LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A brief look at Thursday’s opening round at the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club (all times EDT):
LEADING: Xander Schauffele at 9-under 62.
CHASING: Tony Finau, Sahith Theegala and Mark Hubbard at 65.
BROKEN RECORDS: Schauffele set the PGA Championship record with his 62. The 64 rounds under par broke a PGA Championship record for most sub-par scores in the first round. The previous record was 60 at Medinah in 2006.
