Phil Mickelson birdied three of the first four holes to grab an early edge as the 85th PGA Championship began at Oak Hill in Rochester New York. Tim Herron and Rod Pampling sit a stroke back at two under while the course's narrow fairways and thick rough show why par remains tough. Defending champion Rich Beem opened with a bogey after a tee shot into the gallery, and Tiger Woods avoided trouble early as the round got underway.
