Before talking about this topic, I would like to introduce one golf set on sale to you:
Ping i15 Driverscotty cameron newport 2
Here are some details of Ping i15 Driver:
The fade-biased design of the PING i15 Driver meets the needs of golfers who place a high priority on working their tee shots. The traditional pear -shaped 460cc titanium head is engineered with a bulge crown design and deeper face to optimize energy transfer for greater ball speed and the solid feel preferred by better golfers. Internal weighting reduces spin and the hosel is positioned slightly back from the face to help promote tour-preferred trajectories and control. Its titanium carbon finish provides a sleek and optically pleasing appearance.
At the end of the opening day at the PGA Championship, he wasn't near the names of Bubba Watson and Francesco Molinari, who each opened with a 4-under 68.
Woods, who made three birdies inside 12 feet on the opening four holes, had to birdie his final hole just to break par, a 1-under 71. That used to be conceived as an ordinary start in a major. "Today, my goal was to shoot something under par. " Woods said.
He joined 21 others among the 78 early starters who completed the first round, which was postponed by over three hours due to fog. Whether he can back that up is still undecided. It was the first time in eight rounds Woods had broken par.
"I've played too good so as not to shoot under par," Woods said. "It would've been very frustrating to wind up even par as well as I played today. To make that putt - to shoot under par - just feels like that's what I should have shot the way I played today. And that's a good feeling."
The fog delay meant none of the late starters could finish the opening round.
Els, desperate to know if another year doesn't end without a major, played bogey-free through 14 holes and was at 4 under, making a 7-foot par save on the 14th shortly before the horn sounded. Also at 4 under were Nick Watney and Matt Kuchar, courtesy of eagles - Kuchar on the 13th early in his round by holing from the fairway, Watney on the par-5 11th, his last hole of the day.
Phil Mickelson, closer than ever to going to No 1 in the world, ended a wild day at 1 under. He knocked it close for a couple of birdies, and spent the rest of the time in the bunkers and rough as he scrambled to save par. He finished on a strong note with back-to-back birdies, the last one a wedge that stopped 2 feet away on the 11th.
In a summer of majors at Pebble Beach and St. Andrews, it only figures that a fog delay of just over three hours would be in Wisconsin.
"I had never gotten up at 5:30 for a 12 o'clock tee time," said Charles Howell, who shot a 69.
The group at 69 also included Ryan Moore, the only player among the early starters to reach 5 under until dropping two shots over his last three holes into the wind. Jason Day of Australia bogeyed his last hole for a 69.
With so much rain on Wednesday and in the week before the PGA, the course that looks like a links played more like a PGA Tour course with soft conditions.
