As the second day of the PGA Championship unfolds, a group of players is currently tied for the lead at three-under-par. Despite his previous success at the Masters, Rory McIlroy has struggled to replicate his performance and faces the risk of missing the cut.
On the first day of the tournament, Northern Irishman McIlroy maintained a level-par score for most of the round. However, a series of errors towards the end caused him to plummet down the rankings, finishing the day with four consecutive bogeys, leaving him at four-over-par and in a challenging position.
Another notable player facing potential elimination is Bryson DeChambeau, who had a difficult start with a double-bogey and erratic shots. Similarly, Viktor Hovland encountered challenges on the back nine, putting him in a precarious situation.
In a separate incident, Jon Rahm expressed frustration during the opening round, leading him to damage the turf after a poor shot on the seventh hole. Despite this, Rahm managed to recover and finished with a respectable one-under-par 69, trailing the early clubhouse leader by just two strokes.
