Scheffler’s 3-under 67 matched the largest opening-round lead group in major championship history, as wind and difficult greens kept scores low.
- On Thursday, Scottie Scheffler carded a 3-under 67 at Aronimink Golf Club to share the first-round lead at the PGA Championship with six other players, marking the largest opening-round logjam since 1969.
- Aronimink Golf Club presented a significant challenge with severely sloped greens, fast fairways, and wind, leaving 48 players within three shots of the lead after not hosting the PGA Championship for 64 years.
- Notable players faced mixed results as former champion Martin Kaymer surprised many by joining the leaders at 67, while Rory McIlroy carded a 4-over 74 and Bryson DeChambeau shot a 6-over 76. Jordan Spieth posted a 1-under 69.
- This marks the first time Scheffler has held a first-round lead in a major tournament. "At this moment, it's anybody's tournament," Scheffler said regarding the crowded leaderboard.
- The second round tees off at 6:45 a.m. EDT Friday at Aronmink, where competitors navigate difficult conditions competing for the year's second major title.
