US PGA Championship

[sismanhatton]

Up until the Masters he'd been in superb form this season, best on the planet - sensed he may have been getting back to his best (which, imho, is the best in the world when he's on his game).

However, if you're not performing in Majors then there has to be questions asked.

He not comfortable with the putter in his hand for sometime now although he is seeing Brad Faxton with coaching putting.

If he's off line with driver it puts more pressure around green and particularly his putting.

Rory has just birdy the last 2 holes, commentator mentioned the McIlroy group have only hit 10 fairways between them with 4 holes to play.

Good fight back by Rory to get back to +4

Needs to make the cut though will it be enough if he stays there?

Hope for a few bad rounds from afternoon starters

Rich Been hit 30 for the back 9

Back to +3 now, right on the projected cut line

Finished +3 so will definitely make the cut

The yank crowds are bellends here

Some start by koepka, birdies 1&2!

Must be like being in a bear pit in that group. The gallery is made up of drunken bellends

There were some right bellends about last night. Will only be worse tonight with tiger there.

Given the state of Woods body I reckon he'd rather miss the cut than trudge round a brute of a course for another 36 holes with no chance of winning. Given he hasn't played since the masters and never done any practice holes Wednesday he's obviously not feeling great

Can see Tiger missing the cut here the way he is going on.

Koepka is doing alright like

Koepka playing vintage Woods-esque Golf.

Could be wrong but don't ever remember him winning like this, basically dominating and killing the competition stone dead this early.

 

[FootballFan]

Koepka is in danger of demolishing the whole competition in the same way Rory did in the US Open after his Masters collapse.

Its impressive.

Still a long way to go yet, but he's not looking like there's a meltdown on the way. Unreal performance from him so far.

McGinley is very fond of his statistics for everything.

 

[chelt_mackem]

Unbelievable score from Koepka leading by 7 shots going into the weekend.

It'll be a bit different for him to lead a major without the Tiger fanfare now that he's missed the cut.

 

[FootballFan]

Has Woods not made the cut? He finished +5 right?

Top 70 and ties go through to the weekend, so +4 or better. Woods is therefore out along with some other big names. Rahm, Garcia, DeChambeau and Reed have all missed out as well.

 

[redandwhiterob]

Superb by Koepta last night. The birdie on the 18th summed the whole thing up.

You would think he needs to shoot +4 over the weekend to have a chance of losing it. Makes a big difference of course the leaders play in the same conditions. If the conditions are good enough for the chasing pack to shoot 67 you cant see Brooks shooting over par

Look like leaders are off at 7.50 UK time
