New dad Scheffler looks to get back in the swing at Valhalla

Scottie Scheffler works on the practice green during a practice round for the PGA Championship golf tournament at Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, Kentucky May 14, 2024. USA TODAY Sports] LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — New dad Scottie Scheffler arrived at Valhalla on Monday afternoon and began practicing for the 106th PGA Championship, searching for his third major title and fifth triumph in six starts. Scheffler said he was able to "get some good work in, but not my usual stuff" for the major showdown. Scheffler spent time on the practice range and in the short-game area, engaging in chats with defending champion Brooks Koepka and two-time major winner Jon Rahm, before playing the back nine. Scheffler and world No 2 Rory McIlroy will both tee off Thursday, having won their prior two starts — Scheffler at Augusta National and the Heritage, while McIlroy's wins came last month in a pairs event with Ireland's Shane Lowry and Sunday, with his fourth career title at Quail Hollow at the Wells Fargo Championship.
