Birdie for Robert MacIntyre
MacIntyre -3 (5*)
MacIntyre's eagle attempt is decent enough but comes up a smidge short.
Gimme birdie and he moves to 3-under.
Rory McIlroy
PGA Championship LIVE: Scottie Scheffler in the mix, Rory McIlroy makes cut on number
PGA Championship LIVE: Follow live updates from the second round of the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club.
Scottie Scheffler carded a 3-under 68 in the second round of the PGA Championship to move within three shots of the lead heading into the weekend at Quail Hollow Club.
Rory McIlroy made the cut mark on the number after a 69, but it was a round that could and should have been so much better with two late bogeys.
The third member of the marquee group in defending champion Xander Schauffele carded a 70 to also narrowly make the cut.
It marks a 64th consecutive cut in the majors for Schauffele.
Scheffler finds himself at 5-under par thru 36 holes, while McIlroy and Schauffele are well down the board at 1-over par.
None of the world's top three have brought their A-games to Charlotte so far this week, but much can change with 36 holes left to play.
Jhonattan Vegas is still the player everyone has to catch as the Venezualan posted a 70 to nudge himself up to 8-under par.
Despite a shocking double on the final hole, Vegas holds a two-shot lead over Matthieu Pavon (65), Matt Fitzpatrick (68) and Si Woo Kim (64) heading into Saturday's third round.
Scheffler then finds himself a further shot back alongside a resurgent Max Homa, who equalled the best score of the week (64).
The rounds of 64 from both Kim and Homa marked both of their best rounds at a major.
Kim made an ace on the par-3 6th, which marked the second hole-in-one of the week and also the longest ace in major history at 238 yards.
Elsewhere, LIV Golf superstar Bryson DeChambeau pushed himself up the board with a 68 to move to 3-under par.
Jhonattan Vegas | -8 | 70 |
Matthieu Pavon | -6 | 65 |
Matt Fitzpatrick | -6 | 68 |
Si Woo Kim | -6 | 64 |
Max Homa | -5 | 64 |
Scottie Scheffler | -5 | 68 |

Ryder Cup captain pays the price
Donald -3 (9*)
Captain Luke is in trouble off the tee at the 18th.
He is forced to take a drop and almost takes out his playing partner Padraig Harrington as he pitches back into play.
Donald can't get up and down from the fairway and makes a double bogey.
Ouch.
20:06
What is the projected cut?
The top 70 and ties make it through to the weekend.
It's currently 1-over par but could shift to 2-over.
20:05
Sensational shot from Robert MacIntyre
MacIntyre -2 (4*)
Bob is on the 14th tee box and takes an almighty lash at his golf ball.
We've already seen one sensational shot from Max Homa on this hole in the morning wave and, whilst MacIntyre's wasn't as good, he's still on the dancefloor and putting for eagle.
20:03
Rahm still hanging in there
Rahm E (6)
The Spaniard is not finding it easy to today. From the edge of the green at the 6th, Rahm races his birdie putt well past the cup.
Rahm is up to the challenge, though, and he remains at level par and inside the cut line.
19:43
Hisatsune birdie
Hisatsune -6 (6)
Three birdies to start his round on the back nine sees Hisatsune move to 6-under par.
The Japanese is now tied second.
19:38
Big par save from McIlroy
McIlroy +2 (3)
Massive par save for Rory.
After coming short of the green, McIlroy chipped past the pin to 10 feet.
But he brushed his downhiller into the heart of the cup for par.
19:36
Scheffler birdie
Scheffler -3 (3)
Scheffler curls home a 20-footer for birdie on the par-4 3rd.
He's now just five shots off the pace.
19:35
DOUBLE at 18 for Vegas!
Vegas -8
It's a shocking finish for Vegas on 18.
After splitting the fairway off the tee, Vegas pushed his approach into the bunker.
He then chunked his third shot and the ball sailed off the front of the green.
Vegas chipped past the hole to three feet, but he then missed the bogey putt.
He tapped in for a double and a round of 70.
Vegas has just let everyone back in.
Game on.
19:22
McIlroy birdie at 2
McIlroy +2 (2)
McIlroy curls in a birdie from 15 feet on the par-4 2nd to move to 2-over par.
Pars for Scheffler and Schauffele.
19:07
Pars for the marquee group at 1
Scheffler -2, Schauffele +2, McIlroy +3 (1)
Pars for Scheffler and McIlroy after having found sand with their approach shots.
Schauffele walks off with a bogey after a disastrous three-jab from 40 feet.
19:02
Huge break for Vegas
Vegas hits the rake with his tee shot on the 17th and his ball bounces back into the middle of the green.
Huge break for the leader.
18:43
Hovland chips in for birdie at last
Hovland -2 (F)
After a poor day around the greens, Hovland ends the day with a chip-in birdie.
He's up to 2-under par but that's eight back.
18:42
Bryson bogey
DeChambeau -3 (F)
Sloppy bogey for Bryson on his final hole.
It all adds up to a 68 though and he's up to 3-under par.
That's seven back, but DeChambeau will still fancy his chances of a third major title at the weekend.
18:23
Matsuyama to miss cut
Matsuyama +3
Matsuyama makes a bogey on his final hole to fall to 3-over par for the tournament.
That's highly likely to miss the cut.
Yet another big name missing the weekend.
18:20
Bryson birdie
DeChambeau -4 (17)
A delightful chip from 40 yards shy of the green sets up another birdie for DeChambeau.
He rolls in the four-footer to move to 4-under par.
That's six shots off the pace, but Bryson is well inside the top 10 now and firmly in the mix.
18:11
Vegas moves four ahead
Vegas -10 (14)
Vegas is putting daylight between himself and the field right now.
He's just binned a 10-footer for another birdie on the short par-4 14th to move to 10-under par.
That's now a four-shot lead.
Vegas is now playing the easy par-5 15th.
18:08
Spieth should be safe
Spieth +2 (F)
Spieth makes par at 18 for a 68.
The cut is likely to fall at 2-over par, which would mean Spieth will make it through - and his dream of completing the career grand slam this Sunday is still alive.
However, with a lack of wind forecast for this afternoon, the cut could fall at 1-over par.
A nervous wait in store for Spieth.

Aberg to miss the cut
Aberg +3 (F)
Another big name looks set to miss the cut as Ludvig Aberg cards a dismal 75 to lie 3-over par.
17:57
Hour to go until McIlroy, Scheffler and Schauffele tee off in Round 2
Not long to go now, folks.
The marquee group of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele tees off in just under an hour.
Let's hope for some fireworks as it's fair to say the PGA Championship has been lacking it so far.
Rory has arrived and he's opted for a burnt orange shirt.

Rai double
Rai -3 (16)
It's a painful double for Rai.
The Englishman clattered the tree with his second shot and his ball bounced back into the fairway.
From there, Rai took four more shots en route to a double-bogey six.
It sends him back into the chasing pack.

JT likely to miss the cut
Thomas +3 (F)
It's a disappointing 72 for Thomas in the second round.
