PGA Championship 2022 LIVE: Leaderboard and latest updates with Rory McIlroy in mix as Tiger Woods struggles

A disaster for McIlroy at the par-three sixth, after finding the creek with his tee shot. He’s able to scramble up and down for a five but that’s a knife in the heart to his hopes of challenging at the top of the leaderboard. It leaves him eight shots back. That hole was where Woods’ struggles began with a triple bogey earlier.

Pereira extends his lead with a cool birdie putt from eight feet at the fifth! Zalatoris stays where he is after seeing a long one downhill stay high.

Zalatoris drops another after a three-put at the par-5 fourth, meaning that Pereira finds himself with a two-shot lead early in the round.

Fitzpatrick grabs a second consecutive birdie at the par-3 sixth to get him back to where he started after his opening two bogeys.

It’s certainly a tough day for scoring out there. Justin Thomas and Bubba Watson both dropped an early shot, before making birdies to get back to where they started.

Matthew Fitzpatrick started his round with consecutive bogeys but has just responded by holing out for birdie from the bunker at the fourth.

And Pereira swaps places with his playing partner! He drains a long way on the second to move to -9.

It puts the pressure on Zalatoris, but he makes his par from 12 feet. Still, it’s two-shot swing in the opening two holes.

Despite looking relaxed, Will Zalatoris has dropped a shot on the opening hole and is now level with Pereira on -8.

He left himself with a lengthy one and will have another at the second after his drive went wayward.

McIlroy finds himself in the back green-side bunker at the first but plays a lovely shot to get out of trouble and rolls it to within three feet. He gave that a chance, but moves on with par.

Justin Thomas and Bubba Watson are now underway in the group behind.

Will Zalatoris, now on the tee, looks relaxed as he shares a joke with Mito Pereira.

Fitzpatrick is now underway at -3, but Hatton is set to drop back to where he started after finding the creek at the second.

McIlroy is up on the tee alongside playing partner Abraham Ancer. He has a great opportunity here to bounce back from yesterday’s disappointment.

There we go. An opening birdie for Tyrell Hatton gets the Englishman to -3. Both Hatton and Fitzpartick, who tees off next, are well placed to make a charge today.

Both players, however, have been very critical of the greens at Southern Hills so far this week.

It’s been a tough day for Tiger Woods but he is still applauded onto the 18th green as if he was leading the PGA Championship.

Instead, at +12, is at the bottom of the leaderboard out of those players who have made the weekend.

Woods is left with five feet to avoid hitting 80 – and he manages it – but after hitting 69 to make the cut yesterday today’s 79 is a sobering score.
