The PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club is finely poised after round one, with seven players sharing the lead on three under par. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is among the frontrunners, while Martin Kaymer has impressed, 16 years on from his maiden major victory.
A shot back are Patrick Reed, Shane Lowry and Xander Schauffele, among others. However, Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau face an uphill task after poor starts. The Masters champion recorded four consecutive bogeys to finish seven strokes off the pace, with DeChambeau a further two shots adrift.
The second round gets under way on Friday with a host of intriguing pairings. Martin Kaymer is grouped with Elvis Smylie and Davis Riley at 12:29, while Patrick Reed plays alongside Emiliano Grillo and Pierceson Coody at 13:02. Later, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka and Tyrrell Hatton tee off at 18:54, and Bryson DeChambeau features with Ludvig Aberg and Rickie Fowler at 18:43.
Other notable groups include Patrick Cantlay, Min Woo Lee and Sahith Theegala at 18:21, while early starters include Dustin Johnson at 11:45 alongside Michael Block and Rasmus Hojgaard. Fans can follow all the action as the leading contenders look to position themselves for the weekend.
