We’ll put day one of the PGA Championship down as frustrating.

Outright selections generally played well without producing fireworks – hopefully, both Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg can build on solid platforms today. The rest have work to do and it was galling to see Harris English putt so poorly given that he usually putts so well. Cam Young was -2 to the turn and shot +2 while Kurt Kitayama was among the best ball-strikers but shot the same score.

Even the best result came with a sting in the tail: 80/1 top rest of the world pick Jhonattan Vegas, also selected for his three-ball, leads after round one. Not only did that mean missing a massive winner in that market, but he formed part of a 5/1 double with Tom McKibbin, who teed off on 18 with a two-shot lead but could only dead-heat because his playing partner made a rare birdie.

Majors don’t come along often but the 10 since Cam Smith’s Open win have been frustrating, this one in new ways. Perhaps though Vegas will hang around and land that 80/1 winner and we can forget about missing a first-round leader at twice the price.
