Xander Schauffele was on the receiving end of what some would consider a bizarre comment from a spectator during the second round of the PGA Championship.

Schauffele was playing the 10th hole and, unsurprisingly, absolutely striped his tee ball down the middle of the fairway at Valhalla Golf Club.

No sooner did Schauffele's ball launch into orbit did the fan shout: "Get inside me!"

As far as yells go, this one surely ranks among the creepiest?

Schauffele was in the zone and didn't react to the comment.

He went on to make a birdie four on the dogleg right par-5.

It was one of four birdies he recorded in a second round of three-under 68 that left him atop of the leaderboard on 12-under after 36 holes.

Schauffele is searching for his first major championship title.

Once again the 30-year-old has been a pillar of consistency on the PGA Tour this year.

Overall, he has posted as many as eight top-10 finishes. But the big victory has so far eluded him.

His biggest near miss came at the 2024 Players at TPC Sawgrass where he finished second to Scottie Scheffler.

If Schauffele is to claim his first major he will likely have to fend off a charge from the world number one.

Scheffler was the talk of the sporting world when he was arrested over a traffic incident before the second round of the PGA Championship.

Schauffele told reporters he was aware of what happened to Scheffler before he teed off and later said he thought his arrest was a prank when he saw his mugshot.

"I know Scottie pretty well," Schauffele said.

"We share a physio and we've been playing golf for a few years now, and I know he's a solid guy and there was no mal intent by him to anyone. So hopefully he [comes] out unscathed."
