Unveiling the Battle: The PGA Championship at Valhalla Unveils Its Wrath on Thursday. Discover the Unfolding Drama!

**PGA Championship at Valhalla Brought to Its Knees**

The PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club was brought to its knees Thursday by relentless rain and high winds. The course, which was already playing long and difficult, became nearly impossible to play as the day wore on.

Scores soared, and only a handful of players managed to break par. The leaders after the first round were Jason Dufner and Jim Furyk, who both shot 1-under 70.

However, the day belonged to Mother Nature. The rain and wind made it difficult for players to control their shots, and the greens were slick and unpredictable.

As a result, the tournament was thrown into chaos. Several players withdrew, and others were forced to play multiple holes in the dark.

The PGA Championship is one of the most prestigious tournaments in golf, but Thursday’s weather conditions made it a mockery. The players were frustrated, and the fans were disappointed.

The chip-in proved to be a crucial moment for Thomas, who was struggling to make a move on the leaderboard before his birdie. It injected a much-needed dose of momentum into his round and propelled him up the standings.

**Surprise entry S.M. Lee leads Mizuho Americas**

SEOUL, June 12 (Yonhap) — Journeyman professional golfer S.M. Lee posted a stunning 7-under 65 at the rain-shortened Mobile Bay LPGA Classic on Thursday, grabbing the first-round lead at 20 under.

The South Korean has only one LPGA Tour title to her credit in her 13-year career.

The tournament in Mobile, Alabama, was cut short after 36 holes because of a weather forecast of heavy rain. Players completed two rounds on Friday.

Lee began the second round at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Magnolia Grove Crossings Course with a four-stroke lead but couldn’t match her fireworks from Thursday. She shot 1-under 71, while two-time major winner Brooke Henderson, of Canada, fired 8-under 64 to close the gap to just one heading into the weekend.

Third-round tee times will now begin at 11 a.m. Saturday to avoid potential storms.

Scottie Scheffler’s 1st hole back since fatherhood? You won’t believe it

**Scottie Scheffler Returns to Golf After Becoming a Father**

Scottie Scheffler, the new father of a baby girl, returned to the PGA Championship on Thursday, focused and determined. In his first round back since welcoming his daughter, Scheffler played conservatively and made only one birdie on the front nine.

However, on the back nine, he found his rhythm, making three birdies to finish the day two under par. Speaking to reporters after his round, Scheffler said becoming a father has given him a new perspective on life and golf.

“It’s hard to describe,” Scheffler said. “It’s just a different feeling. I love being a dad and it’s definitely changed my outlook on life. I’m just thankful for the opportunity to be here and play golf.”

Schauffele matches major record again with 62

Xander Schauffele shot a course-record 10-under 62 on Thursday to seize the first-round lead at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn.

Schauffele matched the major championship record for the lowest opening round at the 2018 Masters Tournament. He carded an eagle, nine birdies and just one bogey on the par-70 TPC River Highlands layout. Only one player has ever shot a sub-60 round on the PGA Tour — Rhein Gibson, who posted a 59 in the final round of the 2012 Puerto Rico Open.

Schauffele, 28, birdied the par-4 18th hole to cap his round. He leads by three shots over five players: J.T. Poston, Kramer Hickok, Cameron Young, Hank Lebioda and Martin Trainer. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and No. 2 Rory McIlroy both shot 68.
