Shane Lowry tied the all-time major championship scoring record by shooting a 62 at the PGA Championship. This feat, achieved at Valhalla in the Bluegrass state, marks only the fifth time in history that a 62 has been recorded in a major. Lowry's performance also matched the course record and was highlighted by his near miss at achieving the first-ever 61 in major championship history. He finished the round 9-under and tied for the lead. His pre-tournament odds were +9000, which shifted to +800 after his remarkable third round.
