    Tiger Woods fired a 1-over par 72 during the opening round of the PGA Championship. The 15-time major champion faltered late. He was 1-under heading into his final two holes before a pair of three-putts led to bogeys that pushed him into plus territory.

      Talk of Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan not running in the Preakness raised questions about the second leg of horse racing's Triple Crown, which has in recent years fallen on hard times. The gimme of horses winning or even running in the Derby going to Baltimore is no longer the case. That has led to debate over whether the race should be moved back a week or more and what can be done to restore the prestige the Preakness had for nearly 150 years. The Belmont is not facing those questions this year or next given the novelty of moving to Saratoga for 2024 and '25.

      Xander Schauffele has set the PGA Championship record with a 62. He also ties a major championship record that he shared last year in the U.S. Open. Schauffele took advantage of rain-softened conditions at Valhalla. And he's been playing some good golf. Schauffele was runner-up last week in the Wells Fargo Championship. Schauffele played the back nine in 31. He ran off three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the front nine to get in range of the record. The previous mark at the PGA was a 63. One of those was Jose Maria Olazabal at Valhalla 10 years ago.
