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.

TIED RECORDS: Schauffele’s 62 ties the major championship mark. He already had a 62 at the U.S. Open in 2023, along with Rickie Fowler. Branden Grace shot 62 in the 2017 British Open at Royal Birkdale.

TIGER TALES: Tiger Woods was on the verge of his first sub-par round in a major since the 2022 PGA Championship. He three-putted for bogey on his last two holes for a 1-over 72.

GRAND SLAM 2024: Masters champion Scottie Scheffler opened with a 67 and was five shots back in pursuit of his second straight major.
