Big Names Set To Miss Cut

Round 2 of the PGA Championship was delayed at the start because of the fatal accident near the Valhalla Golf Course.

And in the end, the round didn’t finish because of darkness, but the action in between was as intense as it gets.

🔝 Schauffele Leads: Xander Schauffele continues to lead and stay in the hunt for a maiden major title. He carde a 68 and was at 12-under 130, one shot ahead of Collin Morikawa.

Morikawa birdied five in a row down the stretch only to end with a bogey for a 65

🚀 Scheffler Supremacy: World No 1 Scottie Scheffler was arrested on his way to the course, placed in a holding cell, yet still made his tee time to remain in contention.

Scheffler carded a 5-under 66 and sits T-4. He is currently 9-under for the tournament chasing back-to-back majors.

🚩 Stars Miss Cut: Tiger Woods, Wyndham Clark and Phil Mickelson are some of the notables who are set to miss the cut. Jon Rahm and Ludvig Aberg are also in danger of missing the cutline but we will know that after the second round is officially completed.
