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.

Why Brooks Koepka has an ‘odd’ practice range routine

Why Brooks Koepka has an ‘odd’ practice range routine

**Brooks Koepka’s ‘Odd’ Practice Range Routine**

Brooks Koepka has always been known for his unique approach to the game of golf. From his unconventional swing to his often stoic demeanor, Koepka is not afraid to do things his own way.

And that extends to his practice range routine. While most players hit balls for hours on end, Koepka takes a more minimalist approach. He typically only hits a few dozen balls before heading to the putting green.

But what really sets Koepka’s routine apart is his use of a weighted club. The club is about twice the weight of a normal club, and Koepka uses it to develop his power and accuracy.

“It’s all about creating speed,” Koepka said. “The heavier club forces me to swing faster, which in turn helps me generate more power with my regular clubs.”

Koepka’s practice range routine may seem odd to some, but it’s clearly working for him. He is one of the most successful golfers in the world, having won four major championships and been ranked No. 1 in the world.
