Svårspelade greener utmanar spelarna i 2026 års PGA Championship

2026 års PGA Championship på Aronimink Golf Club sätter golfarna på prov med fasta, sluttande greener och krävande flaggplaceringar som premierar tålamod framför kraft.

Xander Schauffele inledde med en runda på 68 slag, två under par, men hade svårt att minnas några enskilda slag från rundan. Han beskrev en avgörande långputt från nästan 20 meter som stannade bara halvmetern från hål på det åttonde hålet, vilket räddade par i motvinden. Han kallade det ett viktigt ögonblick för egen del, trots att det kanske inte var ett slag som hamnade i höjdpunkterna.
