Introduction

The 2026 PGA Championship started at Aronimink Golf Club. The golf course is very difficult and many players have the same score.

Main Body

Seven players are in first place. This is a record. The wind is strong and the grass is long. This makes the game hard for everyone. Scottie Scheffler is the best player in the world. He says the holes are too difficult. Rory McIlroy also played poorly because he hit his ball in the wrong direction. Some players had problems. Garrick Higgo got a penalty because he was late. Jon Rahm hit a piece of grass at a worker by mistake. He said he was sorry.

Conclusion

The competition is still very close. The winner must play very carefully on the difficult greens.

🚩 The "Too Much" Pattern

In this text, we see the word too.

When we use too + adjective, it means something is more than we want. It is usually a problem.

  • The holes are too difficult β†’ They are so hard that it is a problem.
  • The tea is too hot β†’ I cannot drink it.
  • The bag is too heavy β†’ I cannot carry it.

πŸ› οΈ Word Swap: "Hard" vs "Difficult"

Notice that the author uses both words. They mean the same thing!

Hard β†’\rightarrow Difficult

  • "The golf course is very difficult"
  • "This makes the game hard"

Tip: You can use either one to describe a task that needs a lot of effort.
