PGA Championship 2024: Xander Schauffele leads after Scottie Scheffler plays on despite arrest

Scheffler -8 (13*), Clark E (13*), Harman -2 (13*)

Another gorgeous wedge into the green from Scheffler who leaves himself just 3 feet for his second birdie in four holes on this front nine. He makes no mistake and the World No.1 - after all that drama - is within one shot of the lead. Absurd.

Harman makes a par but there’s a vital birdie for Clark as he battles to make the cut.

It’s been a far from usual day at the PGA Championship, which began with the tragic death of a civilian after a collision with a shuttle bus outside the course at Valhalla.

The victim has now been named as John Mills, while the PGA of America say they are cooperating with local authorities as the fallout from Scheffler’s arrest continues.

A statement released moments ago said: “Our primary concern today remains with the family of John Mills, who lost his life in a tragic accident early this morning while reporting to work.

“As it relates to the incident involving Scottie Scheffler, we are fully cooperating as local authorities review what took place. While the legal process plays out, questions should be directed to Scheffler’s attorney or local authorities.”

Morikawa -9 (14*)

It’s the American who joins Schauffele and Hubbard at the top, pouring in his birdie effort from 16 feet to get up to -9 for the tournament.

It’s getting awfully crowded at the top.

Scheffler -7 (12*), Clark +1 (12*), Harman -2 (12*)

The rain has clearly made the bunker sand that bit heavier and Scheffler finds that out for himself first hand as his bunker shot comes up a bit short on the par-3 12th.

He’s got around eight feet to save his par... and does so superbly! The ball just catches the right lip on this occasion and drops generously into the cup. A great save to remain at -7.

Harman, though, can’t do the same and drops back to -2.

Hubbard -9 (9*)

The American almost pulled level with Schauffele last hole but he makes no mistake at the par-5 18th. A great wedge in and he rolls it in superbly to get to -9.

He makes the turn now for his second nine - how low can he go before Schauffele gets underway.

Scheffler -7 (11*), Clark +1 (11*), Harman -3 (11*)

Words simply fail. Another perfect iron approach and a fourth birdie of the day for Scheffler who is now just two shots back of Schauffele at the top of the board.

He’s lapping up the support from the crowd today and making the most of it.

Pars for Harman and Clark.

Morikawa -8 (13*)

The American is searching for his second PGA Championship and is going about it the right way as he finds another birdie after a superb approach into the par-4 fourth.

Another birdie for his round, which has yet to produce a blemish either, and he is alongside fellow countryman Hubbard on -8 now.

Kim -7 (13*)

A run of six straight pars comes to an end for the South Korean but it’s met with a birdie - his third of the day - to move him up into a tie for third on -7. Kim finished runner-up at the Open last year and looks to be right at home in these big events despite his young age.

Scheffler -6 (10*), Clark +1 (10*), Harman -3 (10*)

So close to another birdie for the World No.1 but his putt just catches the lip and refuses to drop. Still an easy-enough par for the American.

Harman also makes par but it’s a bogey for Clark who is struggling today and has a fight on his hands to make the cut.

Noren -6 (14), Detry -7 (12)

A backwards move at just the wrong time for the Swede as he misses a short-ish putt to save his par on the 14th. He slips back to -6 and three of Schauffele.

Detry, meanwhile, replaces him in the group at -7 after a stellar approach from the Belgian leaves him with just three feet left to tap in for his birdie.
