Two hours of everything being set up and everyone watching. Such a time occurs only four times a year in the four major championships, but it cannot be reached without any previous time.<\/p>\n<p>One filled with early mornings and late nights, sacrifices, sweat, and inflection points. That&#8217;s what makes major championship golf so special. The entire tournament is important, but the last two hours are what keep your eyes glued. Traveling that far is hard enough, but coincidentally it was an easy task for Cameron Young when his career was still young.<\/p>\n<p>Young is at 2 under after two rounds at the 2026 PGA Championship, two strokes ahead of Alex Smalley and Maverick McNeely, with only six names separating him from the lead.<\/p>\n<p>Since the start of 2022, only two players have finished in the top 10 after 36 holes at more majors than The Players Championship winner: Scottie Scheffler (four majors) and Rory McIlroy (two). <\/p>\n<p>Young himself is still at zero.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_top-10_finishes_in_majors_after_36_holes_from_2022_to_2026\"><\/span>Most top-10 finishes in majors after 36 holes from 2022 to 2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<table data-title=\"4x2 Table\" class=\"TableBase\">\n<tbody>\n<tr\/>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Scotty Scheffler<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>12<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Rory McIlroy<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Cameron Young<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Young has already faced his fair share of two-hour challenges, including at this year&#8217;s Masters, where he was matched up with McIlroy for the final time on Sunday. But he had never come into this PGA Championship with such high expectations. It was Friday&#8217;s round, not the final round, but Young met his moment in a way that ensured he had a significant chance Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>An early stain on his scorecard occurred in the middle of the fairway on the short par-4 13th on a morning when it felt like 40 degrees and an unexpected wind was blowing. <\/p>\n<p>Young&#8217;s ball, which flew a wedge to access the back pin, went through the wind at the long distance of the green and resulted in a bogey. His tee shot on the next hole hit a greenside bunker, and suddenly the American started scrambling.<\/p>\n<p>He successfully got up and down from the sand, and on his next saving move, all he found was sand. This time, after throwing a wedge that far, he sank a 14-foot par putt. When Young connected with the green from just 21 feet after an average pitch, he put house in order and cleared away things around him.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not being able to play his best golf on the demanding course, he somehow managed to achieve even par on this stretch. He also hit an 8-foot par putt on the par-3 17th, but showed disgust when the ball left the tee. His ball, which was supposed to be headed for the water, landed on the putting surface before hitting the bottom of the cup in three strokes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a five-hole stretch that will likely be forgotten, but for Young, like the two holes that ended his day, it was a hole that gave him a chance to spend more time. He connected from 30 feet short on the par-3 fifth hole to move into red, then made a big birdie at the last to finish at 3 under and improve his chances Sunday. Only two players have higher this score this week.<\/p>\n<p>Young isn&#8217;t quite at the championship level that most golfers aspire to, but he&#8217;s slowly getting closer again. He&#8217;s closing in on the lead and with nine holes left, that time on Sunday is approaching when all eyes will be on the favorite to win. Although results ultimately determine the winner, Young&#8217;s performance on Friday was just as important in his long journey to potentially become a major champion one day. <\/p>\n<p>A day like Sunday could come as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traffic_jam_at_the_top\"><\/span>Traffic jam at the top<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you qualify for the 108th PGA Championship, the good news is that not only do you get to play two more rounds and get paid, you also have a chance to win this tournament. Only eight strokes separate the players who advanced at 4 over from Smalley and McNeely, who are at the top of the leaderboard after 36 holes.<\/p>\n<p>Throw away all the statistics that say you need to be within X strokes of a major championship weekend. Because with this rarity, no one can be excluded. <\/p>\n<p>Just one day after his &#8220;terrible&#8221; round, McIlroy sprung into action with a second-round 67 that brought him within five strokes of the pace. Jordan Spieth may have struggled on the greens, but he put together a round just two strokes shy of par, staying within screaming distance of the same number as Brooks Koepka, Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele.<\/p>\n<p>Former world No. 1s Jason Day and Jon Rahm are within a few strokes of 2-under with a killer row of Scheffler, Ludwig Oberg, Justin Thomas, Harris English and Si-woo Kim, followed by Chris Gottelup and Hideki Matsuyama at 3-under.<\/p>\n<p>There have only been two tournaments in the history of major championships in which 15 players failed to take a two-shot lead through 36 holes. This 2026 edition of the PGA Championship currently has three players, a tournament record for 36 holes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the fifth time in championship history that seven major winners have come within four strokes of the leader, and everyone on Saturday&#8217;s tee sheet may go to bed Friday night believing they&#8217;ll be the last man standing Sunday night.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"another_kind_of_traffic_jam\"><\/span>another kind of traffic jam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The over\/under for those in the ropes was 6 hours before they realized the time had passed. We blinked and an hour and a half had passed, even though the group of Scheffler, Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick had only played four holes. It wasn&#8217;t their fault, but rather a four-pronged problem.<\/p>\n<p>The capacity is 156 people.<\/p>\n<p>This is a major championship where every shot is important.<\/p>\n<p>This is on a narrow golf course and the greens often hit the tee boxes. (For example, the 13th green is right next to the 14th tee, and players wait for other groups to finish before hitting their shots. Similar examples include the 12th green, the 13th tee box, and the adjacent 8th and 10th greens.)<\/p>\n<p>These two days are also the days when the PGA of America decided to hold several events.<em> fun &#8211;<\/em> If your definition of fun is pin position on steeper sections of the green (more on that later).<\/p>\n<p>This situation will improve over the weekend with half of the field exit stages remaining, and maybe a scoring day could be considered, but let&#8217;s call a spade a spade. No matter the stage or situation, a round of golf should not take six hours.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"MediaShortcode MediaShortcodeImage none large\"><figcaption class=\"MediaShortcode-figcaption\"><span class=\"MediaShortcode-caption\">Brooks Koepka and Xander Schauffele wait on the 10th green while the players tee off at the distant par-3 8th. <\/span><span class=\"MediaShortcode-credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                                                                    Patrick McDonald, CBS Sports<br \/>\n                                                            <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next_step_in_evolution\"><\/span>Next step in evolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During Gotterup&#8217;s college days, there was a time when he hit 100 seconds for three consecutive rounds during a team trip. It&#8217;s the same Gottapp who won the Fred Haskins Award in 2022, won his rookie season on the PGA Tour and won three times last year against the likes of McIlroy and Matsuyama.<\/p>\n<p>Gotterup&#8217;s progress continued this week at Aronimink Golf Club, as the once aggressive player continued to show that his off-speed play could not be better. In a test of patience, Gotterup answered all questions with a second-round 65 (a championship low) and is close to the lead at 3 under. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like since turning pro I&#8217;ve gotten to the point where hitting 30 feet is a good shot, and I think there&#8217;s a lot of that here as well. So I think a lot of the aspects of being patient and I feel like I&#8217;ve gotten better at that, but also just being creative and being willing to take shots that I might not be able to pull off in a normal week.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you&#8217;re hitting a 4-iron from 190 here and you&#8217;re trying to cut 20 yards trying to survive the wind, it&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve gotten used to playing in the wind more and yeah, it doesn&#8217;t make it any easier to execute, but you have to be in the moment to hit those shots, and I&#8217;ve come across those shots a few times and been able to hit them. So, hopefully keep doing that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"raise_roof_floor\"><\/span>raise <del>roof<\/del> floor!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since winning the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills, Thomas has largely been absent from major championships. It&#8217;s not because there is no skill, but rather because when things are good, there is skill.<em> Really<\/em> When it&#8217;s good, it&#8217;s the opposite when it&#8217;s bad.<em> Really<\/em> bad.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas has only had one top-30 finish since raising his second Wanamaker, but thanks in large part to raising the floor, he now has a great chance to raise his third. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I&#8217;m probably more proud or happy that I didn&#8217;t put any extra pressure on myself the first few days,&#8221; Thomas said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t feel like I made this moment bigger than it was. I just really feel like I&#8217;m doing a lot of things well, swinging well, playing well, putting well. So I just go out and play. &#8230; It sounds so easy to say, but in my opinion, this is one of the hardest things to do in this sport.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I&#8217;m very, very happy and proud of myself for being able to do that in the first few days. Yeah, just playing the holes and what the course gives me.

All of the above?<\/p>\n<p>DeChambeau has reinvented himself many times throughout his career, but with four rounds that really matter in 2026, the artist once known as a mad scientist may need another round.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"pin_seek\"><\/span>pin seek<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this week, it was announced ad nauseum that the Alonimink&#8217;s main defense is a green complex. Some believe them to be diabolical, tricky, whatever you want to call them, bordering on the absurd. The par-3 14th is subject to more scrutiny than the other holes, given the ferocious nature of the hole.<\/p>\n<p>No. 14, which had already gained more than 200 yards and had been playing in 20 mph winds the past two days, looked like it wasn&#8217;t even on the green at the hole location Thursday. A similar sight awaited the players on Friday, only this time it was on the peninsula to the right of the green. <\/p>\n<p>With a pin like this on a green like this, players will be drugging primarily on the fat side of the green, 30 to 40 feet away. But even if they swallow their pride and go for a smart shot, the cup competition will be even tougher, even more so given the turbulent conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the most difficult pin position I&#8217;ve seen since I&#8217;ve been on tour, including the U.S. Open and Oakmont.&#8221; <span class=\"link\">Scheffler said this after the second round.<\/span>. &#8220;I asked (some caddies)&#8230;&#8217;Have you ever seen anything like this before?&#8217; They said Shinnecock is probably the only place with pins comparable to this. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But this golf course is different in a way. The greens at Oakmont are very tough, but they&#8217;re very tough in some directions. Here, the greens are sloping toward this side, and if you put the pin here, it&#8217;s like it&#8217;s sloping over here. And, what can I say, it&#8217;s not natural to the slope that&#8217;s there. I think the greens are a little more built, but it&#8217;s very, very sloping.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to get the ball close to the hole. It&#8217;s hard to hole the putt, especially when there&#8217;s a big slope or wind. I think that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m scoring so close to par.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n
