PGA Championship tee times: Round 2 groupings on Friday
Venezuela’s Jhonattan Vegas tops the leaderboard after the opening day of action at the PGA Championship being staged in North Carolina.
Jhonattan Vegas’ showing at the last six holes saw the Venezuelan shoot a 7-under-par 64 for a two-shot lead at Quail Hollow Club with Cameron Davis of Australia and newcomer Ryan Gerard are two shots back.
Vegas, who started on No. 10, posted birdies on five of his final six holes. He capped it with a 27-foot putt.
“It was one of those rounds that kept building, and it came all together at the end,” he said.

No other golfer representing Venezuela has ever been among the top 10 on the leaderboard at the end of any round of a major.
The 40-year-old Vegas has won four times on the PGA Tour, including last July in the 3M Open. But he has missed cuts in nine of his last 13 majors.
European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald of England shot 4-under 67 and was a co-leader in the clubhouse for a stretch during the afternoon. Donald completed his bogey-free round before Alex Smalley, New Zealand’s Ryan Fox, Germany’s Stephan Jaeger and England’s Aaron Rai joined him with 67s.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler shot 2-under 69, while defending champion Xander Schauffele finished at 1-over 72 and Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, the recent Masters champion and four-time winner of the PGA Tour stop at Quail Hollow, recorded 3-over 74.
Scheffler started on the back nine and notched an eagle on No. 15. But on the next hole, the trio of Scheffler, Schauffele and McIlroy all took double-bogey 6s.
Scheffler finished with birdies on two of his last three holes.
