PGA Championship

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.

Going to watch live sports has been increasing in price as years have gone by, but enough is enough for Justin Thomas.

"I just saw it and I was blown away," he said. He said it was something that had been commented on in the changing room among his fellow players. Gotta treat the fans better than that!"

Woods could make only wry jokes after a painful and disappointing first round at the P.G.A. Championship.

The smile that Woods brought to the beginning of his news conference was dissipating. If I would have hit the ball solidly on those two holes and put the ball in the fairway, I would have been fine.” But on Thursday, as McIlroy and the third golfer in the grouping, Jordan Spieth, launched drivers far down the fairway, Woods was hitting long irons and playing for position. Even after Woods rallied for a birdie three holes later, another bunker shot on the next hole sailed over the green and led to yet another bogey. “I wouldn’t have been so far back if I would have hit the iron shot solid and put the ball in the fairway,” he said. While watching Woods play on Thursday, it was easy to wonder if some of his troubles on the golf course were related to a lack of preparation off it, especially for someone like Woods who was once renowned for exhausting work habits. Keep in mind that some people think Woods was the greatest pressure putter of golf’s modern era. Woods with a wedge or a putter in his hands had always been commanding and cocksure. “Yeah, not feeling as good as I would like it to be,” he said with a smile. A couple of holes later, Woods was limping a lot, even sometimes using a golf club like a cane to ascend or descend hills. What was once unthinkable for him — playfully mocking his poor play on the golf course — is one of his new, winsome tools. TULSA, Okla. — Tiger Woods has a good sense of humor, though it is rare for him to use it in a public setting.

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.

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.

On Thursday, six weeks after his stirring comeback at the Masters Tournament, Woods returned to competitive golf in the first round of the P.G.A. Championship.

The smile that Woods brought to the beginning of his news conference was dissipating.

TULSA, Okla. — Tiger Woods has a good sense of humor, though it is rare for him to use it in a public setting.

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.

The current cut line at the 2022 PGA Championship is 2 over par. The PGA Championship began with a 156-player field in 2022. The PGA Championship cut rules are a bit more forgiving than those on display at the Masters, where only the top 50 (including ties) advance.

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.

On the ninth hole of the first round, Tiger Woods slammed his golf club into the ground in frustration.

"The game is just different," Woods said. "The sand is a lot faster than I thought it would be." If I would have hit the ball solidly on those two holes and put the ball in the fairway, I would have been fine." "Kind of been that way all week, especially if you get up in the areas where it's not raked... I just can't load it. It's just golf.

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.

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?

Incredibly, it’s the first time since the 2014 PGA Championship that Rory has led a major round at the end of play.

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.

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.

Golf is a very hard game. The two-time major champ hit a bad tee shot on the very difficult par-4 18th hole and he knew immediately after hitting it that it was a bad tee shot. You know that if you’ve played it and you know that if you’re watching the pros play today in the second round of the very windy PGA Championship at Southern Hills CC in Tulsa.

Rory McIlroy will look to extend his lead as Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods battle to make the weekend.

There are notable names including Cameron Smith, Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele, but Will Zalatoris looks to be a man possessed this week. Spieth signed for a 2-over 72 and Woods a 4-over 74. Rory McIlroy commands the solo lead at Southern Hills after carding a 5-under 65 in the early hours of Thursday. Playing alongside Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods, the trio's crowd could best be described as a circus.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

Calm conditions on Thursday morning greeted the early starters before a windier afternoon, whilst the late starters on Friday are set to get the better weather.

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.

TULSA, Okla. – An approaching cold front and winds that are forecast to gust to 40 mph on Day 2 at the PGA Championship has prompted officials to leave ...

John Daly shot a two-over 72 during the first round of the PGA Championship. Then, in quintessential form, he went to Hooters and the casino.

Next to him was a brown paper bag, two packs of smokes, an ashtray and a Diet Coke. Say what you will, but we’ll add this: There have been four other major championships played at Southern Hills in the Daly era — the 1994 PGA, the 2001 U.S. Open, the 2007 PGA and last year’s Senior PGA — and there have been reports of Daly casino visits at two of them. The restaurant’s Instagram account also shared a slightly different version of the photo and alerted fans that his son, John Daly II, would be there “later” Friday. And a casino player. And a smoker. There he was, taking a photo with a half-dozen Hooters waitresses outside the restaurant’s Tulsa location — a 15-minute drive east of the course, Google maps tells you.

When it comes to living their life, their way, no one does it quite like John Daly.

He begins Friday's second round two-over par, seven shots behind leader Rory McIlroy, so we'll see if Daly's routine of wings and slots will catch on with his fellow players. Daly was in the first group off the tee in the first round, and he started well, birding the first and fifth holes to move close to the top of the leaderboard. And for one of golf's more colorful personalities, Daly celebrated after his first round in the most "John Daly" way.

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.

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.

With impressive length off the tee — he averaged 312.2 yards in driving distance Friday — he was able to par the challenging first two par-4 holes, which both measured more than 480 yards long. He wants to make sure he does everything he can so that he makes it feel like we have the best chance we can to win. Battling gusting, swirling winds at the Southern Hills Country Club, Thomas mixed patience and aggression to shoot his second consecutive three-under-par 67 and position himself among the leaders. TULSA, Okla. — With a father and a grandfather who were golf instructors, Justin Thomas always had the genes for excellence in the sport. “I have not even close to performed well in my entire career in majors,” he said last month. After winning the P.G.A. Championship in 2017, Thomas has come up short in major tournaments.

Sage Steele was reportedly hospitalized briefly in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after she was hit in the face by a Jon Rahm tee shot on Thursday.

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.

American holds one-shot lead over Mito Pereira at Southern Hills · Rory McIlroy hits 71 but still in picture five shots off leader.

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.

On a difficult day at Southern Hills, Tiger Woods proved yet again why he's one of the game's gutsiest players with a Round 2 score of 69.

His recovery shot found the bunker, and he failed to get it up and down from there. A par on the 9th left him at four over overall through 27 holes. Woods posted his first birdie of the day on the 660-yard par-5 5th, knocking his 108-yard approach to five feet and draining the putt.

He made a gallant effort in the second round but instead of needing two more birdies on his final seven holes, he made two bogeys and shot 70. But he finished his first-round 73 with three consecutive bogeys, then made five more in his second-round 74. But a disastrous snowman on the par-4 17th in his opening-round 77 proved too much to overcome. Daly was inside the cutline for much of the second round but an inward nine of 5-over-par 40, which included a double on the seventh, did him in. He had no answer starting the second round as he turned in 4-over 39 en route to a 75. Scheffler scrambled throughout his 36 holes – he made just three birdies and an eagle against nine bogeys and a double bogey – and missed his first cut since the fall. In his opening-round 71 – his first round over par in two months – he made four bogeys in his last seven holes on the back nine. And then he went to play slots in a casino, just as he did in 2007. And then his two days here were a tail of two woeful nines. With rounds of 70-72, Shane Lowry extended the longest active streak of cuts made in major to 12. A total of 79 players made the cut and will play the weekend. Bubba Watson shot 63 in the second round.

During his trip to the PGA Championship, Daly led the tournament, made a trip to Hooters, and spent some time at a local casino.

Even when he dunked another ball at the seventh and made a double bogey, the fans still cheered him as he huffed and puffed back to the cart. He hopped into his cart and parked it next to his black Cadillac courtesy car without ever stopping in the clubhouse to change his shoes. As soon as he finished his first round on Thursday, he blew off reporters just as he skipped out on the Champions dinner on Tuesday and high-tailed it to Hooters, the restaurant chain where his son John III, who plays golf at his dad’s alma mater, Arkansas, has a NIL deal. At the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills, Daly donated a reported $30,000 to the local casino in town. “Unreal. What a legend.” Still, he beat World No. 2 Jon Rahm, reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year Patrick Cantlay, and 15-time major champion Tiger Woods. Playing the weekend was a real possibility.

Scottie Scheffler made just three birdies and an eagle against nine bogeys and a double bogey over 36 holes. He missed his first cut since the fall.

"You know, obviously, there's a lot of adrenaline in the body after something like that happens," Wise said. Wise finished off his round at two-over 72 to make the cut at one over. "It was a glancing blow, but the ball took off another 40 or 50 yards down the fairway. It was loud." "I've got a long 36 holes ahead of me," he said. It ended up in the rough.

It's an extremely crowded leaderboard as the third round is set to get underway from Southern Hills Country Club on Saturday morning. Will Zalatoris currently ...

The first two rounds of the 2022 PGA Championship are officially in the books. Will Zalatoris currently sits atop the 2022 PGA Championship leaderboard at 9-under par, while Mito Pereira sits just one shot off the lead.

Bubba Watson matches course record while Rory McIlroy shares fifth, but biggest crowds follow Woods as he continues comeback after his car crash last year.

From fledgling superstars, current and former World No. 1s to the reigning FedEx Cup champ, here are the notables that missed the cut in Tulsa.

Cantlay finished T-9 at the Masters and followed with a T-3 at the PGA at Bethpage in 2019. Despite being just down the road from his college town, Wolff went 76-77 to miss the weekend. Still, his performance was far from pretty, shooting a 73 on Thursday and struggling mightily Friday to an 80. Garcia has now missed the cut in 11 of his last 16 major championships, with zero top 15s in that stretch. Dustin Johnson - For the third time in his last six majors starts Johnson won’t see the weekend. Scottie Scheffler - The Masters champ had been lights out on golf’s biggest stages, finishing T-8 or better in five of the last seven majors.

Meet Mito Pereira, the ascending PGA Tour pro who stormed into contention on Friday at the PGA Championship.

The 27-year-old turned professional in 2015, and competed on both the Korn Ferry Tour and the PGA Tour Latinoamerica in the near-decade since. Pereira’s back-to-back wins in late 2021 (following a February 2020 victory) locked up the exemption, which gave him the right to play a full PGA Tour schedule in 2022 and beyond. The exact moment that Pereira became a PGA Championship contender is, of course, a matter of interpretation. Pereira has only been around at the highest level of the pro game since the 2020-21 season, but he’s been playing professional golf for much longer. On Saturday at Southern Hills, Pereira will join Zalatoris in the final pairing with a legitimate chance to put himself in the driver’s seat on moving day at a major championship. Here are five things to know about the PGA’s surprise contender, Mito Pereira.

The ball left a mark on Wise's hat and the 25-year-old applied an ice pack to the injury before recovering to card a two-over 72 and make the cut. Wise, ranked 91 in the world, was examining his ball on the fairway of the seventh hole when he was hit in the head by a shot from Australian Smith, who was playing the adjoining par-four second.

Rory McIlroy is very much in the mix at Southern Hills. But on Friday he missed a big, big chance.

He blew the field away at Congressional in '11 and Kiawah in '12, and though his dual victories at the Open and the PGA in '14 were closer, he held leads after the second and third rounds in both. According to McIlroy, the pressure of being in the lead wasn't the issue. They're good drives, but it's a massive difference between being on the fairway and being in this rough." TULSA — The situation on the ground Friday developed in a way that seemed to lead the golf mind inexorably back to the land of capital-N Narrative: mid-career Rory McIlroy was too close to the lead at a major championship, and mid-career Rory McIlroy tumbled. His approach and putting game were the chief culprits, representing a major reversal from Thursday's excellence; where he was 18th and fourth in strokes gained in those categories in Round 1, he finished 105th and 83rd on Friday. A bogey on the second hole, in which he flew his approach 20 yards past the hole into the right rough, set the tone, and another poor approach on No. 7 saw him slip further. Mito Pereira and Will Zalatoris were the thoroughbreds, but every single one of the best 15 golfers improved his score on the day—sometimes dramatically—save for two.
