So nearly off back down the fairway! That leads to an inevitable bogey. Also dropping a shot: Jon Rahm on 1. His approach disappears down a swale to the right of the green, and he can\u2019t get his ball back up with his first chip. Rory also bogeys, the result of that errant drive and skulled wedge, and for a course supposedly there for the taking, Aronimink sure is baring its teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It Can Happen To The Best Of Them dept.<\/strong> Rory McIlroy\u2019s ball, having hit a tree down the right of 1, comes straight down and disappears into thick rough. He lashes at it with great force, but the ball only squirts out of the cabbage, a topper that dribbles 100 yards down the fairway. We\u2019ve all done it, Rory on fewer occasions than most. But here he is. So much for his pre-tournament claim that \u201cstrategy off the tee is pretty non-existent\u201d, huh. And there\u2019s no blaming a blister on his pinky toe for that one.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/may\/14\/us-pga-championship-day-one-live\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufe0f Updates from the first round at Aronimink Golf Club\ufe0f Official live leaderboard | Follow us on Bluesky | Mail Scott Bryson\u2019s touch is all over the shop.
