LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Xander Schauffele broke the PGA Championship scoring record, seizing on the rain-softened conditions at Valhalla on Thursday with a 9-under 62 to set the early target.
Schauffele also tied the major championship record -- he already was on that list with a 62 last year in the U.S. Open -- on a day of remarkable scoring.
Coming off a runner-up finish last week in the Wells Fargo Championship, Schauffele played the back nine in 31 and then ran off three birdies in a four-hole stretch in the middle of the front nine, all with putts inside 10 feet.
