Fred Couples was unable to get anything going in the first round of the PGA Championship. A first round 76 puts Fred eight shots out of the lead currently held by Robert Karlsson, Jeev Milkha Singh and Andres Romero. Due to a rain delay, about a dozen golfer were unable to finish the first round.

Couples made 7 bogeys on the day, including an opening stretch where Fred bogeyed four of the first seven holes. Fred would get one shot back at the par four 15th, making his only birdie of the day.

Since the first round did not complete, the second round tee times might be slightly delayed.
