The 2016 PGA Championship got underway on Thursday with Round 1 on the Lower Course at Baltusrol Golf Club, just outside of Newark, N.J. The players were treated to a fair setup and large galleries through the day, with the crowed cheering most for Jordan Spieth and Andrew Johnston.

Golf News Net's Keith Leventhal chronicled the action from the site of the year's final major.
