And the world No 278 repeatedly swore as he showed his frustration on the greens as he made five bogeys.

Dustin Johnson, back at the scene of the proverbial crime, admits that he has not brushed up on the local rules for the PGA Championship.

The final golf major of the year, the 2015 PGA Championship, teed off Thursday morning at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin.

So he laid up with a 5-iron. McIlroy said he felt great in warm-ups leading into the major and now he will tee off in the first round in the afternoon. “And it worked out”.

“Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, I don’t know”, he said. But both decisions are the counterintuitive acts of a prodigy who is determined to balance work and play, maximize his talent yet cling to his boyhood and avoid becoming too over-serious...

Johnson closed with five consecutive pars to maintain his good standing and avoid trouble, something he hasn’t always done in major championships.

But that’s also become a golf trend elsewhere. Call it a preview of Thursday and Friday, when McIlroy and Spieth will be grouped with British Open champion Zach Johnson.

“Everything felt like a Thursday, rather than a Sunday of a major championship”.

Despite missing out on the Grand Slam when he barely lost at the British Open, Spieth could go in the record book with a win at the PGA Championship.

“All four days, I didn’t think“.

One other question was little more tricky.

Indeed, 26-year-old Rory McIlroy and 22-year-old Jordan Spieth each have two victories in the past five majors, are ranked first and second in the world, respectively, and have signaled their intentions to take over the game the way Tiger and Phil once did.

RORY McIlroy is confident his left ankle injury has healed well enough for him to defend his US PGA title at Whistling Straits, Wisconsin.

And who can blame them?

But he has given a positive update on his injury on his instagram account.
