PGA Championship Best Rounds: 17 Scores Of 63

The PGA Championship takes place for the 103rd time this year and will be staged at the stunning Kiawah Island in South Carolina.

After Branden Grace's 62 at Royal Birkdale in 2017, 63 in a major is no longer record-equalling, but 17 men have shot the number in the PGA Championship.

Two-time PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka has done it twice both of which came in tournament wins at Bellerive and Bethpage Black.
