PGA Championship 2024: 3 Instant Reactions to Thursday Leaderboard Scores

Xander Schauffele put himself in the men's golf record book for the second time on Thursday.

Schauffele carded the fourth 62 in a major tournament round to open the 2024 PGA Championship.

The nine-birdie, bogey-free round placed Schauffele three shots ahead of his closest competition at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville.

A who's who of major winners and usual title contenders sit beneath Schauffele after one round of play.

Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa are each four shots back of the lead, while Scottie Scheffler, who started his day with an eagle at No. 1, resides five shots behind Schauffele.
