Xander Schauffele ripped up the major record books to set a commanding clubhouse target during a historic opening round at the PGA Championship.
Schauffele carded nine birdies during a stunning bogey-free opening round at Valhalla Golf Club, seeing him record the first '62 round' in the PGA Championship and just the fourth ever in a men's major. Branden Grace was the first player to shoot 62 in a men's major in the 2017 Open at Royal Birkdale, with Schauffele now matching the feat that he and Rickie Fowler managed during the opening round of last year's US Open at Los Angeles Country Club.
Schauffele holed from 15 feet to save par at the 12th and converted from a similar distance to birdie the par-four next, then got up and down to scramble a par at the 14th before starting his charge by birdieing both his next two holes. He added another at the par-five 18th to close an impressive first-nine 31, with Schauffele producing another sand save at the first and then firing his approach at the second to inside five feet and making his sixth birdie of the day.
