US PGA Championship: Tiger Woods hits lowest opening round in major since 2012

Tiger Woods shot his lowest opening round in a major since 2012 with a two-under-par 68 at the US PGA Championship in San Francisco.

The 15-time major winner played alongside Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, who finished level par at the year’s first major at TPC Harding Park.

England’s Justin Rose and Brooks Koepka, going for a third straight US PGA win, both carded four-under 66s.

They sit one behind joint leaders Jason Day and Brendon Todd.

Tom Lewis is two shots off the lead, with fellow Englishman Paul Casey – who made a double-bogey six on the 18th – and Ireland’s Open winner Shane Lowry a shot further back. (BBC)
