Spectators at the PGA Championship will be in for a treat on Friday if the second round provides near as much excitement as we saw on Thursday in the first round. Rory McIlroy commanded the solo lead at Southern Hills after carding a 5-under 65 but will not tee off until later in the afternoon Friday, which means he may be playing catch up if someone goes out and posts a big number early. Playing alongside Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods, the trio's crowd could best be described as a circus.
While McIlroy adequately handled the conditions and atmosphere, both Spieth and Woods lagged behind. Spieth signed for a 2-over 72 and Woods a 4-over 74. With their playing competitor hoping to widen his margin at the top of the leaderboard, the Americans will simply be hoping to make it through to the weekend when they tee off at 2:36 p.m. ET. Follow live leaderboard updates from Round 2.
Many of those attempting to chase down McIlroy are featured Friday afternoon as they were treated to the calmer conditions in Round 1. There are notable names including Cameron Smith, Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele, but Will Zalatoris looks to be a man possessed this week.
A winner at Southern Hills at the 2014 Trans-Mississippi Amateur, Zalatoris' putter came to his aid on Thursday en route to a 4-under 66. If that club continues to cooperate, the Wake Forest product should add to his stellar major championship résumé which already boasts four top-10 finishes in only seven starts.
There are a number of star-studded groups, particularly Friday afternoon, but with the potential for thunderstorms, they may be taken on and off the golf course. The morning wave should feature no interruptions which means neither will your viewing experience. Below are a few of the favorites set to tee off early in Round 2.
8:38 a.m. -- Shane Lowry, Brooks Koepka, Adam Scott
8:49 a.m. -- Dustin Johnson, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas
9:11 a.m. -- Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa, Scottie Scheffler
