PGA Championship 2016: Leaderboard Scores, Highlights and Cut Line from Friday

Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb are setting the pace through 36 holes at the 2016 PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey.

Both golfers are at nine under following Friday’s second round. Emiliano Grillo and Jason Day are tied for second at seven under.

Streb finished with a seven-under 63 for the round, which tied for the lowest single-round score at a major tournament. PGA.com shared a replay of his birdie putt on No. 9 to conclude his second round:

63! @therealstrebber ties a major record with this second round performance at the @PGAChampionship! #PGAChamp https://t.co/Lv43c6wpKK

While Streb’s performance was impressive, PGATour.com’s Sean Martin added a little more perspective:

Robert Streb fires the first 63 in a major since … 12 days ago.

The 29-year-old was consistent across the board Friday. He reached 11-of-14 fairways off the tee and 14-of-18 greens in regulation, and he also gained 2.119 strokes with his putter.

Walker couldn’t quite match Streb in terms of single-round output, but he didn’t have as much work to do following his four-under 66 in the first round. Walker was consistent without making too many mistakes. He carded two birdies on the front nine and three more on the back nine before closing out the round with a bogey on No. 18.

As Golf Channel researcher Justin Ray noted, both Streb and Walker were extremely close to making even more history:

If @JimmyWalkerPGA plays the last 3 holes in -1, he will record the lowest 36-hole total score in major championship history (129).
