🏆🔥 A record at Valhalla, already?

GM. This is Easy Pars. The golf newsletter that thinks Valhalla is playing like two different courses.

Here’s what we’ve got for you today:

• Great golf at Valhalla (so far)

• $3000 3D-printed irons?

• Best golf content from around the web

The PGA Championship is underway

Xander Shauffele is off to a phenomenal start after just coming up short at the Wells Fargo Championship.

He just finished his R1 with a bogey-free 62 and is in solo first at -9.

For the record, it’s the only time a player’s shot a 62 at a PGA Championship, the 4th time it’s ever happened at a Major championship. Oh, and Xander is now two of those four times 👀 (source)

That said, he has plenty of golf left.

And plenty of talent not too far off him, including the winner of the Wells Fargo (Rory), and last year’s PGA Champion (Brooks).

Update: Scottie eagled the first hole, by holing out. 

There are also a number of greats toward the bottom of the list. Valhalla is a glove that only fits certain hands, from what it seems.

Tip: The PGA Championship website is great for rewatching golf shots. Not quite as good as the Masters app, but decent.

Here’s how to find one-shot clips:

• Go to the leaderboard here: https://www.pgachampionship.com/leaderboard

• Click on the player you’d like to see, then click the video icon underneath the hole you’d like to see.

That’s it. Here’s a screenshot of us finding Scheffler’s hole out. We just clicked on Scottie, then the video icon for hole one.

Speaking of Majors

Remember when Bryson DeChambeau was in the lead at Augusta. He ripped out a pole, said zingers like, “no way, Jose!”

It was great.

Another thing he did was play with $10,000 3D-printed irons, that were approved just days before he teed off at the Masters.

Well, Cobra just launched their own 3D irons for a cool $3000 per set.

You in?

Well, before you make your choice, this guy got a hold of them and tested them out.

• Remember Wilson golf products? Their Triad golf ball is getting better ratings than ProV1s 👀

• Want to see great golfers (and YouTubers) play 18 at 15th-rated Kingston Heath, in Australia? Gorgeous course, great golf.

That’s it for this issue, golfer. Now it’s back to watching the last rounds of Valhalla and all the following commentary.

See you Monday.
