Xander Schauffele leads the PGA Championship amidst eventful Day 2

Xander Schauffele played really well in the PGA Championship. He scored a 62 in the first round, which was his best golf ever. He quickly showed he could handle the pressure by making a birdie in the second round. This was his tenth birdie in the tournament. He then made his first mistake and got a bogey, which was his first one of the week. Even though he didn't score as many birdies as in the first round, he still kept his lead and stayed ahead of Morikawa. Schauffele didn't get too excited after his great first round. He knew he had to focus on his game and keep playing well. He was worried that his good play might motivate his competitors even more. Morikawa played really well too, but his score wasn't enough to beat Schauffele. Schauffele's plan for the next two days was to stay focused, hit good shots, and make putts without forcing anything. Morikawa hadn't been at the top of a major tournament since his win in 2021. He showed that he could still perform well in tough conditions. Scottie Scheffler was also playing great golf, but Schauffele was determined to do his best without getting too caught up in the competition. Schauffele was happy with his performance so far and knew he had to stay resilient to win. He was leading after the second round and was looking forward to the next days of the tournament.
