American Ryan Moore leads the 92nd US PGA Championship early on day 1 at Whistling Straits as the early pace setters fade away in Wisconsin.

After a 3 hour fog delay, the morning starters began to rack up birdies and eagles on what seemed a perfect scoring day with low scores expected. However the course bit back into the afternoon and many players began to drop shots. Early leaders like Martin Kaymer and Tiger Woods have fallen back, and big names like Sergio Garcia and Retief Goosen are in danger of playing themselves out of the tournament on the first day.

With many players yet to progress far in their rounds on the increasingly difficult course, players like the clubhouse leader Bubba Watson at -4, Jason Day at -3 and Jim Furyk at -2 will know they will be around the top of the leaderboard come the end of round 1.

So who do you guys think will win?
 
You need a top class links player. To be honest I wouldnt rule out any of the Irish lads. McIlroy , McDowell and even Clarke at the British open they showed how good they were on a hard links course.
My wild card Harrington he is starting to show a bit of form in the last 2 weeks in the Irish Open he came 2nd and he looked like he had that look in his eye. Then last week in the US he had a decent weekend finishing joint 9th I think its good form from a former USPGA champion. 1 of the best scramblers in the game his shot making around the greens in amazing in any rough he seems to have the ability to limit his looses.
 
My bets Harrington each way @ 18/1 , Clarke each way @ 125/1 , Lowry each way 200/1 and Tiger Woods to win @ 16/1. Woods will show the world that he is back here and lift the PGA on Sunday.
 
Bets the week are:

P Casey - 50/1
A Quiros - 125/1
Miguel Angel Jimenez - 150/1
C Villegas - 80/1

Fingers crossed :@)
 
I have KJ Choi, Hunter Mahan, Anthony Kim, Lucas Glover and Dustin Johnson e/w!

No doubt they'll all do shit as per!!! I've finally managed to give up my bets on Sergio and Villegas though which i'm happy about who always seem to finish last!
 
Done Steve Stricker £10 E/W at 25/1, playing well at the moment and knows the course well. Also done Chris Wood for a bit of fun £3 E/W at 150/1.
