PGA Championship: DUSTIN Johnson took advantage of favorable morning conditions to
take an early lead at the U.S. PGA Championship Thursday while Tiger
Dustin Johnson Woods’ frustrations audibly got the better of him as he was caught
leads, Tiger Woods dropping the F-bomb by television microphones.
F-bombs The 14-time major winner uttered his first four letter expletive after a
wayward tee-shot on the 16th hole at the Whistling Straits course near
ARUBA TRAVELLER - Saturday, August 15 2015 Kohler, Wisconsin.
He then let rip with another after missing a putt a short time later, asking
himself aloud, “What the f*** is wrong with you?”
Woods had started calmly, making par at the opening hole -- the first
time he has achieved that feat at any major this year.
But the bogeys soon began to appear, as did frustration with his putter.
“I hit it good today,” he later told reporters. “I just had no feel at all for the
speed (of the greens). It was awful.”

Johnson goes clear
Woods ended the day nine shots behind Johnson who carded a six-under-
par 66 before the wind picked up in the afternoon.
The South Carolina native led David Lingmerth by one shot after the
Swede missed an easy par putt with two holes remaining to fluff any
chance of sharing the overnight lead.
Johnson has started strongly in all majors in 2015 before fading towards
the end, but he feels the course could be play to his strengths.
“It’s a golf course I like and I played well here (at the U.S. PGA
Championship) in 2010,” Johnson told reporters upon reaching the
clubhouse. “I was excited to come back and play and get off to a good
start.”
A chasing pack including Matt Kucher, J.B. Holmes and Jason Day were
two shots off the lead at four under par. Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn, who at
one point shared an early lead with Johnson, and England’s Justin Rose
were part of another group a shot further back on three under.
After so many close calls in major tournaments, however, Johnson
refused to get carried away with his prospects at such an early stage.
“Sunday is the day you base your week on,” he said. “I’ve played very
well on Sundays in major championships so I can get it done. My time
will come.”
