PGA Championship

Live scores, updates and highlights from the first round of the 104th PGA Championship at Southern Hills.

Good morning all and welcome to our coverage of the 2022 PGA Championship. We've already had some excitement here in Tulsa with 56-year-old John Daly, who teed off first to start Round 1, sitting T1 on the leaderboard. Thankful we've arrived at the awesome level of early access and coverage we have today.— Justin Ray (@JustinRayGolf) May 19, 2022 Oh, and don't forget about Tiger Woods who is 1 under through his first two holes. Great start to the week for him. Homa's had a stellar year -- he won earlier this month at the Wells Fargo -- yet entered this week as a quasi-sleeper given the star power (and Tiger) in the field. The last time Rory McIlroy had 4 birdies in a row in the opening round of a major? His bunker shot missed for birdie and his par putt, well long, he left on the short side. Followed him this morning from the range to the putting green and he was missing just about every other one within 10 feet. Like earlier in his round, he missed his approach -- but this time paid the price. Missing birdie opportunities on his next two holes, the three-time major champion has since made two consecutive bogeys. CBS Sports will update this story with scores and highlights from the PGA Championship below. Reigning champion Phil Mickelson's curious absence looms over the event like a shadow after a late withdrawal, but the old guard will be well-represented still with Woods. He's six weeks removed from a slow finish to the Masters, where he made the cut in his first appearance in more than a year.

In his first tournament since the Masters in April, Woods finished his first nine holes at even par but soon ran into trouble.

Woods struck back with a birdie on 3, making a long putt that got his big gallery going. As if to illustrate this, John Daly was at even par through 16. He birdied the 14th as well with a 15-footer. But he gave that right back with a bad bunker shot on 4, rolling over and off the green and winding up with another bogey. Toward the end of his first nine holes, he appeared to start limping a little more. Woods returned to the majors at the Masters last month after missing more than 500 days of top-flight golf following the accident.

Jesse Mueller, winner of the PGA Professional Championship, couldn't have asked for a better way to begin his first appearance at the PGA Championship.

Starting on the par-4 10th hole at Southern Hills in this opening round Thursday afternoon, Mueller found the fairway off the tee and left himself 102 years with his approach … which he proceeded to holed out for eagle 2. Clad in a bright-purple get-up repping his school, the Grand Canyon University, where he’s general manager of the school-owned course and a volunteer assistant for the men’s and women’s teams, Mueller got to celebrate the moment with his wife, Jessie. She is on the bag this week in Tulsa, just as she was when Mueller won the PGA Professional Championship last month in Austin. As winner of last month’s PGA Professional Championship, Jesse Mueller is the proud leader of the PGA of America’s #TeamOf20 club pros getting the chance to go shot-for-shot with the best in the world at this week’s PGA Championship. He may not draw the fans of the Tiger/Rory/Spieth pairing, but that doesn’t mean that the 39-year-old from Scottsdale, Ariz., can’t make some noise of his own.

Woods made five bogeys in his final nine holes of the first round and he'll have to battle to make the 36-hole cut on Friday.

He had a shot to the green, but found the front bunker and made his first bogey. He made three straight bogeys starting at the 18th through the second, in each case failing to get up and down from around the green. After a birdie at the third with a nice approach, he bogeyed the fourth when he again hit a poor chip, and then could not get up and down from a bunker at the eighth. He added another birdie at the par-3 14th to get to 2 under par. He took some time to recover afterward, and then began the process of ramping up again. He struggled on bunker shots and had difficulty controlling pitch shots as well.

Fox shot an even-par 70 to open his campaign at the Southern Hills Championship Course in Tulsa while Rory McIlroy took an early lead over the field.

However he fell back to the middle of the pack with bogeys on the seventh and eighth to head into the back nine with an even score. That form looked to have come with him to the US as Fox fired an even-par 70 at the Southern Hills Championship Course in Tulsa after starting the day with early birdies on the third and fifth. Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox has made a solid start to the PGA Championship with an even opening round in Oklahoma on Friday.

Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox is near the head of the field after his opening round at the major.

I was struggling trying to get the ball on the green, and I missed quite a few iron shots both ways. At one point, Woods had five bogeys during an eight-hole stretch, and he added two more on his final two holes. "My leg is not feeling as good as I would like it to be," acknowledged Woods, who missed last year's tournament at Kiawah Island while recovering. Two early birdies that had him in the red seemed distant memories, replaced by mishits off the tee, wayward irons into the green, fliers out of bunkers and not enough made putts to save his round. "I got off to a great start and didn't keep it going," said Woods, who was often wincing down the stretch on a right leg that was nearly amputated 15 months ago. "I know it's going to be tough tomorrow but I'm certainly not worried about that in any way.

His best finish was tied for 27th in 2018 at Bellerive Golf Course. Fox was confirmed in the field for the second men’s major of the year on Tuesday on the back of his top-10 finish at the British Masters.

1. Rory McIlroy (-5) · T2. Will Zalatoris and Tom Hoge (-4) · T4. Justin Thomas, Matt Kuchar and Abraham Ancer (-3) · T7. Xander Schauffele, Cameron Smith and nine ...

Last seen at Augusta National, rust and potentially a hip injury are currently getting the better of Koepka. A pair of Masters champions, other players in contention to have played consistently well at Augusta National include: Rory McIlroy, Will Zalatoris, Patrick Reed, and many more. Four American players in the last 40 years have got their first PGA Tour win at a major championship. Collin Morikawa was the latest victim as he failed to get up and down for birdie on the par-5th. T66. Jordan Spieth and 22 others (+2): Spieth lost more than a stroke to the field putting in Round 1. The 2017 PGA Championship winner put together the best round of the afternoon and is well positioned heading into tomorrow. Justin Thomas was the star of the afternoon with a 3-under 67 but he was one of few under par. Signing for a 1-under 69, the former Oklahoma State Cowboy finds himself only four strokes behind Rory McIlroy. Earlier this season, the 30-year-old made his Masters debut where he finished in a tie for 14th. How he would hold up this week was always a question after he struggled to finish at the Masters last month, and it seems again a relevant concern as he looks to Friday with a real threat of missing the cut. 1. Rory McIlroy (-5): McIlroy's 5-under 65 was his lowest score in an opening round at a major since the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional, an event he went on to win. Tee to green, he was great, and his approach game was good enough to keep him in the hunt. Kuchar had a bogey-free front nine to spur him to an opening-round 67, during which he gained nearly two strokes on approach, which this week is the name of the game.

Jesse Mueller isn't like most golfers at the PGA Championship — but he still had perhaps the best moment of any of them on Thursday.

A bogey on the par-5th was his first substantial mistake, and he compounded the error when he missed a short par putt at the par-3 6th. The reigning PGA Club Pro champion added a birdie at the 17th — sandwiched by two bogeys — to turn in one-under 34. Such is life with golf at the highest level. With just 102 yards into a front pin, Mueller lofted a wedge high into the Oklahoma sky. Those differences didn’t mean a damn thing when he teed it up in the 12:47 p.m. at Southern Hills, though. In lieu of company logos dotting his ensemble, Mueller’s garb features the insignia of Grand Canyon University, where he’s a volunteer assistant coach.

After grabbing an early share of the lead with two birdies on his first five holes, the 15-time major champion and four-time Wanamaker Trophy winner labored ...

“Well, I just can’t load it,” Woods said when asked what his numerous injuries in his right leg, ankle and foot mean to his swing. On the par-4 ninth, he undercut his first flop shot from behind the green and had to hit another mini-flop shot. He had 85 yards for his third shot into the par-5 13th but blew it over into a back bunker (he saved par). On the par-4 first, he three-putted from just off the green from 60 feet. I was struggling trying to get the ball on the green, and I missed quite a few iron shots both ways. Pins, rods and needles were inserted to stabilize the leg, ankle and foot; many remain inside that lower portion of his body. “We’ll start the recovery process and get after it tomorrow.”

The beard, the pants, the golf cart are all part of John Daly's legend. And on Thursday at the PGA Championship, so was finding himself on the leaderboard ...

And then, well, the balloon actually did pop; bogeys on the four of his last five holes left Long John with a two-over 72, a round he might have been happy with at the start of the day if his day hadn’t started so well. As Rory McIlroy surged up the leaderboard, and the eyes of Oklahoma turned to the Supergroup, Daly made another birdie on 10, and for a good hour sat just two shots off the lead. When he has to wait, his mind intrudes, and she went on to claim that this was the reason he failed to sign his scorecard despite being relatively close to the lead at the Regions Tradition last Friday on the PGA Tour Champions. According to her, this was not a forgetful error, but a targeted protest at slow play—"he was making a point," she said, although it's not clear that he told anyone publicly. Then, the moment that had the greatest impact on the gallery: He walked to a cart and drove away. It wasn't easy keeping up with Daly, and on most tees the caddie simply handed him a driver and started trudging up the fairway to get a head start. This is the man who won this championship in 1991 at Crooked Stick, and this is the man who is tasked with taking the first shot of the tournament.

The 56-year-old two-time major champion, whose booming drives propelled him to win the PGA in 1991, drove the slopes and swales of Southern Hills in a golf cart ...

“You want to be able to go into that hole on Sunday — whoever is going to win this tournament — you want to have a cushion. He qualified for the 2012 U.S. Open and finished tied for 51st. The 39-year-old Mueller spent eight years trying to scratch out a career in pro golf before diverting to teaching and club work. His biggest obstacles in Tulsa were a couple of water hazards he could drive around by going under the ropes and briefly into the gallery. Then he dunked the ball straight into the cup from 102 yards out. By the end, Daly's 2-over 72 left him in no mood to talk and he skipped post-round interviews.

Rory McIlroy takes a one-shot lead into Friday's second round of the PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa. Tiger Woods is 9 back.

2:20 p.m. – Matt Kuchar, Cameron Davis, Rikuya Hoshino 8:49 a.m. – Dustin Johnson, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas 8:27 a.m. – Cameron Tringale, Hudson Swafford, Adam Hadwin 3:09 p.m. – Cameron Young, Sam Burns, Davis Riley ESPN+ will carry the entire alternate broadcast, which will also air from 2 to 5 p.m. ET on ESPN2. 2:47 p.m. – Patrick Reed, Justin Rose, Bubba Watson 2:25 p.m. – Viktor Hovland, Will Zalatoris, Cameron Smith 1:30 p.m. – Ryan Palmer, Robert MacIntyre, Alex Noren 9:06 a.m. – Zach Johnson, Russell Henley, Cameron Champ Friday’s forecast for Tulsa calls for highs reaching 89 and southwest winds blowing between 15 and 25 miles per hour early before calming down later in the afternoon. ESPN+ will stream the network's main broadcast coverage. Woods, seemingly favoring his injured right leg, bogeyed six of his final 10 holes to finish at 4-over.

The second Major of the year the PGA Championship starts today being played at Southern Hills in Oklahoma.

A golfer for most of his life, Sam started playing the game to prove he was the best player out of his father and two brothers. Phil has said some things that I think a lot of us who are committed to the Tour and committed to the legacy of the Tour have pushed back against, and he's taken some personal time, and we all understand that. I am now off to get a crate of Guinness and watch the golf in relaxation. All three hit fairway woods, and all three find the fairway as well. I've been watching for an hour and a half now, and there are lots of birdies to be had out there right now. And outside of three feet he can be deadly with the putter. Three birdies on the first four holes puts Zalatoris into the lead on his own. The wind looks like it is starting to get up after a nice and calm morning so far for the early starters. A long way to go, of course, but I can't really remember the last time he started a Major like this. It has been a pleasure to live blog with you guys for the last three hours. The Woods, McIlroy, Spieth group are 2hrs 10mins into their round and currently on the 8th green - looks to be a standard five hour round. Homa fans, I know there's a lot of you, I'm afraid he's just ended his front nine in a bad way with a three-putt double bogey at the 18th.

Live scores, updates and highlights from the second round of the 104th PGA Championship at Southern Hills.

CBS Sports will update this story with scores and highlights from the PGA Championship below. McIlroy, Thomas and others will look to separate themselves from the pack while names like Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth will attempt to make the cut. While the trio were unable to handle the difficult afternoon conditions at Southern Hills, Justin Thomas maintained.

Will Zalatoris and Tom Hoge start the day one back, while Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele and Matt Kuchar are among the other notable names in close pursuit.

Drop! Shane Lowry’s eagle putt on 13 skirts the left edge of the hole and just rolls past. A long iron from Shane Lowry (-1) sees him safely onto the green at the par-3 14th. He joins Rory McIlroy on (-5) with two birdies in his opening four holes on day two. The trio have all recorded three straight pars. Scottie Scheffler was the pre-tournament favourite after his Masters win but the American’s disappointing opening round of 71 leaves him six shots back. Will Zalatoris and Tom Hoge start the day one back, while Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele and Matt Kuchar are among the other notable names in close pursuit.

Lowry and Niemann are this morning's prime movers; the only other player out there currently two under for his round is Kevin Kisner, who has just followed up ...

Speaking of movers and shakers (which we were, sort of) there’s been some early action at the top of the leaderboard. He shot a very respectable 69 yesterday evening, and is following it up this morning, making birdie at the monster par-five 5th (660 yards today) and moving up to -2. Come the afternoon, the second wave of starters will be pleased to feel the wind drop - an average of ten to 15 mph with gusts no higher than 20 mph - but they will have to deal with cooler temperatures, showers, and possibly even thunderstorms. Shane Lowry wasn’t the happiest yesterday evening, effing and jeffing as he needlessly whistled a shot into water on the par-five 13th. Back-to-back birdies for Shane Lowry! This one comes at the par-three 14th, reward for knocking his tee shot to eight feet. He starts with four pars in a row, the latest a slightly disappointing one at the par-five 13th, any chance of birdie gone after spending an age moving pebbles in a bunker under a referee’s supervision only to take far too much of the ball with his chip out. He steps out of the shot a couple of times, and needs his caddy to convince him to execute their plan. A reminder that he tied for fourth in this championship last year, and tied for third at the Masters last month. A great chance to grab back a share of the lead is gone. Justin Thomas sends a fairly average second into 1, failing to take advantage of the excellent drive. Hitting three from the rough down the right, he overcooks a lob wedge, and his ball’s preparing to bound a good way past the hole. Does the investigative journalism lead to the cynicism or does the cynicism lead to the investigative journalist?

The sand at Southern HIlls has a mix of pebbles in it, and that's causing the competitors to second-guess every bunker shot.

“I didn't feel like there was a lot of sand in the bunkers,” he said after a 68. It's frustrating for sure to get in there and have a pebble kind of shoot your ball off-line, something you can't see. I changed wedges this week and put in much lower bounce, and I figured with the way the sand was, that kind of also helps because it's pretty firm.” “Some of them have no sand; some of them are good sand, whatever it is. "When we did the project with Gil [Hanse] and Jim Wagner, we actually took the sand out out and washed it to get the dirt out of it basically," says Cary Cozby, Southern Hills' director of golf. And then my right foot was pretty good, like normal, and under my ball was like hitting off this,” he said, pointing at the lectern he was standing on. “All the bunker shots sort of came out hot—the sand is a lot faster than I thought it would be," Woods said after a four-over 74. It's like, 'Is there a lot of sand here, is there not, how should I play it?'” The saucer-like, Augusta-esque bunkers have been replaced with sprawling old-school traps whose shape almost resemble a blob of slime. "It's kind of been that way all week, especially if you get up in the areas where it's not raked. He caught another one way too clean from a decent spot on the par-3 eighth, leading to another bogey. TULSA — Bunkers on the PGA Tour tend to be hazards in name only.

Mother Nature has another challenge in store at the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club. Wind, and lots of it.

On Friday, the tee boxes have been moved 19 yards forward, so the hole, which plays directly into the south wind, plays to a yardage of 471 yards. Several hole locations and tee boxes have been adjusted with the wind in mind. The wind brings unpredictability, not just off the tee and with irons, but also on putts.

He's now tied with Rory McIlroy at 5-under for the tournament. From that camera angle, it looked like the call was for sure going into the cup on the second bounce. Thomas stood and waited for the right “window” to make his swing on the short par-4 15th. There’s no reason to believe he can’t be a factor this weekend, though. We presume it's reversible and there's a word jumble on the other side. Only $115!

A great example of this is between Justin Thomas and caddy Bones Mackay. Just listen in. A quick story about Bones Mackay, Justin Thomas’ caddy: Mackay was in Tokyo as the on-course reporter for NBC during the Olympic tournament (ironic, because Thomas was in the field that weekend). Brian Windhorst from ESPN and I were walking with the leaders on Sunday. Now, Mackay and I had never met, but of course he recognized Brian, one of ESPN’s main NBA analysts.

Rory McIlroy has acknowledged he must avoid 'getting ahead of himself' after a brilliant opening round at the 104th PGA Championship at Southern Hills ...

"I don't think he needed to lead the tournament to feel better about himself, just get himself where he was under par, and what a great way to start. "He did it with some beautiful drives, whether they had to curve to the left or to the right, short holes and long holes, his iron play looked pretty good too. "I always enjoy playing with Tiger and Jordan. I did that really well today. "I've been carrying some good form. "I've been playing well coming in here," McIlroy said.

Justin Thomas refused to get carried away about the possibility of ending his major drought at the PGA Championship, despite setting the clubhouse target in ...

"We're halfway through so it's still a long way from home, but I'm very, very pleased with where everything is at and the frame of mind and state of mind that I'm in. I felt we did a great job of that and am glad to have a good round to show for it. The conditions were obviously very difficult.

The 2017 PGA champion took the clubhouse lead at 6 under after the morning wave of the second round, expertly negotiating windy conditions at Southern ...

A perfect kind of little slider driver and leaving that gap wedge just under the hole there and making that putt right in the middle. “I think it’s because I focus a lot more on what I'm trying to do in terms of the shot I'm trying to hit, the trajectory, the distance, and think less about golf swing,’’ he said. That was a sweet shot.’’ His last victory came at the 2021 Players Championship, where he hit 17 of 18 greens in the final round at TPC Sawgrass to shoot 64. On Saturday at the Players Championship, for example, when temperatures plummeted and winds howled, Thomas had one of the best rounds. But he went into a lull after that, going eight straight tournaments without a top 10.

Good news, golf fans! The 2022 PGA Championship continues on Friday, even if many have already declared Rory McIlroy the winner. The four-time major champ ...

Unfortunately for the Japanese player, he didn't make many birdies on Thursday on his way to a 79. It's been five years since his win at the 2017 PGA, and in that time, shockingly, he has just one other top-5 finish at a major. Another birdie for the two-time PGA champ at the par-5 fifth, which gets him to three under on his round and two over for the tournament. 11:45 p.m.: At four over, Dustin Johnson looks to be around the cut-line, which is currently projected to be between three over and five over, depending on the weather the rest of the day. It just misses to the right and he'll end the hole with a par. 12:06 p.m.: Just a few moments ago, Brooks Koepka drained a lengthy putt for birdie to get it to two under on the day, three over for the tournament. Already four under for the day, JT still has plenty of time to catch him (for the time being) and has certainly put himself in great position heading into the weekend. A birdie at the ninth, his final hole of the day, secures a second straight 67 for the 14-time PGA Tour winner. Remember, Thomas is on the bad side of "the draw," and he's still tied for the lead. Still far too early to discuss the weekend for JD, but if he makes it that far it will be his first made cut in a major since the 2012 PGA Championship. Fitzy is at three under, three back of Justin Thomas. His best finish in a major came at the 2016 Masters, where he tied for seventh. The 27-year-old just birdied the 10th and 11th holes to begin his round, which vaults him to four under and two off the lead.

Expectations were sky high for Scottie Scheffler this week at the 104th PGA Championship. Many were running with an old quote in which Scheffler called ...

Scheffler arrived this week having connected on seven consecutive top-20 finishes in major championships, including two top-10 finishes in his two PGA Championship appearances. Early in the championship, Scheffler's name was on the first page of the leaderboard as he made an impressive eagle on the par-5 fifth and reached 2 under. After making nine consecutive pars to begin his second round, Scheffler's hopefulness remained as he sat well inside the cut line at 1 over.

Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth are among the stars battling the PGA Championship cut line on Friday. Here's the projected cut for the weekend.

Spieth is two over early in his round, so he has a couple of strokes to play with, but Woods is three over and will have to be more careful. So, if you wanna have a chance at playing the weekend and contending in this PGA Championship, you have to go shoot a score. The cut line remains four over par. The double drops him to five over, and he’s now one outside the cut line with seven to play. UPDATE (7 p.m. ET): Woods with his best birdie of the day on No. 16. He found the fairway and stuck it to inside five feet from 209 yards out.

Aaron Wise was hit on the head by a wayward tee shot from Australia's Cameron Smith at the 2022 PGA Championship.

to sports presenter Garrett Johnston, Wise said "there was a little bit of ringing in my head, and I was down on the fairway. Then I felt pretty normal after that." The 25-year-old was able to complete the final few holes of his second round, making pars on the seventh and eighth holes -- he began his round on the 10th hole -- finishing with a bogey on his final hole.

TULSA, Okla. — Aaron Wise and Joel Dahmen were walking down the seventh hole — their 16th of the day — when they reached Dahmen's golf ball.

He missed the eighth green to the left but hit a nifty chip to three feet there, too, and saved par again. Wise missed the green right but hit a nifty chip to five feet and rolled in the putt. Wise was one over par for the round and even for the tournament at the time. “He was definitely shook getting into his next shot, for sure,” Dahmen said. Smith appeared to be aimed down the right side of the fairway but misfired, one-handing the club through impact and immediately signaling to the right. He told several members of his team that he was “fine,” but headed to receive medical attention immediately after.

Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm turned Southern Hills' first hole into their own personal long-drive competition on Friday.

But we can’t think of a better way to kick off another beautiful spring afternoon in front of the TV. Go get ‘em boys. It held against the wind, threatened to break clean from the planet’s gravitational pull for a moment, and then arched serenely back to earth some 409 yards later. It was one for the highlight reel Twitter feed, but golf fans barely had time to scrape their jaws off the pavement before Jon Rahm—the greatest driver in the realm according to ye olde stats—arrived at the first tee to (re)assert his distance dominance.

Justin Thomas and his caddie Jim "Bones" Mackay discuss what club to hit into the 18th green during the second round of PGA Championship.

JT had the low round in the afternoon wave Thursday, and shot a 1-under 34 on his opening nine Friday to get within a shot of first-round leader Rory McIlroy, who tees off Friday afternoon with Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth. Another great moment happened Friday morning when Justin Thomas and his caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay, were discussing what club to hit into the 18th green of Southern Hills Country Club during the second round of the 104th PGA Championship. It’s rare to capture a conversation between player and caddie during a golf broadcast because most of the time the broadcasters can’t shut their mouths.

(The 2020 Masters winner, Dustin Johnson, did not have a chance to play the PGA Championship as the reigning Masters champion, but did miss the cut at the 2021 ...

I want to be able to play the weekend and try to grind it out as hard as I could. “Definitely frustrating,” Scheffler said of his third missed cut in a major. It's the fourth time in the last five PGA Championships that the reigning Masters champion missed the cut: Tiger Woods (2019), Patrick Reed (2018) and Sergio Garcia (2017) all failed to make it to the weekend.

Meanwhile, veteran Bubba Watson lead the charge up the leaderboard.

Wise was hit by an errant shot while on the seventh hole during the second round of the tournament.

Wise’s hit to the head from a tee shot ball comes a day after ESPN anchor Sage Steele was reportedly struck in the face by Jon Rahm’s errant shot. Wise was seen holding a bottle of water against his head after he was hit.

History and a $12 million purse are on the line at the 104th PGA Championship at Southern Hills this weekend. With more than $2 million being shelled out to ...

Players who finish inside the top 26 will collect a six-figure payday thus easing the pain of any potential close call at the year's second major championship. Cameron Smith banked $3.6 million for his victory at TPC Sawgrass, and runner-up Anirban Lahiri came away with $2.18 million, slightly more than what this week's champion will make. With more than $2 million being shelled out to the eventual winner, those who find themselves near the top of the leaderboard by tournament's end will not go home empty handed even if it means doing so without the Wanamaker Trophy.

Those to miss the cut included the world No 1 and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, who whacked his bag with a club during a Friday morning fit of pique. I felt I did a great job of that and am glad to have a good round to show for it. Hopefully it’s a sign of things are changing a little bit for me and open a few more doors on other golf courses.” Fitzpatrick’s 68-69 means a three-under aggregate. Thomas has played in by far the most severe of the Tulsa weather. A 64 from Pereira, the 27-year-old Chilean, was already in the books before Zalatoris putted out for a 65. He explained why having his father as a coach was sometimes problematic on the basis of an occasional lack of blunt analysis.

Ryan Fox sits just outside the top 20 after posting another even-par 70 in Tulsa while some other big names have missed the cut.

His best result at a major to date is a tie for 16th at the British Open in 2019. After starting his day on the back nine Saturday (NZ time) with a birdie on the 13th, Fox looked to be in a bit of trouble early when he collected a double bogey followed by a bogey on the 14th and 15th respectively. Fox shot another even-par 70 in the second round of the tournament at the Southern Hills Championship Course in Tulsa, Oklahoma, leaving him even-par overall at the halfway mark in a tie for 23rd.

TULSA, Okla. — How do you shoot 63 in a major championship? If you're Bubba Watson, you change driver shafts and get lucky on the greens — at least that's ...

“I told my caddie I was going to hit it in the rough because I wanted to get that out of my head,” Watson said. “My putts bounced my way, and they went in today,” Watson said. So being able to hit driver gets me into the round, gets me full swings and things.” He hit a 5-iron down the fairway and then a 60-degree wedge (bent to 63 degrees) for one of his nine birdies of the round. “If you really want to go through my round, I was nervous on every single shot. It's roughly 90 grams, so I switched to a 60-gram shaft, and as I get older, clubhead speed — even though it doesn't sound like very much, it's a lot when it comes to the golf swing.”

New Zealand golfer Ryan Fox has battled his way to another solid round at the PGA Championship that's left him amongst the leaders at the halfway stage of.

Woods looked to be headed home after his double bogey on the par-3 11th, where he went from the high grass framing a stream to the bunker on the other side of the green. Hot is a popular term in these parts, particularly with memories of 100-plus degrees in August when the PGA was last at Southern Hills in 2007 and Woods won by two. He was 10 shots behind in his bid to get the major keeping him from the career Grand Slam. He dropped only one shot on his way to another 67 that set a daunting target for Rory McIlroy and everyone else in the afternoon. That was his only one in a round of 71 that left him five shots behind. He hit another through a gap in the trees to 7 feet. McIlroy got the good side of the draw and failed to seize on the moment. "When I got out of position, I got the most out of it." He opened with a shot from the rough that tumbled across the length of the green to 2 feet. Bubba Watson had a shot at the first 62 in PGA Championship history. Playing on a battered right leg from his car crash 15 months ago, Woods was outside the cut line after a double bogey on the par-3 11th hole. Once again, his short game let him down as he took three shots to gap the 10 metres he had left to the pin.

He limped, occasionally used a driver like a cane, before rallying with two birdies over the final six holes.

A double bogey followed and he was in danger of ending the week early. On the ninth, he was clenching his jaw before hitting out of the rough into an uphill green. I want to be able to play the major championships. On the steep slope off the No. 1 tee on Saturday (NZ time), Woods has used his driver like a cane to ease his way down the hill. He didn't play again until returning to the PGA, a championship he has won four times, most recently in 2007 at Southern Hills. The stairs off the No. 10 tee were also slow going. They’re going to be the biggest tournaments. “Just the fact that I’m able to play golf again and play in our biggest championships,” the 15-time major champion said. He said just about everything made his leg hurt that day before he left the course for a night of physical therapy and ice baths. He opened with a 4-over 74. I’ve won tournaments -- not major championships, but I’ve won tournaments on the cut number,” Woods said after he gingerly walked the few steps up to the stage for his post-round interview. “You can’t win the tournament if you miss the cut.

The Kiwi finds himself inside the top 25 on the leaderboard at the major's halfway mark.
