PGA Championship: Xander Schauffele ties major record, Scottie Scheffler eagles first hole as Dad

Xander Schauffele shoots record-breaking 62 at PGA Championship, aiming for elusive first major win, while Tiger Woods struggles on opening day.

Xander Schauffele has made history by shooting a 62 in a major championship for the second time, putting him in an elite group of golfers. His impressive nine-under 62 at the PGA Championship has given him an early three-shot lead and set a new course record. This remarkable achievement adds to his previous 62 at the US Open last year, showcasing his talent on the biggest stages in golf.

While Schauffele's performance has been exceptional, he is aware that the ultimate goal is to win a major championship. Despite his numerous top-10 finishes and near misses, the 30-year-old is determined to secure his first major title. His strong start at the PGA Championship is a testament to his hard work and dedication to achieving that elusive victory.

However, Schauffele faces stiff competition from players like Scottie Scheffler, who is coming off a win at The Masters and is in top form. Scheffler's impressive start at the PGA Championship indicates that he is a strong contender for the title. With other players like Tony Finau, Rory McIlroy, and defending champion Brooks Koepka in the mix, the tournament promises to be highly competitive.

As the tournament progresses, Schauffele will need to maintain his focus and continue playing at a high level to secure the win. With his experience and determination, he has the potential to emerge victorious and add a major championship to his already impressive resume. Golf fans can expect an exciting weekend of golf as the competition heats up at the PGA Championship.
