History-Making Thursday at PGA Championship: Epic Birdies and Unforgettable Moments at Valhalla Day 4!

Records plummeted on a birdie-filled Thursday at the PGA Championship. The scoring average of 69.457 tied the lowest for an opening round in major championship history.

Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka and Viktor Hovland shared the lead on seven-under-par 64, with Schauffele and Koepka each carding nine birdies.

Hovland, who won the 2022 Hero World Challenge, made a hole-in-one on the par-three 15th.

Other notable scores included Justin Thomas’s 65, Scottie Scheffler’s 66, and two-time PGA champion John Daly’s 67.

The low scoring was due in part to the soft conditions following heavy rain earlier in the week. The greens were also receptive, making it easier for players to attack the pins.
