Strong contenders in the chase
A tight leaderboard sees Tony Finau and Sahith Theegala trailing Schauffele, with Rory McIlroy and Robert MacIntyre in close pursuit. Defending champion Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth also remain in contention, promising an exciting second round at the PGA Championship.
