Bernhard Langer, at 68 years old, made headlines by shooting a 6-under 66 in the opening round of the Senior PGA Championship at Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida. Despite a double bogey, he broke his age by two shots, marking his 43rd instance of achieving this feat. Langer's impressive round included an eagle on the par-5 17th hole, allowing him to share the lead with Miguel Angel Jiménez, Brian Gay, and Steve Allan. Jiménez also had a strong performance, recording an eagle on the par-5 seventh hole. The tournament is significant as it is the first year of a three-year agreement for Concession to host the Senior PGA Championship, which is the oldest of the senior majors. Langer, who has won this championship only once in 2017, expressed his enjoyment in shooting his age, especially on a challenging course like this one.
