For golfers looking to make the cut and continue on to the weekend at the 2015 PGA Championship, there's been little room for error. 

The projected cut line on Friday shows that even just a couple of surplus strokes might doom a player's chances of survival. This meant nervy afternoons for the likes of Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler and Tiger Woods, all of whom were far from their best selves in the opening round.

While some golfers struggled to get by at Whistling Straits golf course in Kohler, Wisconsin, others turned the venerable course into a personal showcase. None of the morning players were better than Hiroshi Iwata, who tied a major record with an absurd score of 63 on Friday.

Here's a look at the live standings from Whistling Straits, followed by the top early performers from Friday's play. 




Top Early Performers

Hiroshi Iwata



Iwata's blistering performance on Friday hardly could've come from a more surprising source. He's the world's No. 102-ranked golfer, is participating in his first PGA Championship, hasn't so much as made the cut in his only other major appearances (at the British Open) and opened the tournament with a first-round 77.

The man could do no wrong on the back nine Friday, notching an eagle and five birdies. Yahoo Sports' Ryan Ballengee noted he even had a chance to shoot a record 62 but fell just short on the 18th hole:

His second shot to the 520-yard finishing hole came up some 20 yards short of the green to the right, leaving a tricky pitch shot over bunkers to a tight hole location. The pitch landed in the rough, bounding onto the green and sliding by the hole just inches on the left, setting up a straightforward par putt for a piece of golf history.

Iwata appeared to be mighty appreciative of the attention received after his historic round, via PGA Championship:
