Storm warning at Southern Hills

England's Storm birdied his first two holes, a hot start which propelled him into the lead at steamy Southern Hills.

The Hartlepool golfer, playing in his first US PGA Championship, made an immediate impression with birdies at 10 and 11. He continued his run to the lead with birdies at 13 and 16 to take a one-shot advantage at four under par.

After a fast start, Woods faded while Daly stayed cool under the pressure of a major and the heat in Oklahoma.

At three under par 67, Daly was the clubhouse leader by one shot over Arron Oberholser, while Woods finished with a one over 71.

Among the early starters, Woods was three under through six holes and tied for the early lead.

He had just one more birdie the rest of the way with five bogeys for a disappointing end to a round that started with such promise.

Daly - only in the field because of his victory at Crooked Stick in 1991 - started steadily before improving.

In the Open at Carnoustie last month, Daly was five under through 11 holes but finished with three bogeys, a double-bogey and a triple-bogey on the last seven.

He went on to miss the cut and was not considered to be a threat this week - but he looked like one here.
