The wait is finally over. On Thursday, after 13 months major championship golf made its return. It’s a major unlike any we have ever seen, complete with COVID-19 testing, zero fans and a snapped driver from Bryson Dechambeau.
Jason Day, the former world No. 1, finished the day atop the leaderboard with Brendon Todd at TPC Harding Park. The 2015 PGA champion was nearly perfect, putting together a bogey-free round of 65 to finish the day at 5 under par.
Todd, a 35-year old who has already won twice this season, maneuvered his way through much tougher conditions in the afternoon, reeling off seven birdies as part of his 65.
