00:00How favorable won't DeChambeau find the course today at Quilholla?

00:05Bryson's going to love this setup today because he's a great putter,

00:08and the crustier the greens get, that's going to give him an advantage

00:11and allow him to separate.

00:13Appointment viewing, boys, at 1.47 p.m. this afternoon,

00:16you've got to have Bryson, Victor, and Gary Woodland.

00:19And that whole afternoon wave, it's loaded.

00:21It starts with JT and Collin right around 1.15,

00:24and group after group right in that little section,

00:26you're going to have some awesome, awesome golf to watch,

00:30and Bryson is going to be the star.

00:32You can see it already how Rory's distancing himself from even Scotty

00:35and Xander off the tee and the advantage that he has.

00:39And for Bryson, it's going to be the same exact thing.

00:42These guys hit mid-irons where the other guys are hitting long irons into greens.

00:46It's just such an advantage.

00:47And if you can roll the rock, which is going to be the true test for four days,

00:51Bryson's got to be licking his chops right now

00:53because the golf course is soft where he's going to land,

00:56and the greens are pure,

00:57and those are the two things he needs in order to differentiate himself

01:00from this field.

01:02Now, real quick, one of the tee times this morning that I thought

01:05was really interesting was Captain Keegan Bradley was paired with Matt McNeely

01:09and Andrew Novak,

01:11two guys that would be rookie selections for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

01:15And you know the PGA of America, they run the U.S. team.

01:18Putting that pairing together, that was no coincidence.

01:21Now, all of a sudden, the first tee time of the day,

01:23the guy that led off the tournament was Luke Donald, the European captain.

01:27Keegan now, right?

01:29He's out there with those two guys.

01:30He's supposed to be watching them.

01:32Keegan's leading the tournament alongside Luke Donald.

01:34You have both active Ryder Cup captains out there leading the golf tournament right now.

01:39It's a really cool thing for the PGA of America.

01:42Only five times in history has an active Ryder Cup captain shot a round in the 60s

01:48at the PGA Championship, and both guys have a chance to do it today.
