PGA Championship 2016 Leaderboard: Latest Scores and Standings from Friday

1469823608048

Henrik Stenson’s remarkable run of play continued on Day 2 at the 2016 PGA Championship. Less than two weeks removed from a record-setting win at the British Open, Stenson has proven he’s still in complete control of his game, notching a second consecutive score of 67 to sit at six under halfway through the tournament and top the leaderboard early on Friday. The Swedish golfer hasn’t posted the best totals on either day, but the consistency has him in a strong position to win the second major of his career. 

Here’s a live look at the leaderboard as Friday’s action continues:

After consecutive bogeys on the Nos. 12 and 13 holes undid some of the strong work Stenson did earlier in the round, the 40-year-old finished the day with a flourish, tallying an eagle on the No. 18 hole to take the tournament lead. Though he topped the leaderboard after the morning wave of golfers, Stenson’s day wasn’t as strong as Patrick Reed’s, who is in a lofty position thanks to a second-round score of 65. The back nine has been crucial to Reed’s rocketing up the standings. On Thursday, he hit three birdies without a bogey on the back nine. Friday, it was four birdies without a blemish. Birdies are wonderful and all, but eagles are better.

Dunked it.
