FROM KEITH GROLLER
As of noon Thursday, Tiger Woods was already through 13 holes of his first round at the PGA Championships at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y.
Tiger was one-under par, but four strokes off the lead.
Going into the tournament, Tiger was an overwhelming favorite to end his majors drought.
Phil Mickelson, who has really been the story of the last two majors in good and bad ways, was also a popular choice in Vegas.
