Key Questions for Round 2
Can Tiger Rebound?
As the biggest star in the sport and No. 1 ranked player in the world all eyes are once again on Woods at the PGA Championship. What we saw on Day 1 was an outing that said he will once again fall short at a major.
Starting on the back nine, he registered two birdies and appeared to be ready to post a solid score. However, trouble on the front nine awaited as he couldn't get ahead with his shots off the tee. He carded a bogey and a double to wind up at one-over for the day.
Not all hope is lost quite yet, though.
As PGA Tour Media pointed out, Woods shot one-over in each of his last two victories at a major championship.
Woods' hopes aren't dead yet, but another day of struggling on Friday would certainly spell doom for him yet again.
Is Jim Furyk for Real?
As Jason Sobel of the Golf Channel joked on Twitter, it's been over a decade since Furyk won a major so it's about time for him to lead one again.
Furyk has been relatively quiet on the majors scene since winning the 2003 U.S. Open. He has just two top-10 finishes at majors in the last five years (T-10 at the 2009 Masters and T-4 at the 2012 U.S. Open).
Despite missing the cut at both the U.S. and the British Open tournaments this year, he certainly looked like a contender Thursday.
With that being said, there's still plenty of golf to be played. The pressure will be on for him to repeat his performance on Day 2.
Is Rory McIlroy Back?
Aside from Woods, no one attracts the spotlight quite like Rory McIlroy.
This year, the 24-year-old has made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Since finishing T-25 at this year's Masters tournament, he has finished T-41 at the U.S. Open and missed the cut at the British Open. However, the year isn't over for McIlroy, and the PGA Championship offers him one last shot at redemption.
After all, McIlroy has always performed a little bit better at the PGA than the other majors, as this ESPN Stats & Info tweet illustrates.
McIlroy's first round has to be encouraging. He opened up by scoring birdie on three of his first four holes before settling into a bit more of an erratic pattern with four bogeys and two birdies through the last 14 holes.
That may not speak well to his consistency, but it shows he's capable of putting up some great rounds if he puts everything together.
