Scheffler blasts 'absurd' pins as US PGA halfway pressure mounts at Aronimink

At Aronimink, halfway through the US PGA Championship, two-under leads; Scheffler shot 71 after early bogeys and criticized the tournament’s pin placements as the hardest he’s faced on tour, singling out the 14th. Alex Smalley and Maverick McNealy sit at four under, with Aldrich Potgieter briefly at five under before back-to-back bogeys. Hideki Matsuyama is two back, along with Chris Gotterup and Min Woo Lee, while Rory McIlroy sits three under after a rough start. Scoring remains tight as wind and course setup test the field ahead of the weekend.

Seven-Way Lead Emerges as Scheffler Contends in Turbulent PGA Championship Round 1

Aronimink hosted a brutally tough Round 1 of the PGA Championship, producing a historic seven-way tie for the 3-under lead and a massive cluster—48 players within three of the lead, the most ever in a modern major after one round. Scottie Scheffler is among the leaders, joined by notables such as Martin Kaymer at 3-under, Aldrich Potgieter (the youngest leader since 1999), and others like Lowry, Schauffele and Reed a stroke back. Jon Rahm is under par thanks to an eagle from 98 yards, while Rory McIlroy (74) and Bryson DeChambeau (76) struggled. The wide-open mix sets up an unpredictable weekend with a deep field still very much in play.
