Tommy Fleetwood 72-73 (+5)<\/p>\n
Fleetwood shot a pair of 62s when the PGA Tour last came to a rainy, soft Aronimink in 2018. This was basically a different course, and the Englishman could only muster two birdies across his 36 holes.<\/p>\n

Robert MacIntyre 70-75 (+5)<\/p>\n
The Scot conjured three birdies on Friday, but sandwiched them all with bogeys or worse. A second missed major cut in a row will hurt MacIntyre.<\/p>\n
Wyndham Clark 75-70 (+5)<\/p>\n
A peculiar major championship record. Played in 18, won one, missed the cut in nine, and received a ban from Oakmont<\/a> for smashing up their locker room in another. <\/p>\n Akshay Bhatia 71-74 (+5)<\/p>\n The left-hander is a three-time PGA Tour champion before 25 but his major record so far reads six missed cuts in 11 attempts, which is just dreadful.<\/p>\n Russell Henley 72-73 (+5)<\/p>\n His last three major appearances are T10, T10, T3, and it feels more of a when than if Henley will win a major. It won\u2019t be here, though.<\/p>\n Keegan Bradley 74-72 (+6)<\/p>\n Perhaps Bradley can finally get the Ryder Cup heartache out of his mind after the US announced their succession plan with Jim Furyk, but his golf is not as strong right now as it was when he was in contention to play on his own team at Bethpage.<\/p>\n Viktor Hovland 74-72 (+6)<\/p>\n Largely considered one of the best current players in the world without a major victory on his CV. That will not change here. <\/p>\n Tyrrell Hatton 72-74 (+6)<\/p>\n A surprise, because he finished T3 at the Masters. But not a surprise because his last two PGA Championship results were in the 60s. Indicative of his LIV Golf form this season, to be fair. <\/p>\n Gary Woodland 72-74 (+6)<\/p>\n Whatever happens, Woodland\u2019s comeback is one of the golfing stories of the year, but he was one of many former major champions to struggle here.<\/p>\n Sepp Straka 73-73 (+6)<\/p>\n Nine bogeys and a double across his 36 holes put paid to Straka\u2019s chances. The Ryder Cup star\u2019s major record of late has been woeful.<\/p>\n JJ Spaun 70-76 (+6)<\/p>\n The US Open champion was the last man standing at an even more fiendish test than this at Oakmont last year and started well, but things unraveled badly on Friday.<\/p>\n Bryson DeChambeau 76 (+6)<\/p>\n The homemade \u201cBD3D\u201d irons didn\u2019t work at Aronimink, and three finishing birdies saved DeChambeau from finishing in double figures over par. It didn\u2019t, however, stop him from missing a second successive major cut for the first time since 2017.<\/p>\n Tom McKibbin 74-73 (+7)<\/p>\n The Northern Irishman isn\u2019t having the best season on LIV, where a T5 in Mexico was the only result worth writing home about. Couldn\u2019t justify the PGA of America\u2019s invite.<\/p>\n Adam Scott 72-76 (+8)<\/p>\n In a few weeks\u2019 time, the Australian will become just the second player after Jack Nicklaus to play in 100 consecutive majors. Ninety-nine is not one he\u2019ll look back on with any kind of fondness.<\/p>\n Billy Horschel 74-74 (+8)<\/p>\n Still recovering from the surgery that saw him miss much of last summer. Would be great to see him back to his best.<\/p>\n Jacob Bridgeman 74-74 (+8)<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tyrrell-hatton-pga-championship.jpg\")
