A bogey-double in the middle of the second nine spoiled his card, with Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri scoring 73 in three overs after the first round of the PGA Championship in Southern Hills to put him in 78th place.

Rory McIlroy led the field with a 5-under 65, his lowest opening-round score in a major championship since the 2011 US Open, which he won. They were followed by Will Zalatoris and Tom Hoge, who scored 66-66.
World No. 1 and FedExCup leader Scotty Schaeffler started with 1 over 71, while 15-time Majors winner, Tiger Woods, won in apparent pain as he turned 74 and looked in danger of missing the cut in Southern Hills , where he won the PGA Championship in 2007.
Lahiri bogeyed to start the day on the 10th and made amends with a birdie on the 11th. Ten pars followed and he was still on par, though he missed seven feet and the other three under leases within 10-11 feet. Still it wasn’t easy to score, so the pars were some consolation.
Then came two holes, the fourth and fifth, which were his 13th and 14th. On the rough off the tee to the right, he runs into the greenside bunker with a second shot. Yet he came out well leaving himself just over five feet for par. He lost.
The very next day, Par-5 14th, he went from the fairway bunker to the right fairway, only to reach a greenside bunker with his third shot. He messed up the bunker shot and he was on edge at five.
Two putts from there meant a seven, increasing their card to 3 overs, but no further damage.
In a week where Lahiri welcomed the arrival of her second child and enjoyed a nine-hole practice round with Woods on Wednesday, Lahiri’s 73 runs could easily have been a par or at worst a 1-over. This left him doing some work to be cut halfway through his first major debut in nearly three years.
Lahiri was eight shots behind leader McIlroy (65), who finished eight-under in the final at the Masters, where he finished second.
