Xander Schauffele Makes History with Record-Breaking Round at PGA Championship
Xander Schauffele has set the golf world on fire with his scorching hot start at the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club. The 30-year-old golfer rewrote the record books on Thursday with an incredible opening round that left fans in awe.
Schauffele finished his first round at 9-under par, taking the lead and setting a new course record in the process. His score of 62 is now the lowest round ever recorded at a PGA Championship, surpassing the previous record of 63 held by 17 other golfers.
The talented golfer showcased his skills with 12 one-putts and some impressive scrambling, including a miraculous up-and-down par save on the par-3 eighth hole. Despite his stellar performance, Schauffele remains focused on the task at hand, knowing that there are still three rounds left to play.
While Schauffele leads the pack, he faces tough competition from the likes of Rory McIlroy, Tony Finau, Sahith Theegala, and Scottie Scheffler, who all finished with impressive scores in their opening rounds.
As weather conditions may play a factor in the coming days, Schauffele will need to stay locked in and hope for more low numbers to be posted by his competitors. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, but Schauffele has certainly set the pace in record-setting fashion.
The golf world is buzzing with excitement as Schauffele continues to make history at the PGA Championship. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if he can maintain his momentum and secure a victory in the prestigious tournament.
