Nicklaus shoots 79 in opening PGA round at Oakmont
Jack Nicklaus opened with an 8 over par 79 at Oakmont in the PGA Championship. He blamed misadventures on the course, from driving into a ditch to bad rough, while not ruling out a comeback in the final rounds. He noted he could still post a strong total if he shoots a 66 in the next two rounds and stays hopeful despite a rough start.
