World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler promptly eagled his first hole Thursday at Valhalla and finished with his 41st straight round of par or better.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — His round was far from perfect, and Scottie Scheffler will undoubtedly want to fine-tune a few things before returning to Valhalla Golf Club on Friday morning., was at home for the birth of his first child just eight days ago and is probably due for some sort of letdown, a score of 67 during the first round of the PGA Championship on Thursday was more than adequate.

Sure, there were some missed opportunities and some squandered shots. But Scheffler was 2 under par before he could work up a sweat and his position on the leaderboard left him just five strokes back of leader Schauffele, in a tie for 12th. “I'd like to clean up a few of the mistakes,” Scheffler said. “I missed two putts I felt like I should have holed today, but that's going to happen when the greens get a little chewed up.”

Scheffler has been consistently beating the best fields, losing to a single player by a single shot going back to his first victory this year at the Arnold Palmer. He won his second Masters and now has 10 PGA Tour titles.
