > :38:47.over after 4. He has kept it going well after the first four holes.
:38:48. > :38:58.This looks a very juicy lie, doesn't it? Brian Harman at the 8th. They're
:38:59. > :39:00.suggesting this is for a birdie. If that goes in, it will be in the
:39:01. > :39:05.Guinness Book of Records! For birdie. That was an optimistic
:39:06. > :39:20.caption. I think so! We are getting down to the hard core
:39:21. > :39:38.of scoring now. There was so many nice things said
:39:39. > :39:45.and written about this course before we started, I think the alterations,
:39:46. > :39:49.although the actual physical alterations haven't been so bad so
:39:50. > :39:54.far as the holes are concerned, the change of the grass on the greens
:39:55. > :40:00.has caused a tremendous amount of problems.
:40:01. > :40:14.Wang won a couple of events on the European Tour. Still only 21 or 22.
:40:15. > :40:32.Him and Tang and Wang, three of them who...
:40:33. > :40:43.That looks hard work that swing. It is very upright. Now DA. You have
:40:44. > :40:49.holed some putts on this nine. No, it's swinging across. You can see
:40:50. > :40:54.the hole starting to just disintegrate a bit on the the down
:40:55. > :41:05.grain side. It is wearing away, yeah.
:41:06. > :41:08.Beautifulfully played by Harman. Presumably he will get out of that
:41:09. > :41:23.with a par. And a good escape. Cloud on the top of the leaderboard
:41:24. > :41:27.- one ahead of tree! There we go. I think it's the time delay. It's
:41:28. > :41:45.getting to you, is it? Yes, jet lag! It looks quite narrow up there with
:41:46. > :41:49.that stream up the middle of the fairway. I don't think he likes
:41:50. > :42:09.that. That is careering out to the right I fancy.
:42:10. > :42:26.DA. Nobody know what is DA stands for! Softly. Come to me! The bunker?
:42:27. > :42:42.No. He has had a charmed life. Charmed life today. Here is your
:42:43. > :42:50.Ryan Moore. Looks good, doesn't it? Oh, come on then.
:42:51. > :43:00.Beauty from Moore. Currently 1-under.
:43:01. > :43:09.Justin Rose, bit of a struggle for Justin today, but here he is on the
:43:10. > :43:12.final hole putting for a birdie. He might have done it. Oh, it went the
:43:13. > :43:33.other way. That putt's impossible. Calm descends on the lakes here at
:43:34. > :43:41.Quail Hollow. The wind almost completely gone now. There is a very
:43:42. > :43:47.nice hospitality pavilion they put up there, they almost look like
:43:48. > :43:52.permanent residences, but they're nestled in the trees, various
:43:53. > :44:01.companies bringing their clients, giving them a day out.
:44:02. > :44:10.Oh, no, no, what a poor finish for Justin Rose. That is a round of 76.
:44:11. > :44:32.5-over on the back 9. It's one of those days. One of those
:44:33. > :44:35.days. You see the row of hospitality pavilions. Cure the housing
:44:36. > :44:53.shortage. This is a little tickler. We have seen people trying to be too
:44:54. > :44:59.fancy tr here. Not this time though. Made it look very easy Mr Blixt.
:45:00. > :45:22.When it works, it looks oh so simple.
:45:23. > :45:29.Oh, that plunged into the back of that. I don't think we get many
:45:30. > :45:33.balls plugging in the bunker, but it certainly looked as if it might.
:45:34. > :45:44.This is Vegas. Birdie putt at the 16th. But he is
:45:45. > :46:04.6-over. The grain there ripping into that
:46:05. > :46:08.ball. At the end of the day, the grass has grown as much as it is
:46:09. > :46:10.going to grow in one day. Temperature in the mid 80s. Really
:46:11. > :46:30.having an effect now. Started off badly, then he has kept
:46:31. > :47:05.his score going very well. Second shot at 8 for Points. And on
:47:06. > :47:16.the top level, but... A good 20 feet for his birdie.
:47:17. > :47:33.The unmistakable shape of Dechambeau at the 16th. Good. Good. Very good!
:47:34. > :47:37.Ooh! That's the way to do it! I think that putter Tees same length
:47:38. > :47:43.as all his irons as well. I think it is.
:47:44. > :47:55.Looking down the 18th. Kisner, I think he is just short. I don't
:47:56. > :48:06.think it made it. This is going to be a long shot out
:48:07. > :48:08.of the clingy Bermuda. He has got at least a 5-iron there. That's got to
:48:09. > :48:28.go. And it did. What a shot! Hadwin at the 8th. A hole and a half
:48:29. > :48:41.to go. It just rolls off into an awkward
:48:42. > :48:59.spot. Scotsman, Martin laird. Always
:49:00. > :49:07.played the Tour over here. With some success too. Today's not his day
:49:08. > :49:12.though. And we have said that a few times today. Yes the course has been
:49:13. > :49:29.the winner today. Definitely. Kevin Na. 5-over.
:49:30. > :49:37.Oh! Watching it in the air, dead on line, you're so happy and then,
:49:38. > :49:55.boom, comes up short! Ross Fisher who had such a good
:49:56. > :50:11.start in his golfing career, courtesy of the Wentworth Club. Oh,
:50:12. > :50:28.look at that go! Dear me! It really is a struggle.
:50:29. > :50:35.It is amazing the lack of judgment of pace we have seen as well as
:50:36. > :50:41.line. But they're big misjudgments, I mean seven or eight feet past.
:50:42. > :50:47.Chez Reavie for a birdie. Well done. Back to just one over. Par in for
:50:48. > :51:05.72. For birdie, Ryan Moore, cannot
:51:06. > :51:10.possibly move that much. Just a tweaker from off the green for
:51:11. > :51:11.Points. He has not hit it. Frightened of the pace down the
:51:12. > :51:28.hill. But that's OK. Another hole. STUDIO: It has been the lead for
:51:29. > :51:35.most of the day, Olesen 4-under. A group 3-under. Let's have a look
:51:36. > :51:44.back at their rounds earlier on today. The 27-year-old Dane
:51:45. > :51:48.nicknamed Thunder Bear. This was him on the par-4 8th for a birdie. That
:51:49. > :51:54.would take him to 2-under par. He was 33 on the way out. Par golf
:51:55. > :52:05.after the turn. But a birdie chance here on the par-4 14th. He would
:52:06. > :52:10.move to 3-under. To the next hole, the par-5 15th. This is his third
:52:11. > :52:14.shot A tricky one over the bunker from the fluffy stuff. Nice and
:52:15. > :52:21.high. Stopped it beautifully on the green. That would be good enough for
:52:22. > :52:29.back-to-back birdies. That would put him to 4-under par. 67 and club
:52:30. > :52:34.house leader. Grayson Murray at the par-3 13th. A birdie for him. He had
:52:35. > :52:39.a couple of drop shots. He is now 1-under par for his round. This is
:52:40. > :52:45.him again on the par-3 17th. Again a birdie putt on a par-3 and again the
:52:46. > :52:53.same outcome. A par on the last and he would sign for 3-under par. Gary
:52:54. > :53:00.Woodlands now. The par-4 second. The 33-year-old. A birdie at the 2nd. A
:53:01. > :53:12.nice start for him. He moved to 1-under par. The par-3 6th. This
:53:13. > :53:23.left him for birdie. It would go 2-under par. Moving along nicely.
:53:24. > :53:30.The 15th, the par-5. That third shot would give him another birdie
:53:31. > :53:36.opportunity. Which he would take to go to 4-under par. He would drop a
:53:37. > :53:42.shot on the 16th. But Gary Woodland would sign for a 68 and a share of
:53:43. > :53:52.second place. Brooks Koepka on the 13th. This is his fourth hole of the
:53:53. > :54:02.day. A birdie to go 1-under. This is him on the par-4 3rd. Lovely stuff
:54:03. > :54:08.from cope California another birdie -- lovely stuff from Koepka. He
:54:09. > :54:21.birdied the fifth. Koepka slotted that in. 1-under par
:54:22. > :54:32.and he followed that with another two birdies and finishing 3-under.
:54:33. > :54:39.Chris Stroud, the 35-year-old Texan, who only qualified on Sunday. He was
:54:40. > :54:45.bogey-free. This was a birdie on the 18th to fin wish 3-under par. Some
:54:46. > :54:55.nice stuff from the earlier leaders. Olesen in front and after his round
:54:56. > :55:03.he spoke to Rishi. Great start to thissier's PGA -- this year's PGA.
:55:04. > :55:08.How did you feel? It felt good, the first 15 holes I played well. Hit my
:55:09. > :55:11.driver well and got myself in some good positions. That was the key and
:55:12. > :55:18.obviously it was a really nice way to finish with that long putt on 18.
:55:19. > :55:21.You said it is a lovely course and the finishing holes are tough. When
:55:22. > :55:27.you think about a course like that, does it mean it suits your game and
:55:28. > :55:32.set up? Yes I was excited to get here. Played it two or three years
:55:33. > :55:35.ago this tournament and it is a lot different and there was a lot holes
:55:36. > :55:40.I couldn't remember. But I knew it would be a good course and it is.
:55:41. > :55:47.The greens have changed a lot. The speed. The grain on them, it is very
:55:48. > :55:51.tricky. If you hit a few too safe shots you leave yourself with tricky
:55:52. > :56:00.putts. It is very challenging, but it is good fun. Well played. Well
:56:01. > :56:05.done. So he is the leader and Olesen 4-under. Rory McIlroy was the
:56:06. > :56:11.favourite coming into this and he is 5 off the lead and finished one over
:56:12. > :56:19.par. He had a quick chat with Rishi. Give us your thoughts on day one?
:56:20. > :56:23.Yes, if someone told me I would shoot one over par, I probably
:56:24. > :56:29.wouldn't take it. But the course played tricky. It would have been
:56:30. > :56:33.nice to shoot under par. But you know I played a three hole stretch
:56:34. > :56:37.and three over and that really, that is the only thing that derailed my
:56:38. > :56:43.round. I played that and you're expecting to play that in 2-under
:56:44. > :56:47.par and play it in even or 1-under and the score card looks different.
:56:48. > :56:54.I have a chance to get the shots back and get an Arley night and get
:56:55. > :57:01.back at it. Thank you for your time. Ken, a bit of an up and down round
:57:02. > :57:11.from Rory McIlroy. He had that spell on the back 9, the bogey and the
:57:12. > :57:17.double-bogey. He holed two fantastic putts at 11 and 12. I thought he was
:57:18. > :57:20.building to a good finish. But it was his tee shot at the 14th that
:57:21. > :57:24.found the water. On a hole where you're looking for a 3. You have got
:57:25. > :57:28.to decide if you're going to attack, if you get it out with the driver
:57:29. > :57:36.and he paid the penalty. That was a shame. But as he said, 72 was not
:57:37. > :57:40.bad today. Afternoon players had it tougher and didn't seem to home as
:57:41. > :57:46.many long putts. I think the wind was up. 72, he would accept it. A
:57:47. > :57:52.lot of players have been talking about the speed of the greens. It
:57:53. > :57:58.had been very wet at the start of week and now it is very dry and
:57:59. > :58:05.they're fast. They were Superfast. They have this sub air that stucks
:58:06. > :58:14.the moisture out. Anything above the hole, or if you played a percentage
:58:15. > :58:19.shot a safe shot, you were always in three-putt country. They must have
:58:20. > :58:25.been Augusta fast today. Now let's look at the leaderboard. There has
:58:26. > :58:29.been a bit of movement. Kevin Kisner with a birdie at 17 has moved to
:58:30. > :58:41.4-under, joint leader. We will be back tomorrow. With the
:58:42. > :58:47.day 2. Everything from day 2 live from Quail Hollow from 6 o'clock on
:58:48. > :58:54.red button and the web-site and the iPlayer and on BBC Two from 5 past
:58:55. > :59:00.11. You can, and we will be back on Saturday as well. Round 3 Saturday.
:59:01. > :59:08.And BBC2 at half past 10. And of course on Sunday for all the final
:59:09. > :59:10.day's drama. You can follow featured groups tomorrow from 1.30 on the
:59:11. > :59:20.web-site. It is a course that has proved the
:59:21. > :59:25.trickiest one to conquer. What will tomorrow bring? We have two players
:59:26. > :59:27.in the club house in the lead. See you tomorrow to fine out what
:59:28. > :59:30.happens.
