The leadership of Scottie Scheffler (who can return world number 1), Viktor Hovland (68 67) and Corey Conners (67 68). And again: Jon Rahm's reaction and Francesco Molinari's exit. In the US, the second round of the PGA Championship delivered the first verdicts. In Rochester, New York, Scheffler (67 68) with a total of 135 (-5) hits leads the leaderboard with the Norwegian and the Canadian. With one success (but even a fourth place could be enough for him) the American would oust the Spaniard Jon Rahm from the throne, who moved up from 117th to 48th place with 144 (+4) in the PGA Championship. Where was Chicco Molinari eliminated (147, +7), disappointing.
Pga Championship, resultsAt the Oak Country Club (East Course, par 70), in the second men's Major of 2023, Bryson DeChambeau with 137 (-3) occupies the 4th position with Justin Su and precedes by a single shot another ace of the Arab Superleague, Brooks Koepka, 6/o with 138 (-2) and winner of the PGA Championship in both 2018 and 2019. Among the big names, good performance also for Rory McIlroy. Number 3 in the world the Northern Irishman, who this event already made him in 2012 and 2014, is 10 / o with 140 (par).
Curiosity: in the first 36 holes there are only nine competitors who have recorded a score under par.
Justin Thomas (outgoing champion) and Jordan Spieth (whose dream of completing the Grand Slam has almost vanished) survived, both 59/i with 145 (+5).
The PGA Championship (in English: PGA Championship) is an annual golf tournament organized by the American PGA as part of the PGA Tour, although it is also part of the European Tour. This championship is one of the so-called majors in golf, and it is the second of the majors that are played every year, now in the month of May (before it was played in August but after this change there is a major every month from April to July ).
The budget for prizes in the 2006 edition amounted to 6.8 million dollars (5.3 million euros, approximately). Since 1991, the tournament has been broadcast in the United States by the CBS television network.
As in other majors, winning the tournament grants the player who wins certain privileges: the PGA champion is automatically invited to participate in the other three majors (the Augusta Masters, the United States Open and the British Open in Golf) for the next five years, and will be exempt from playing PGA qualifying for life. He also becomes a member of the PGA Tour for the next five years and earns an automatic invite to play The Players tournament for the next five years.
Throughout its history, the PGA tournament has been held at various courses throughout the United States.
