At 3-under 137, he was six shots behind the leaders, and four behind Emiliano Grillo, a close friend dating to their junior golf days. Lefty carded a 2-under-par 68 that left him at 1-under for the tournament, tied for 42nd. He is tied for 10th at four-under par and provided steady consistency with five birdies and no bogeys on Saturday.
McIlroy came to the only two par-5s on Baltusrol at 3 over; the cut would be plus 2.
He believes there will be more like that from the leaders when play does resume at Baltusrol after the lightning threat and rains clear.
“I actually didn’t play that well to be honest and putted unbelievably well, which was so much fun”.
Mickelson, who opened the second round with a triple bogey, started with a bogey this time. He said the players could use the greens as dart boards, and with Baltusrol playing at a par of 70, eight birdies and no bogeys is required to reach the magic number.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb lead the way going into Saturday after both ended on nine-under after their first two trips round the course. Mickelson and Henrik Stenson shots 63s this month in the British Open.
In a major championship season of endless theater, the PGA Championship lived up to its end of the bargain Friday. Streb was also impressive in the second round with a sparkling seven-under 63.
Summerhays does have experience with long days at majors this year; he played 36 holds in one day last month at the U.S. Open in Oakmont, Pa.
Among the big names, who missed the cut were Rory McIlroy, Y.E. Yang, Vijay Singh, David Toms, John Daly, Graeme McDowell, Shaun Micheel and European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke.
