BETHPAGE: Masters winner Tiger Woods, chasing a 16th major title, and defending champion Brooks Koepka lead a powerhouse field into Thursday's opening round of the PGA Championship at rain-drenched Bethpage Black.
"This week is going to be a lot of fun with the crowds, the excitement that we've had here," Woods said."The pairing I'm involved in, it's going to be just a boatload of fun for all of us." Woods won the first two majors of 2002 at the Masters and US Open at Bethpage, where two inches of rain has soaked the course.
"This is not only a big course, but this is going to be a long week the way the golf course is set up. This could be a hell of a championship," Woods said. "I think you've got to attack the par-5s. with my length, you've got to take advantage of the par-5s and just try to hang on on the rest of them."
"You have to hit the ball in the fairway. That's a big stat, driving accuracy. If you start to miss these fairways you're not going to be able to get to the greens."Bethpage Black surrendered only six sub-par scores in hosting two prior majors.
