    Matt McCarty made 3 putts of over 50 feet today and shot 63! Leads by 3. He hit a shot from 243 on the 18th hole and hit it to like 2 feet. But wait, the group ahead had not finished the hole, they had cleared the green for Ricky Fowler to make a shot from way off the green. I've never seen that happen on the PGA tour. They nicely marked his ball and fixed his ball mark and finished the hole!!

    McCarty couldn't match his 1st round play and fell back quite a bit. Im is the new leader with Fleetwood 1 shot back and JT and Alex Fitzpatrick are 2 shots back.

    Every day a new guy gets hot.

    Today Alex Fitzpatrick, Cam Young are hot today . JT just a few strokes back.

    Quite the logjam on the leaderboard so far today. I'm rooting for Fowler to get the win.

    Yeah Short putting was the difference for a lot of guys today. The Norwegian kid played well and steady and deserved the win. Ricky still had a good tournament.

    PGA Championship this week. In Philly at Aronimink a course I don't know anything about. Golf Channel says it is one of the shortest tracks and has wide fairways. It's defense is the greens. Fast and very undulating.

    Rory and Scottie of course are the favorites. Jon Rahm will be there as well as Bryson.

    Cam Young seems to be the #3 player right now. Long and straight off the tee.

    Course looks beautiful on the shots they have shown on TV.
