Watch: Rory McIlroy highlights from Round 1 of the PGA Championship

There was a tweet on Wednesday which showed Rory McIlroy holding his daughter, Poppy, as they looked at a mural of McIlroy winning the 2014 PGA Championship.

"That's when Daddy was good," the tweet quoted McIlroy as saying to his 20-month-old.

Hopefully, Poppy was watching Daddy on Thursday at Southern Hills. And even if she might not remember it, there will be plenty of video proof that McIlroy was plenty good in Round 1 of the 104th PGA.

Beginning on the par-4 10th, and playing alongside Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth in one of the most highly anticipated opening groups in major history, McIlroy made four consecutive birdies on his outward half.
