Here’s the full leaderboard after the second round of this year’s final major: The big story for McIlroy on Thursday was his putter. Per the PGA Tour’s official Twitter account, he finished 152nd in strokes gained from putting and took some late-night practice sessions...

Phil Mickelson had to fight his way back to the cut line just to make it to the weekend at this year’s PGA Championship, which he was able to do with an even-par 70 in the second round on Friday. Things looked dire for Mickelson on the opening hole when he fired a triple-bogey seven to start the day four over. He rebounded nicely with birdies on Nos. 3, 8 and 11 to secure his position on Saturday. Lefty will be playing for pride over the next two days, as it’s nearly impossible to imagine he will make up the 11-shot difference between himself and co-leaders Jimmy...

Jordan Spieth might be the one golfer whose stride says more about how he’s playing than his swing. The 23-year-old Texan was back in form on Friday, brimming with confidence with each step at the PGA Championship as he took aim at claiming the year’s final major. Spieth’s three-under score of 67 in the second round vaulted him up the leaderboard while also providing an unerring response to anyone who thinks he’s a lesser player now than in 2015, when he captured the Masters and U.S. Open. That 2015 run, the hottest spurt golf has seen since Tiger Woods was in his prime,...

Going into the first round of the PGA Championship, it appeared likely that U.S. Open winner Dustin Johnson and two-time PGA champion Rory McIlroy would have a chance to dominate the leaderboard. That’s not very likely after 18 holes, as Johnson blew up with a 77 and McIlroy struggled to a 74. However, Jimmy Walker was more than happy to take up the slack as he raced out to a first-round lead after shooting a five-under 65. The 37-year-old rode a red-hot putter to gain a one-stroke lead over Martin Kaymer along with relative unknowns Emiliano Grillo and Ross Fisher. Walker has had a...

A late surge by defending PGA champion Jason Day has put him in contention as the 2016 event moves into the weekend at Baltrusol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey. A string of seven birdies in eight holes gave Day a 65 for the day and moved him within two shots of leaders Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb, who will play in the final pairing on Saturday tied at nine under par. Streb made history as just the 30th golfer ever to card 63 at a major with his impressive second round.
