The first round of the 2012 BMW Championship is underway on Thursday, with several of the top players already having teed off. Crooked Stick is a long hitter’s course, but Zach Johnson, who’s one of the shorter hitters on tour and is best known for his precision with his irons and putter, is off to a blistering start. He’s 4-under on the day through seven holes and is in a three-way tie for first place.
