Was there any doubt?

Before most of us got home from work to watch the PGA Championship, Tiger Woods shot a 5-under 67, building a one-shot lead over defending champion Padraig Harrington (+800) for an ideal start.

Not since Carnoustie two years ago has Woods managed to break 70 in the opening round of a major. Not since St. Andrews four years ago has he had the lead to himself after the first round.

Does anyone even have a shot at knocking off the -140 favorite?

Phil Mickelson (+3500) struggled off the tee and with his short putts in his round of 74.

In the traditional group of major champions this year, Lucas Glover (+5000) was the only one to break par with a 71. Masters champion Angel Cabrera had a 76, while British Open winner Stewart Cink (+7000) had two double bogeys in his round of 73.
