Sizzling Schauffele grabs early PGA Championship lead
Louisville | A rampaging Xander Schauffele has powered to the top of the PGA Championship leaderboard, firing a record-equalling opening round nine-under 62 at Valhalla Golf Club, as the Olympic champion looked to atone for a shock loss at the Wells Fargo.
Out with the early starters, Schauffele set the target that no one in the 156-player field could match on Thursday (Friday AEST). Tony Finau and Sahith Theegala came the closest, returning six-under 65s to sit three back.
