It feels like you can't have a big enough lead around this course as you could still trip up, couple of bad holes and you could easily drop 4 shots.

The rough looks very thick and juicy - more like US Open
Course going to dry and firm up quickly

The rough has saved a few people as well mind

I muted the TV during the adverts and left it, so much better!

Good discussion between the commentary team about PL!

Hmm 
Why we can already rule out 137 players at the PGA Championship
We've crunched the numbers – and, with just one round gone, it's already looking like curtains for 88% of the field at the PGA Championship. Including some huge names...

Rory was 7 back after round 1 at The Masters.
The calibre of player that's heading up the leaderboard this weekend is highly likely to fall away at some point. I'd say any player with decent pedigree that's 2 over or less will be backing themselves to have a run at the top places.

Course conditions will change today
But the people at the top were the ones that found the short stuff
For anyone who wants to shoot up the leader board needs to drive it better
Think anyone at 4 over is done and unless a dramatic low round prob rhe 3 overs as well

Rory has a beautiful swing, the ball is teed up nicely, guaranteed perfect lie. How is it anything other than mental?

Because sometimes it’s just physical where the swing it just not fluid - he wasn’t swinging that well from the tee
Because golf is just very hard and you only need to be 2% off in your swing at that level and you do what happened to him yesterday. There is a reason mfrs use robots to test clubs and balls, they are the only ones who can put a truly repetitive swing on things.

It looks like that. But given the speed everything is moving at, the effect of millimeters variation and the distances involved, the simple physics of golf should put everyone off before they start!

I think a top golf coach, Rory's coach and probably Rory himself could pick up technical faults in his swing yesterday, and then try and work on correcting those at the range.
Yes, it is a beautiful swing, and he'll have nowhere near as many faults as your average golfer. Heck, if I could hit the ball 350 yards long, and miss the fairway 30 yards to the left, I'd be bouncing towards my ball like a happy McIlroy. I'd be ecstatic. But, at the club head speed he generates, a slight fault could have big consequences. If his driver head speed was 90mph, he'd probably be hitting the centre of the fairway every time, no problem.

Yeah I’d agree there’s some names that just aren’t big enough and haven’t been playing well enough at the top of that leaderboard to be sustainable under that pressure
It’ll be Scottie most likely
Bryson driving is absolutely ludicrous to be that accurate and that longSwango1980

I didn't actually watch a lot of the first round. Was playing golf myself, and the leaderboard when I got home was pretty underwhelming to be honest (in my opinion).
I did hear a fair bit of chat about mud balls yesterday though, and a bit on the BBC about it. Were mudballs generally much of an issue yesterday, or just the odd isolated incident? All the talk beforehand was about the big hitters should do well, then when I saw the leaderboard it is almost like the reverse was true. If mudballs were generally an issue, would this impact the bigger hitters more than the shorter ones, players that put more spin on ball rather than less, etc?

Personally I think they just need to suck it up.
