SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- PGA Championship week began with such promise. Whistling Straits buzzed with interest, intrigue and more than a little bit of controversy.
Then the golf started.
And stopped.
And started.
And stopped.
Even under the best of circumstances it was doubtful the PGA could hold its early pace. After sex, lies and veggie-gate dominated pre-tournament interest, the actual golf had a lot to live up to. So far it hasn't. Of course, there really hasn't been that much golf.
After two days of play in the rural heather lands of Wisconsin, where the people are friendly and the mosquitoes are large and plentiful, there remains a long way to go just to reach the halfway point of the year's final major.

The PGA Championship is in a fog. Thursday's and Friday's play have been delayed a combined total of five hours and 56 minutes by three stoppages inflicted by a heavy morning soup rolling off Lake Michigan. Add on the excessively slow play generated in part by the artificially rough terrain and long distances between holes, and Friday ended with 78 players still on the golf course.
