Valhalla Leaderboard And PGA Championship Projected Cut: Live Updates As Scottie Scheffler Released By Police And Returns To Course For Delayed Start Due To Accident

LOWRY LOOKING GOOD

The man with the lovely soft hands, Shane Lowry, strokes one in to get to -4. His beard is on a par with Scottie Scheffler, very neat and tidy, just like their short games. Talking of the World No.1, he’s in the middle of 13 with a gap wedge – and that only mean one thing: birdie time. He leaves himself a very makable 15-footer. 

KIM BACK TO -5

After some good recovery work, Kim misses from about eight feet on the tough par-3 14th and slips back to -5. Rahm does indeed get into the red, converting from shortish range to move to -1. He’s fighting hard. Scoring is Ok despite the wet – nice soft greens, just keep the ball on those fairways and out of the long stuff. 

COLLIN ON THE MOVE, SCOTTIE TO -5

Morikawa trickles one in to move to -6, three back. He wasn’t that happy with his approach to the 13th, but he rolled that one in beautifully from about 12 feet – just grabs the edge of the cup. Kim, also -6, hits hybrid into the 14th and finds the heavy rough. He won’t be the only one shaking his head at the 246-yard par-3 today. Birdie 13, bogey 14 and most players will be happy – just avoid those big numbers on the brute that is 14. 

Meanwhile, Rahm is fighting hard today. He finished his round nicely yesterday and has a very makeable putt coming up to get under par. Then back to the World No.1 who holes a one in 10 putt to get back to -5: birdie, bogey, birdie start. 

HOLE-IN-ONE ALERT

Take a bow, Sebastian Soderberg. It’s the first ace of the week, 169 yards on the 8th. 

TOM KIM TO GO -7…

From range and it hangs on the lip. Kim remains on -6. On 12, Scheffler finds the semi rough with his tee shot – should be fine there. 

MEMORIES OF HOYLAKE

Brian Harman rolls a 6-footer in for par at the 11th after a 7/10 bunker shot, before hiding back under his umbrella. I can’t help but think of Royal Liverpool last year, where the man in black and gray waterproofs holed putt after putt in the rain en route to winning the Claret Jug. 

Scheffler faces a putt of a similar range for his par, but it’s a bit of a wide and he drops back to -4. One step forward and one back. 

11TH NO PICNIC 

212 yards to the pin and that’s…
