The hole location for the 215-yard par-3 -- placed on top of a spine that gave players a small landing area to keep it close -- was one of the hardest that the world No. 1 had ever seen.
"That was one of the craziest pins I've seen," Scheffler said "They put the pin on like this microphone, like it was just like a high point. I hadn't seen anything like it."
As the wind whipped Friday morning with gusts up to 20 mph, it crafted the toughest conditions at Aronimink yet. Scheffler made what he called an "extremely good par" on No. 14 -- his fifth hole of the day -- but what he saw there was indicative of what the field contended with all over the golf course thanks to the PGA of America's setup.
