The PGA of America declined to allow preferred lies in fairways despite several inches of rain before the tournament, and the game's top players took issue in Round 1.

The PGA Championship did not use the preferred lie rule after the heavy rains of the past few days, and Scottie Scheffler was not very fond of it.
