LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Xander Schauffele is selecting up proper the place he left off.

For the second time in a lower than a 12 months, the third-ranked participant on the earth tied the report for the bottom spherical at a serious championship by taking pictures an opening-round 62, this time within the first spherical of the PGA Championship.

A 12 months after he shot a U.S. Open-record 62 within the first spherical on the Los Angeles Nation Membership, Schauffele’s 9-under spherical Thursday featured 9 birdies and no bogeys and broke the Valhalla Nation Membership course report of 63 set by José María Olazábal in 2000, which had been tied for the PGA Championship report.

“I can not nitpick,” Schauffele stated when requested to check the 2 rounds. “I will take a 62 in any main any day.”

Schauffele’s report spherical separated him from the remainder of the sphere by 3 pictures. Tony Finau, who has 10 top-10 finishes at majors with no win, Sahith Theegala and Mark Hubbard carded 65s, whereas Rory McIlroy shot a 66 to settle in for a seven-way tie at 5 below on the web site of his final main win in 2014.

Additionally at 66 was two-time main winner Collin Morikawa, who performed top-of-the-line rounds of the afternoon wave, carding seven birdies in his final 12 holes.

After a three-week hiatus for the delivery of his son, Scottie Scheffler returned to the golf world and wasted no time eliciting his first roar by holing out for eagle on his first gap of the event.

What adopted within the ensuing 17 holes was a spherical that featured Scheffler’s B-game, at greatest, and included two bogeys and 4 birdies on his approach to a 67, 5 pictures behind the chief in a big group that features defending champion Brooks Koepka, who had an eagle and a birdie in his closing three holes.

“I felt like there was a pair issues I can clear up going into tomorrow, however general at this time was a stable spherical,” Scheffler stated after his forty first consecutive spherical at par or higher.

Tiger Woods completed with back-to-back three-putt bogeys and is 10 strokes behind Schauffele.

The primary spherical ended with 64 gamers breaking par to surpass the PGA Championship report of 60 set in 2006 at Medinah, based on the Elias Sports activities Bureau.

Schauffele, who began on No. 10, birdied 5 of his first 9 holes and carded a 31 earlier than turning over to the entrance 9 and persevering with his birdie march. Over the ultimate eight holes, he made 4 birdies to open a 3-stroke lead — tied with Bobby Nichols (1964) and Raymond Floyd (1982) for the most important on this occasion after 18 holes.

He had an opportunity to set the main report with a birdie putt on No. 9, however his 33-footer missed to the suitable. By the point he putted for par, taking part in alongside Louisville native Justin Thomas, it was clear Schauffele had taken middle stage.

“If you’re taking part in with one of many best 9 unders you’ve got ever seen, it makes you’re feeling such as you’re taking pictures one million,” stated Thomas, who shot a 2-under 69. “Xander, he is such an entire participant. … He is taking part in actually, actually nice golf proper now. So you’re feeling like he is a type of guys, each time he tees it up proper now, he’ll be in competition.”

Schauffele, a San Diego native, is not any stranger to first-round leads at main tournaments. He has the bottom profession first-round scoring common in majors among the many gamers within the area who’ve appeared in no less than 25 majors. It has but to end in wins, nonetheless.

Final 12 months, Schauffele’s opening-round 62 on the U.S. Open, which was equaled by Rickie Fowler and tied the first-ever 62 by Branden Grace on the 2017 Open Championship, put him within the driver’s seat for the event. However over the subsequent three days, Schauffele withered and completed tied for tenth following a final-round 72.

Schauffele and top-10 finishes go hand in hand. He has eight of them this season, however no victories. That development extends to main championships. Of this 12 months’s area, solely Fowler (13) has extra profession top-10 finishes at a serious with no win than Schauffele (12), who has completed inside the highest 10 at three of the previous 5.

Requested whether or not he’s taking part in one of the best golf of his profession, Schauffele could not assist however oblige.

“I might say it’s extremely near it, if not it,” he stated. “I really feel there’s spurts, moments in time the place you’re feeling like you may management the ball rather well, you are seeing the greens rather well, you are chipping rather well. However over a protracted interval, it is robust to maintenance excessive efficiency.”

Final week on the Wells Fargo Championship, Schauffele had his greatest shot at securing his first PGA Tour win because the 2022 Scottish Open as he led McIlroy by a stroke heading into the ultimate spherical. However a closing spherical of even par in opposition to McIlroy’s 6 below left Schauffele with one other second-place end — the 14th of his profession.

“I feel not successful makes you need to win extra, as bizarre as that’s,” Schauffele stated. “For me, no less than, I react to it, and I would like it increasingly and extra, and it makes me need to work tougher and tougher and tougher.”

However few gamers are taking part in higher golf than Schauffele is true now. He ranks inside the highest 10 in strokes gained, and it is solely his placing (forty second this 12 months) that has held him again.

Schauffele’s profile fits Valhalla effectively. The 7,600-yard course requires gamers to be distinctive with their lengthy irons, and Schauffele tops the PGA Tour this 12 months on strategy pictures over 200 yards.

On Thursday, Schauffele continued his stellar strategy play, gaining 2.5 strokes on the sphere. On the 498-yard, par-4 No. 6, Schauffele had 246 yards to the outlet and hit it on the inexperienced, the place he calmly two-putted for par.

His most spectacular effort, nonetheless, may need been the par-3 eighth. After airmailing the inexperienced, Schauffele hit an ideal, low pitch that trickled to inside inches for a tap-in par.

Scheffler, a four-time winner this 12 months, confirmed little rust in his return to play, however he missed just a few brief putts — two of which resulted in dropped pictures — that introduced again some recollections of his placing struggles earlier this 12 months. Nonetheless, Scheffler seems to be proper the place he needs to be. Given his type as of late, he has proven us {that a} spherical like Thursday’s is as poorly as he can play.

McIlroy had his ninth opening spherical of 66 or higher in a serious, probably the most ever by any participant.

“I form of felt prefer it was fairly scrappy for probably the most half. I do not actually really feel like I left many on the market,” McIlroy stated after his spherical, which included hitting balls within the water on Nos. 9 and 18. “I assumed I obtained lots out of my recreation at this time. Some good up-and-downs. I had a bit of little bit of a scrappy half across the flip there. … Not likely pleased with how I performed, however no less than pleased with the rating.”

With 54 holes to play and loads of leaderboard shifting to come back, particularly at a dramatic course equivalent to Valhalla, Schauffele is aware of in addition to anybody that what he does Thursday will not matter if he cannot stick with it via Sunday.

“It is simply Thursday,” Schauffele stated with a smile. “That is about it.”

DALLAS — The Dallas Stars may have eradicated the Colorado Avalanche in 5 video games within the Western Convention Second Spherical. They’d a 2-1 lead in Sport 5 on Wednesday and misplaced 5-3.

You could possibly argue the Stars ought to have swept the Avalanche. They’d a 3-0 lead in Sport 1 and misplaced 4-3 in time beyond regulation earlier than successful the subsequent three video games by a mixed rating of 14-5.

However right here they had been on the airport Thursday, flying to Denver for Sport 6 on Friday (10 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN1, SN, TVAS), and that appeared about proper within the large image.

Though they received the Western Convention with 113 factors within the common season, the Stars completed three factors forward of the Winnipeg Jets and 6 forward of the Avalanche within the Central Division. Colorado received the Stanley Cup in 2022 and has three of the most effective gamers within the NHL: defenseman Cale Makar and forwards Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen.

“The collection goes to commute,” Dallas ahead Matt Duchene mentioned. “They’re a heck of a hockey group. I imply, they simply may have received our division this 12 months too. Between us, Winnipeg and them, everybody was tight and had the lead at one level, so we’re not shocked we’re on this place, as a result of they’re that good a group. And who is aware of? Hopefully, we shut them out [in Game 6]. It’d take two video games.”

The Stars must get again to what they did in Video games 2-4, after they held Rantanen to a aim, MacKinnon to an help, Makar to no factors and the Avalanche to 0-for-8 on the facility play. Makar had two objectives, MacKinnon had a aim and an help, Rantanen had an help, and the Avalanche went 2-for-3 on the facility play in Sport 5.

“I believe it’s a giant ask to close these guys down,” Dallas coach Pete DeBoer mentioned. “You knew they had been going to reply after the earlier three video games and the three losses, and I believe I mentioned yesterday, it’s robust to beat any group on this league 4 video games in a row, so we knew that was going to come back in some unspecified time in the future, and all three of them had been actually good. I believe the message in there may be, if we will include them — or ensure that one in all them’s actually good, not all three on the identical night time — we’ll give ourselves an opportunity.”

Dallas was the most effective street group within the NHL within the common season (.695) and is now 4-1 on the street within the Stanley Cup Playoffs, permitting 1.60 objectives per sport, the bottom fee among the many 16 playoff groups. The Stars are 3-4 at house within the playoffs, permitting 3.14 objectives per sport, which is ranked seventh.

Why the distinction? DeBoer disagreed with the speculation the Stars roll 4 traces extra, fear about matchups much less and take fewer dangers on the street.

“I believe there’s been video games we’ve performed simply as effectively at house as we’ve got on the street,” he mentioned. “We’ve simply discovered methods to lose as an alternative of win. I don’t have a solution for that.”

The Stars once more may very well be with out heart Roope Hintz, who didn’t play in Sport 5 after blocking a shot in Sport 4. DeBoer mentioned he was day after day. Requested if Hintz was making the journey, DeBoer smiled and repeated that he was day after day.

“The gorgeous factor right here is that we’ve got unimaginable depth,” Duchene mentioned. “You may have a giant participant like Roope go down and nonetheless have some nice choices. It’s not such as you’re reeling to switch him. Clearly, he’s a man that’s very laborious to switch, however we do have a whole lot of actually good gamers that may step in and attempt to fill that void.”

The Stars would love to complete off the Avalanche in Sport 6, not simply to keep away from Sport 7, however to relaxation, heal and put together for the Western Convention Remaining. However they understand how tough this will likely be. Within the first spherical in opposition to the defending champion Vegas Golden Knights, they failed to shut out the collection in Sport 6 in Las Vegas and received Sport 7 in Dallas.

“It’s a tough factor to do,” DeBoer mentioned.

“You’re all the way down to the eight finest groups within the League proper now, so it’s laborious to shut anybody out, and if it takes six or it takes time beyond regulation in seven, the underside line is, you simply wish to transfer ahead. …

“We’ve obtained to discover a method to get it accomplished. I’m assured in our sport. I believe our group trusts our sport, each at house and on the street, so I believe we’re assured going right into a Sport 6 on the street, and if it doesn’t occur, we’re assured in a Sport 7. We’ve accomplished it earlier than right here.”
