Henrik Stenson's remarkable run of play continued on Day 2 at the 2016 PGA Championship.

Less than two weeks removed from a record-setting win at the British Open, Stenson has proven he's still in complete control of his game, notching a second consecutive score of 67 to sit at six under halfway through the tournament and top the leaderboard early on Friday. 

The Swedish golfer hasn't posted the best totals on either day, but the consistency has him in a strong position to win the second major of his career. 

Here's a live look at the leaderboard as Friday's action continues:

Though he topped the leaderboard after the morning wave of golfers, Stenson's day wasn't as strong as Patrick Reed's, who is in a lofty position thanks to a second-round score of 65. The back nine has been crucial to Reed's rocketing up the standings. On Thursday, he hit three birdies without a bogey on the back nine. Friday, it was four birdies without a blemish. 

Birdies are wonderful and all, but eagles are better. So check out Hideki Matsuyama pulling the string on his second shot on the No. 2 hole Friday, courtesy of the PGA Championship: 



The 24-year-old Matsuyama is one of several high-profile players chasing their first majors. The season so far has seen a first-time winner take home the trophy at each major.

If the likes of Matsuyama or Reed can break through and win at Baltusrol, it would continue the trend and give golf fans plenty to think about as they head into the latter portion of the PGA Tour season and get excited for what's to come in 2017. 

Other players who are in the mix include Jordan Spieth, who improved upon...
