Schauffele gets another major scoring record and sets the pace at PGA Championship

Associated Press  

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Xander Schauffele saw no reason to change anything in his swing or think any less of his game after yet another close call at ending two years without winning. Schauffele seized on soft, still conditions that hardly resembled a major championship test for a 9-under 62, the lowest score in PGA Championship history, and matched another PGA record by building a three-shot lead after the opening round at vulnerable Valhalla. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler saw Schauffele’s score and cared only about putting together a good round in his first competition since his son was born last week. My team and I, we just say let’s keep chugging along.” Schauffele had plenty of attention, playing alongside Louisville native Justin Thomas and in the group ahead of Tiger Woods, who was followed by McIlroy. “And it’s going to make for a fun week.” It was frustrating for Woods, who holed enough putts and hit enough good shots that he was 1 under going to the final three holes.
