Good shots were rewarded, bad ones punished and the Ocean Course finished Round 1 of the PGA Championship looking like anything but a pushover. Corey Conners gambled the breezes off the Atlantic would track the practice rounds winds and it paid off. He posted 67 on a day when the field averaged 75 and some pre-tournament picks landed on that number or worse: Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas (75), Dustin Johnson (76) and Daniel Berger (78). “I’m not like a wit’s end or anything … but this golf course takes it out of you,” said Bryson DeChambeau, who shot 73.
