Schauffele, the No. 3-ranked golfer in the world, shot a 62 at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, tying the record for best single-round score ever at a major tournament. He also became the first player to shoot a single-round 62 twice in a major event, as he also did so at the U.S. Open in 2023.

The 30-year-old golfer stands alone atop the PGA Championship leaderboard through the first 18 holes, sitting at 9-under par after his bogey-free round. With his Thursday performance, Schauffele shot up to first in odds to win the PGA Championship, as he looks for his first major victory of his career.
“Up there, I’d say,” Schauffele told ESPN’s Marty Smith on where his round ranks all time. “Again, it’s just one day. I’m very happy with how I played, very content with the shots I rolled. Can’t really think much more of it. I’ve gotta go tee up again tomorrow.”

Valhalla course record
Schauffele set the course record at Valhalla Golf Club on Thursday after shooting a 62, one stroke better than the previous record set by Jose Maria Olazabal’s 63 in 2000. Schauffele’s performance also topped the best first round at Valhalla Golf Club ever, as the previous first-round best was a 65 by Ryan Palmer, Lee Westwood and Kevin Chappell, all in 2014.
It wasn’t the only record Schauffele set on Thursday.
PGA Championship single-round record
