Tiger Woods feels “stronger” ahead of the PGA Championship
The whole action follows, as Rory McIlroy is among the late starters of the second round of the PGA Championship in Southern Hills.
The Northern Irishman finally got off to a good start that he had missed in the majors in recent years, with a spectacular round of 16 on Thursday that gave him a slim lead over a strong group of pursuers.
That lead was eliminated early on Friday, when Justin Thomas passed the test conditions to post his second consecutive round of 67 and set a -6 goal at the club.
McIlroy will try to review this total throughout his round, with Will Zalatoris, Tom Hoge, Mito Pereira, Cameron Smith and Abraham Ancer also looking to make moves later Friday. Tiger Woods got off to a promising start on Thursday, but ended badly as his ironwork faltered and the 15-time main champion now struggles to get the cut in the same group as McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, who hopes to improve. in a round. +2 on the first day.

A turkey from Bubba Watson (-3) suddenly shot him in the fight. They are three birds in a row in nine, 10 and 11 for the Floridian who plays alongside Justin Rose (-1).

Justin Thomas passes the test conditions to set the clubhouse goal in the PGA Championship
Former champion Justin Thomas passed the test conditions to set the clubhouse goal on the second day of the 104th United States PGA Championship.
Thomas, who lifted the Wanamaker trophy at Quail Hollow in 2017, scored a second 67 in a row in the Southern Hills for a total halfway through 134, six below par.
That led to world number one a chance ahead of tonight’s leader Rory McIlroy, who was one of the next headlines on Friday as he continued his bid to win a fifth major title and the first since 2014.

Hi, did Rory McIlroy come out to play? A wooden shot from the tee at 12 followed by a glorious iron offers another birdie opportunity. If this one enters, it can start moving in the right direction again.
Will Zalatoris (-7) just taught him how to do it. The American takes the lead with a bird of his own on the 12th.

Oh no. With a big problem off the tee on the 11th, Woods misses a crucial putt for a bogey and has to settle for a double. It is up to (+5) and as it is, the cut will be lost. Work to do for Tiger.
Jordan Spieth (+2) also hits back on par-3 as Rory McIlroy enters for a pair.

From heroes to zeros for Woods and Spieth, who both go wild on par-3. Spieth scratches his well-deflected tee throw to the right and Woods is edging the off-limits marker at the back of the green.
Rory McIlroy is safe on the dance floor.
