Follow all the action from the second round at Southern Hills as Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods among late starters.
Follow all the action as Rory McIlroy is among the late starters in the second round of the PGA Championship at Southern Hills.
The Northern Irishman finally got off to the flying start he’s been missing at the majors in recent years, with a spectacular round of 65 on Thursday giving him a slender advantage over a strong chasing pack.
That lead was eliminated early on Friday as Justin Thomas overcame testing conditions to post his second consecutive round of 67 and set a clubhouse target of -6.
Tiger Woods made a promising start on Thursday but tailed off badly as his iron-play wavered and the 15-time major champion is now fighting to make the cut in the same group as McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, who is hoping to improve on a round of +2 on day one.
Will Zalatoris proved that his round of 66 yesterday was no fluke and he bettered it with a five-under par 65 today to take a one shot lead into the weekend.
Mito Pereira (-8) and Bubba Watson (-5) came from nowhere with rounds of 64 and 63 respective to give themselves a great chance over the next two rounds and despite a round of one-over par for Rory McIlroy (-4) he’s still in contention.
Rory McIlroy (-4) - 71.
Tiger Woods (+3) makes the cut with a par at the last and Rory McIlroy (-4) remains in contention.
Will Zalatoris pars the last and records a five-under par round of 65.
He makes a big par save on 17 to require a five or less on the final hole to ensure he’s here for the weekend but he limps away towards the 18th tee?
Rory McIlroy makes a four too and will head down the last five shots off the lead?
