The second day USA PGA Championship Championship contenders will see the field split in two as they try to change positions before the weekend. Rory McIlroy struggled with the disease and continued to struggle as a bad start Bryson DeChambeau Set the clubhouse goal on the first day in Oak Hill.

On a course that draws comparisons to Winged Foot, the site of his 2020 US Open victory, a weakened DeChambeau still had enough power to send six birds and two bogeys at Thursday’s 66th opening.

This gave DeChambeau a one-shot advantage over world #2. Scottie Schefflerwith Dustin Johnson and Corey Conners Victor Hovland, Ryan Fox and Keegan Bradley are below -2. Unaware Eric Cole held the lead overnight at -5, but only completed 14 holes and immediately doubled his first hole when he returned Friday morning.

McIlroy went back to a three-over 71 after nine holes, while Masters champion and world number 1 Jon Rahm dropped to an astonishing -6 to 76.

A nice end to your first tour Mito Pereira. He looked determined to win this tournament with an 18 lead on Sunday last year, but collapsed to allow Justin Thomas to sneak in and win.

Pereira has signed for the 72-point double and will be back on the pitch in just under an hour for his second round.

Ah… this is not the start of the second round leading overnight Eric Cole wanted. 6 minutes after the tee hit, the grass was in the middle of the field, but on Friday’s first shot, he oiled it and found the creek to the left of the green…

He takes the drop, this time he finds the green but fails to sink a 12-foot bogey, which immediately drops two shots. Going from -5 to -3 and out of the lead

‘I doubted myself’: Bryson DeChambeau reflects on bad year after US PGA debut

DeChambeau saw six birdies and two bogey cards in an opening 66 (-4) six on a living course in comparison to Winged Foot, the site of his dominant U.S. Open victory in 2020.

A lot has happened to the 29-year-old since then, including a feud. Brooks KoepkaHe was tagged as an eight-year-old by the equipment manufacturer after complaining during the Open Championship that his rider was “lousy” and abandoning his unhealthy bulking regimen.

DeChambeau also attended LIV Golf Last year, five months after pledging allegiance to the PGA Tour, Thursday’s tour included accidentally hitting rival fellow Kenny Pigman, who was on the 18th tee, with a wild approach to 17th.

As emaciated Bryson DeChambeau impresses, Rory McIlroy ‘fights something’ in US PGA

On a course that draws comparisons to Winged Foot, the site of his 2020 US Open victory, a weakened DeChambeau still had enough power to send six birds and two boogeymen in an opening 66.

Still oblivious, Eric Cole advanced to the under-five lead just before the horn sounded to stop the game, even though he hadn’t finished his round yet due to the frost delaying the start of the game. Competing in just his second branch at age 34, Cole bounced DeChambeau with three back-to-back birdies in pale light and will continue on Friday morning at 6 (the 15th).

afternoon starters Dustin Johnson And Adam Scott also looked ready to finish at -4, but on the 18th the shots were dropped as they chose to finish the hole after the horn sounded. Johnson was impeccable in making four birdies and had no bogeyman, then a par putt on 18 would slip wide to mean three six rounds of 67. Meanwhile, after making five birdies and a bogey in 17 holes, Scott suffered a disaster. He reached 18 and took two shots to get out of the bunker and was doubled bogey for a round two under 68, suddenly three behind the leader.

World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler and Corey Conners sided with Johnson at -3 and finished their round earlier in the day. Victor HovlandRyan Fox and Keegan Bradley with disillusioned Scott in -2.

McIlroy went back to a three-over 71 after nine holes, while Masters champion and world number 1 Jon Rahm dropped to an astonishing -6 to 76.
