PGA Championship Round 1: Byrd on a wire
By Chad Conine
| Thursday, August 7, 2008, 04:53 PM
Jonathan Byrd currently leads the PGA Championship, causing me to use the Google window on my Web browser to attempt to ascertain “Who the heck is Jonathan Byrd?”
The answer: well, I’m pretty sure of the top three results found by Google — right between The Music of Jonathan Byrd and Jonathan Byrd’s Cafeteria and Catering — is that he’s a ninth-year pro with three career victories (thank you, PGAtour.com).
His wins came at the 2002 Buick Challenge, the 2004 B.C. Open and the 2007 John Deere Classic.
ANYWAY, Byrd made five birdies and two bogeys on his front nine at Oakland Hills Country Club. As of 5 p.m., he’s got nine holes to attempt to extend his one-stroke lead over Robert Karlsson, Jeev Milkha Singh and Retief Goosen (actually, Goosen’s still on the course, so I suppose he could surge past Byrd and the others).
