Schauffele equals major record low round with 62 to lead PGA

LOUISVILLE, May 17 — Xander Schauffele matched the lowest round in major golf history yesterday, firing a nine-under-par 62 to seize the early lead on the opening day of the PGA Championship.

Among late starters, top-ranked new dad Scottie Scheffler was 2-under after five holes. He eagled the first hole from the fairway from 167 yards with a 9-iron on one bounce. Schauffele, seeking his first major title, has endured 19 top-10 PGA Tour finishes since last winning at the 2022 Scottish Open.

“I’ve been playing some really solid golf, been having a lot of close calls,” Schauffele said. “Me and my team say why not just keep plugging along.”Schauffele birdied the par-3 11th from inside three feet, sank a 13-foot birdie putt at the par-4 13th, another from just outside 16 feet at 15, one from just past seven feet at 16 and a five-footer to birdie the par-5 18th.

The four-time major winner, who last won a major 10 years ago at Valhalla, made six birdies against a lone bogey after a back-nine start.
