McIlroy and Spieth began with pars.<\/p>\n<p>A huge crowd lined the holes where Woods and his partners played.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Given the crowds that will be out there, the weekend might actually feel a little like a breather,&#8221; Spieth said.<\/p>\n<p>Woods said earlier he is stronger than when he played the Masters, but walking the course with rods and pins holding his right leg together remains difficult.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s better than the last time I played,&#8221; Woods said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been working hard. I have days where it&#8217;s tough and other days where we can push through it. But we keep working at it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Woods, 46, is chasing an 83rd career US PGA Tour title to break the all-time record he shares with Sam Snead.<\/p>\n<p>He also seeks a fifth career Wanamaker Trophy to match the PGA Championship win mark shared by Walter Hagen and Jack Nicklaus.<\/p>\n<p>Three-time major winner Spieth, coming off a US PGA Heritage victory last month and a runner-up finish last week in Dallas, would complete a career Grand Slam with a victory.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old American would join Woods, Nicklaus, Gary Player, Gene Sarazen and Ben Hogan with a triumph at all four majors if he wins.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Having won the other three, it&#8217;s an elephant in the room for me,&#8221; said Spieth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You feel like you kind of &#8216;accomplished golf&#8217; when you win a career Grand Slam, I guess.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Four-time major winner McIlroy seeks his first major victory since the 2014 PGA after a runner-up finish at the Masters in his own bid for a career Slam.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel good about my game,&#8221; McIlroy said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve done some good work. I&#8217;ve led greens in regulation the last two tournaments I&#8217;ve played.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You hit greens here, you&#8217;re going to give yourself birdie chances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Top three start late &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>The world&#8217;s three highest-ranked players, reigning major champions all, were paired together for an afternoon start.<\/p>\n<p>Top-ranked Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, a winner in four of his past eight starts, joins world number two Jon Rahm, the 2021 US Open winner from Spain, and third-ranked Collin Morikawa, last year&#8217;s British Open champion, at 1:36 p.m. off the first tee.<\/p>\n<p>The pairing would typically grab the spotlight, but Scheffler takes it in his stride.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tiger&#8217;s here so nobody really remembers that I&#8217;m here, so it&#8217;s all good,&#8221; Scheffler said.<\/p>\n<p>Oddsmakers expect big things from them, ranking them among the most fancied for the title.<\/p>\n<p>Rahm warns that Southern Hills will offer swirling winds and tee boxes that can adjust hole lengths to create a formidable challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t hide. You have to do everything well,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They can truly make it as difficult as they want.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tulsa (United States) (AFP), May 19 &#8211; Tiger Woods birdied the par-4 10th hole to begin Thursday&#8217;s opening round of the 104th PGA Championship as he continues his amazing comeback from severe leg injuries.
