Will Zalatoris enters Saturday’s third round at the 104th PGA Championship with a one-stroke lead and history on his side.
Of the seven major championships played at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, each has been won by the 36-hole leader or co-leader.
That doesn’t mean it will be easy for the 25-year-old Zalatoris to claim his first career PGA victory. Zalatoris is 9 under through two rounds, with Mito Pereira a shot behind. After Pereira, there is a group 3-5 shots off the lead that includes a trio of major champions. Justin Thomas is third at -6, and Bubba Watson is fourth at -5. Rory McIloy is -4, tied with Abraham Ancer and Davis Riley.
Tiger Woods will play the weekend after making the cut with a gutsy second-round performance Friday. Woods started the day in precarious position but bounced back with a 1-under 69 to get to +3 for the tournament and safely inside the cut line.
