Gotterup posts lowest score and Scheffler survives rough start in wind-swept PGA Championship

Associated Press Associated Press —

Chris Gotterup had enough Jersey toughness to handle the cold wind Friday morning in the PGA Championship and then poured it on at the end with three straight birdies, giving him a 5-under 65 for the low round of the tournament.

Scottie Scheffler took a while to get settled down after not hitting a fairway until his ninth hole.

He salvaged a 1-over 71 and was one behind.

Hideki Matsuyama was 3-under par in his quest for a second major.

Aronimink is plenty difficult without dealing with blustery conditions that made it feel colder than the low 50s for so much of the morning.

Gotterup has three PGA Tour titles since July, two of them this year to reach No. 10 in the world.
