LOUISVILLE, United States – Xander Schauffele matched the lowest round in major golf history on Thursday (Friday in Manila), firing a nine-under-par 62 to seize command after the opening day of the PGA Championship.

Reigning Olympic champion Schauffele started off the 10th tee and birdied five of his first nine holes, then birdied four more after the turn in a bogey-free round for a three-shot lead at rain-softened Valhalla.
