US PGA Championship 2026 golf: day two – live updates
️ Latest news from second round at Aronimink Golf Club️ Official live leaderboard | Follow on Bluesky | Mail ScottScottie Scheffler barely missed a fairway yesterday, arguably the main reason he’s started this tournament fast, a rare feat for him this season on the PGA Tour. (On average, he’s been nearly three shots worse for his first round when compared to his cards on days two, three and four.) So the rest of the field can be forgiven for taking a collective gulp. However, golf being golf, he sends his opening tee shot today into the rough down the left of 10. That only just crept in, so it probably won’t stop him taking a shy for the green, but let’s assume nothing until he gets to the ball and discovers the lie he’s copped. Meanwhile up ahead, Robert MacIntyre bogeys the hole after finding a fairway bunker with his tee shot. He’s immediately back to +1.It’s another dropped shot for Martin Kaymer, the result of a wayward drive. It was a bit of a surprise to see Kaymer, now 41, at the top of the leaderboard yesterday evening. The German reached number one in the world for a wee while back in 2011, won the 2010 PGA and the 2014 US Open, the 2014 Players, and sunk the decisive putt at the Miracle of Medinah. It’s a hell of a CV. But he’s done absolutely nothing in the majors since a tie for seventh at the 2016 PGA, an absolutely dismal record for a player so good, and has since disappeared on the LIV tour. Injuries have taken their toll, to be fair, so you can perhaps understand how he bristled at the champion’s dinner earlier this week when a PGA official asked him if he was still playing. “I’m not flying from Europe to here to have a New York strip with you guys,” he fumed, and that righteous anger fuelled yesterday’s excellent 67. But that’ll only propel you around Aronimink for so long, and he’s started out struggling today. He’s back to -1 in short order. Continue reading...
