not in a good place mentally with the putter in his hands.
Gorgeous day out there today. Best weather in days. Course was very get gettable with soft receptive greens. More rain in the forecast too. Should be a very god weekend with plenty of birdies to be had. I like Stenson to win a second major in a row.
T1. Jimmy Walker (-9): Walker had a chance to set the 36-hole PGA Championship scoring record over the final two holes, but he finished par-bogey at the only two par 5s on the course. He still holds the lead, but you have to wonder how it would have changed the tournament if he'd done what Rickie Fowler did and gone birdie-eagle at the end or something similar.
T1. Robert Streb (-9): I don't know if Streb can win, but maybe he should pretend like every tournament is a PGA Championship. Robert Streb doesn't have a top-10 in any of his last 27 PGA Tour starts. His last top-10? Last year's PGA at Whistling Straits.
T3. Emiliano Grillo (-7): I told you Grillo had staying power. He backed up his 66 on Thursday with a 67 on Friday and will be in the mix all weekend.
T3. Jason Day (-7): Day had a stretch of seven birdies in eight holes and had a legitimate chance at shooting 63 with a double bogey on his card. He's the man to beat going into the weekend even though he doesn't lead.
5. Henrik Stenson (-6): The only part of Stenson's game better than his shots right now is his press conferences. "I think a 63 on Sunday would work pretty well here, too," Stenson joked after dropping a 67-67 to start the PGA Championship.
T6. Martin Kaymer (-5): I still cannot get over that we are two rounds from Martin Kaymer (!) having three major championships. Why is nobody else talking about this fact? Kaymer made three birdies in his final four holes to save a round that was going in the wrong direction.
T6. Patrick Reed (-5): Reed breathed some life into the tournament early on Thursday with a run of seven birdies (to two bogeys). He still does not have a top 10 at a major to his name, but you have to think that streak is getting broken sooner rather than later.
T6. Brooks Koepka (-5): Koepka is following up his top 10 at last year's PGA Championship with another impressive performance this season. Beware the injured golfer. Koepka still sporting a pretty significant splint on his injured right ankle, so clearly not 100% but still contending.
T9. Rickie Fowler (-4): Fowler finished birdie-eagle on Friday afternoon to get back in the mix. He's quietly had two really solid 68s and said he played even better on Friday than he did on Thursday. I believe that's what folks in the business like to call "trending." He'll keep trending towards a Sunday afternoon pairing.
T9. Harris English (-4): Normally a lights-out ball-striker, English is putting out of his mind this week. He's inside the top 10 in strokes gained putting after two rounds. If that trend continues over the final two rounds, he'll have a real chance to win the golf tournament.
T9. Jamie Donaldson (-4): Donaldson sort of sneaked into the top 10 at the very end of the day with birdies in two of the last five holes. His best finish at a major championship is T7 at the 2012 PGA Championship.
T9. Hideki Matsuyama (-4): Matsuyama had an eagle, two birdies and two bogeys on his front nine on Friday if you were wondering how steep that roller coaster is.
today. He played during the afternoon, starting his round on 10. He had the benefit of playing nearly distraction free, because there was no one on the course for his back nine, which was 1-9. The entire gallery was on the back nine watching Rory, Phil, and Day. The guy was dropping birdies all over the place with minimal crowds around. I think it helped him. It will be a lot different for him tomorrow.
Day still has the two Par 5s to play and could be leading this thing before the day is over
Day putting on a clinic with the putter in that same group.
Rory similarly putting poorly. He is a mess with the putter.
