Scheffler might have some competition, however, Earlier in the day, Xander Schauffele dazzled with a course record round of 62, showing golf fans that he is still one of the top in the game. After the round, Schauffele had a humble take on making history at Valhalla: “I’m very happy with how I played. I’m very content with the shots I hit and the putts I rolled. You know, can’t really take much more of it. I’ve got to go tee it up again tomorrow.”

So far at Valhalla, it looks to be a two-man race between Xander Schauffele and Scottie Scheffler. Let the fun begin.
