新浪体育讯　　　北京时间8月10日消息，美国PGA锦标赛第一轮比赛今天在南卡莱纳州的基洼岛海洋球场举行，埃尔斯打出三个柏忌三只小鸟球72杆结束首轮，排名暂时列在并列45位。

　　　　埃尔斯获得过19场美巡赛冠军，其中有四场是大满贯赛：1994年美国公开赛、1997年美国公开赛、2002年英国公开赛和2012年英国公开赛。美国PGA锦标赛是埃尔斯唯一没有染指冠军的两个大满贯赛之一。埃尔斯从1992年第一次参加这场号称“荣誉的最后一击”的比赛，17次出现在这场大满贯赛场，有五次打入前十名，最好成绩是第三名(1995年并列第三、2007年第三名)。

　　　　赛后，埃尔斯通过新浪高尔夫频道，为中国球迷带来独家的现场报道第二篇[第一篇：埃尔斯独家日记透露备战 称球场难度大但是公平]，以下是译文：

　　很高兴再度作为大满贯赛冠军回到赛场。等待再度捧杯的时候已经许多年。我手捧葡萄酒奖杯，凝视着它千百遍我也不厌倦！见到的人还在不停地向我道喜，这种感觉棒极了。记者会上的每一个都在问我最后一轮的感想，当然我也很乐意去回忆。我的好友斯科特也不得不频繁地回答各种问题，但是他表现得非常优雅。我一点都不惊诧。

　　周三下午，我们还一起下场练球。我已经和斯科特认识十年了，我们的关系非常密切。他不仅是我的朋友，也是我家人的朋友。如果他需要任何帮助或者鼓励，从而能够赢得大满贯赛，我会毫不吝啬。看到他开局又打出68杆的杆数，真是非常感人。这足以证明他是伟大的球员，能够从英国公开赛的迷失中马上复起。

　　除此，大家都在谈论或许是连续两场大满贯赛都在林克斯球场--基洼岛的海洋球场，会遇到同样是硬梆梆的球道，滚动的足够快。但是由于下雨天，海洋球场又与英伦岛的林克斯球场有很多不同。这个球场打起来很柔软。

　　周四的第一轮，大家预计大风并没有刮起来。非常美的海边艳阳天，早上出发球员很舒服，这从杆数上可以看出来。我的出发时间比较晚，很明显地看到早上的好成绩，但是你不能为此就调整比赛计划。对于晚出发的球员，球场已经开始刮风，你必须保持足够的耐心，聪明地去处理每一个球。

　　我的挥杆很流畅，果岭上的速度也很好地把握住。总之，我的表现比杆数显示的状态要好，打出72杆的成绩有些许失望，但是还能接受。周五早上，我的开球时间是早上，希望能够得到上天的眷顾，就像今天早上出发的那些球员一样。

　　高尔夫大满贯赛并不总是这么友好。等到预计的坏天气来临之后，基洼岛才会显露出真正的面容。我更喜欢像林克斯风格的天气。很明显，刮大风会更适合我发挥。

　　It's a great feeling being here as a major champion again. It’s been quite a few years now. I've got the Claret Jug with me and I don’t think I’m never going to get tired of looking at that! People are still congratulating me, which is a nice feeling. Everyone in the media is still asking me about that final round and obviously I’ve been happy to talk about it. My buddy Adam Scott has had to field a lot of questions, too. It’s not so easy for him, but he’s been very classy about it. That doesn’t surprise me。

　　We played a practice round together here on Wednesday afternoon. I've known Adam for 10 years and we have a pretty close relationship. He is a good friend of the family and of mine. If he needs any help or encouragement to win a major, I'll give it to him. It was impressive to see him start with a four-under par 68. That shows what a great player he is, bouncing straight back after what happened at the Open。

　　Anyway, you could almost say we might have had back-to-back links majors with Kiawah being right next to the ocean and playing firm and fast like it can sometimes. But with all the rain we had in the build-up to this week’s PGA Championship, there aren’t too many similarities to the links courses of the British Isles that I’ve grown so fond of over the years. The course is actually playing pretty soft。

　　Come the first round on Thursday there wasn’t even much of the wind that we might have anticipated. It was a beautiful sunny day by the ocean and the morning starters had it really calm, which was evident in the low scoring. I had a late tee time and obviously you’re aware that the guys are going low, but you can’t let that alter your game plan. It was breezy out there for us late starters and you’ve got to stay patient and you’ve got to play smart。

　　My swing felt comfortable and on the greens I rolled the ball pretty good. Overall, I played better than I scored, so in that sense level par 72 was slightly disappointing. I can build on that, though. We’re out early on Friday morning and hopefully we should get a good break with the weather just like the guys did early on Thursday。

　　Major championship golf doesn’t always work out quite so neatly, though. From what I’ve heard it looks like we might have some weather coming in and Kiawah will then really start to show its teeth. I think on balance I’d prefer slightly more links-like conditions. Definitely a bit of a wind blowing would suit me just fine。
