The 2014 PGA Championship is set up for an exciting second half thanks to a leaderboard full of many high-profile players.

Rory McIlroy leads the way entering Day 3 thanks to his consistent play in the first two rounds. He is seeking to win his third tournament in a row after earning titles at the Open Championship and the Bridgestone Invitational.

Jason Sobel of Golf Channel points out how focused he was on Friday:
