ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The second day of the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club is underway on Friday. The world’s top golfers are competing at the historic Pittsford course through Sunday.

American Bryson DeChambeau is still leading the tournament as of 1 p.m. During day one of competition, Thursday, he completed 18 holes at four under par. He is set to tee off for the second day just after 2:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, other golfers have already teed off for day two. That includes England’s Justin Rose, who is three under par with 14 holes complete.
Day one of competition was supposed to wrap up on Thursday but several groups didn’t have time to complete all 18 holes. That’s because the start was delayed by nearly two hours, to 8:50 a.m., due to a layer of frost that covered the course. After a full day of play, the competition was suspended at 8:30 p.m. as sunset approached.
Gates at Oak Hill opened at 6:15 in the morning on Friday to give fans just enough time to watch those groups finish up the first round. Round two was able to start on time and unlike Thursday, frost wasn’t an issue for the early tee times.
Mat Mlodzinski has a summary of Thursday’s results here. After scoring six over par on Thursday, world No. 1 Jon Rahm of Spain is in danger of missing the cut.
Rory McIlroy, the No. 3 ranked golfer in the world from North Ireland whose wife is a Rochester native, finished Thursday at one over par. McIlroy seemed to be the crowd favorite when News10NBC asked spectators.
McIlroy is playing in a group with reigning PGA champion Justin Thomas, who also won the championship in 2017, along with Collin Morikawa, who won the 2020 PGA Championship and The Open Championship in 2021. On Friday, that group will tee off just after 1:30 p.m. starting at the front nine.
