🔥 Round 2 Highlights
As PGA Championship 2025 Round 2 wrapped up, several big names found themselves right in the mix, setting up an exciting weekend battle for the Wanamaker Trophy. Here is the list of the players:
🏌️ Jhonattan Vegas (-8)
Vegas followed his sizzling 64 with a solid 70. A double bogey on 18 due to a bad break (his ball rolled against a bunker rake) cost him momentum, but he remains in the lead heading into the weekend.
🔥 Max Homa (-5)
After weeks of inconsistency, Max Homa stormed back with a brilliant 7-under 64 — his best-ever round in a major. The emotional charge was visible, and his ball-striking was nearly flawless.
🇫🇷 Matthieu Pavon (-6)
Pavon’s bogey-free 65 was one of the cleanest rounds of the day. He quietly climbed into contention and now shares second place.
🏌️♂️ Scottie Scheffler (-5)
The world No. 1 played a patient round and posted a composed 68. Though not flashy, his consistency keeps him within striking distance with 36 holes to play.
PGA Championship 2025 Round 2 separated the field — some notables fell behind, while others dug deep to make the cut and stay alive for the weekend.
🔄 Rory McIlroy (+1)
Rory had a rollercoaster round — birdies, bogeys, and everything in between — finishing with a 69 to make the cut. His week began with controversy over using a “non-conforming” TaylorMade driver shaft in practice, though it was not used in competition.
📉 Jordan Spieth (+2)
Spieth missed the cut by one stroke, ending his latest bid for a career Grand Slam. With Rory having completed his Grand Slam at the Masters, this missed cut adds to the frustration for Spieth fans.
✔️ Xander Schauffele (+1)
Schauffele made the cut on the number, continuing his remarkable 64 consecutive made cuts streak. While not yet in contention, he stays alive heading into the weekend.
🔥 Bryson DeChambeau (-5)
Bryson DeChambeau rebounded impressively in Round 2, shooting a 3-under 68 to bring his total to 5-under-par. This strong performance positioned him well within the top 10 heading into the weekend, showcasing his ability to contend in major championships.
❌ Phil Mickelson (+9) & Jason Day (+6)
Both past champions failed to make the cut, falling well short of the projected number. Their struggles leave a notable gap in the weekend field.
😓 Brooks Koepka (+9)
Brooks Koepka, a three-time PGA Champion, faced a challenging tournament at Quail Hollow. After rounds of 75 and 76, he finished at 9-over-par, missing the cut by a significant margin. This marks the first time Koepka has missed the cut at the PGA Championship, highlighting the unpredictable nature of major championships.
😓 Dustin Johnson (+12)
Dustin Johnson, a two-time major champion, faced significant challenges at Quail Hollow. He posted rounds of 78 and 76, culminating in a 12-over-par total, which placed him well outside the cut line. Johnson’s struggles, particularly with his putting, were evident as he ranked near the bottom in strokes gained with the putter. This performance continues a concerning trend, marking his fifth missed cut in his last seven major appearances.
