Jimmy Walker fired a personal major best 5-under par 65 and has a one-shot lead after the first round of the 2016 PGA Championship at Baltusrol in Springfield, New Jersey.

Walker takes a 1-shot lead over Emiliano Grillo, Ross Fisher and two-time major champion Martin Kaymer.

British Open Champion Henrik Stenson closed with three birdies on the back nine to finish with a 3-under par 67, trailing Walker by two shots.

Madison’s Steve Stricker shot a 1-under par 69 after a chip-in birdie on the final hole of his first round.  He is four-shots off the lead.  Defending champion Jason Day is 2-under par, 3-shots back.

Things didn’t go so well for defending U.S. Open Champion Dustin Johnson.  He had just one birdie and shot a 7-over par 77.

Round two is set for today.
