Graeme storms into lead at 2007 U.S.PGA Championship at Southern Hills

Posted by admin under Latest Golf News, Mens Pro Golf, The Four Majors

Englishman Graeme Storm has taken the early lead at Southern Hills, heading the field at the USPGA Championship after posting a five-under 65, while Australians Geoff Ogilvy and John Senden are just four strokes off the pace.

As the temperature hovered around 37 degrees celsius, American John Daly made the early running in the hot conditions, coming into the clubhouse after taking the lead through a three-under 67.

But, as the afternoon wore on, Daly was overtaken by England’s Storm, who produced four birdies on the back nine to finish on 65.

Storm is now two strokes ahead of Daly and three ahead of Americans Arron Oberholser and Woody Austin.

Ogilvy and Senden, meanwhile, are part of a large group of players on one-under after day one of the year’s final major tournament.

Europeans Sergio Garcia (70) , Justin Rose (70) and Open Champion Padraig Harrington(69) are all in close contention at the end of round one
