The Craziest Stats From the PGA Tour in May

The Craziest Stats From a record-breaking May on the PGA TOUR - Presented by CDW

May was the Month of Scottie Scheffler, and he kicked it off in record-breaking fashion at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson by matching the tour's 72-scoring record, breaking the 36-hole course record at TPC Craig Ranch, and winning by 8 shots. He also managed to record the lowest par-5 scoring average ever recorded (based on PGA TOUR records dating back to 1983), at 3.83. Yes, you read that right, he averaged lower than a birdie on the par 5s!

Speaking of records, Sepp Straka won the Truist Championship at The Philadelphia Cricket Club and for the week made a total of 406' 4" worth of putts, including 5 putts made from more than 20'. He was also under par for the week on the par-3s, which is the lowest recorded par-3 performance at this event.
