Scottie Scheffler, the defending champion, slips from the lead after a poor start on day two of the US PGA Championship. Heading into the second round, Scheffler had been among a seven-way tie for the lead, sharing top position with several other players. However, during the early part of the round, Scheffler’s form drops compared with the leaders, and he falls off the top spot as other competitors build momentum. The reports describe a shift away from Scheffler’s earlier standings, indicating that his second-day performance prevents him from maintaining contention at the top in the same way as on day one. While the coverage focuses on the change in his position, it does not provide detailed scores or the identity of the other players in the seven-way tie beyond noting that multiple golfers share the lead at the outset of day two. Overall, the articles present Scheffler’s day-two start as the key factor behind his movement down the leaderboard.
