Canada&rsquo;s David Hearn fired a four-under par 66 to seize the clubhouse lead yesterday at the PGA Championship while top-ranked Tiger Woods struggled to stay under par at Oak Hill. <img alt="Tiger Woods" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/aug/Tiger-Woods_4.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 358px;" /> Tiger Woods hits his tee shot on the 18th hole during Round 1 of the US PGA C&rsquo;ship yesterday. Pic/AFP Hearn, who grew up five blocks from ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky&rsquo;s home, opened with a bogey but responded with birdies at the second, the par-5 fourth and the par-3 sixth holes, began the back nine birdie-birdie and added another at the par-4 16th before closing with a bogey. Hearn achieved his best US PGA Tour finish last month, losing a playoff at the John Deere Classic on the fifth extra hole to US teen Jordan Spieth, who became the tour&rsquo;s youngest winner since 1931. Jim Furyk was on five under with four holes to play in the first round of the year&rsquo;s final major tournament. u00a0England&rsquo;s Paul Casey and American Robert Garrigus were in the clubhouse on three-under 67 with Thailand&rsquo;s Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Americans Steve Stricker and Jason Dufner finishing on 68. Woods, a 14-time major winner seeking his first major title since the 2008 US Open, was one-under par with four holes remaining. Woods, seeking a record-tying fifth PGA Championship crown, began on the back nine and birdied the par-5 13th and sank an eight-foot birdie putt at the par-3 15th and saved pars at 17 and 18 after missing the green. But Woods found trouble on the front side, missing a four-footer for birdie at the second and finding rough and a bunker on his way to a bogey at the par-5 fourth. He made a motion after his second shot as if to throw his club before holding onto it and his temper.

After a solid start, 14-time major champ finds it difficult to stay under par
