The Latest: Spieth fights to opening 71 at PGA Championship
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Latest on the PGA Championship, golf's final major of the year (all times local):6:30 p.m.
Jordan Spieth spent most of his day play catch-up after a double-bogey at the first, and his 1-over 71 in the opening round of the PGA Championship left him seven shots off the pace.
Spieth arrived at Bellerive trying to complete the career grand slam, but he never seemed to get his round going. He fought back to even par after a birdie at the 15th, but a pair of wayward shots led to another bogey at the par-5 17th and a bitter taste in his mouth.
Spieth won't have much time to figure out what went wrong. He goes off at 8:12 a.m. on Friday.___6:15 p.m.
