Rory McIlroy and Robert MacIntyre start well at the US PGA Championship as American Xander Schauffele sets the early pace at Valhalla.
Xander Schauffele hit a major record-equalling 62 to set the early pace at the US PGA Championship in Kentucky.Americans Tony Finau and Sahith Theegala sat second on six under, one ahead of Rory McIlroy and Robert MacIntyre, who both posted five-under-par 66s.World number one Scottie Scheffler and two-time major winner Jon Rahm were among the later starters in round one.
Schauffele has struggled to finish off good starts though and has not recorded a victory since winning the 2022 Scottish Open. But a bogey on the 17th was followed by a wayward drive that found water on the par-five 18th. However, McIlroy scrambled a par and that proved the catalyst for a sparkling second nine.
"Potentially being one over par through 10, I'm two under so it's a three-shot difference. It's a big swing."He was joined on five under by Scotland's MacIntyre, who followed three birdies on his front nine with two more coming home.
