Jhonattan Vegas Leads PGA Championship After Round 2 at Quail Hollow

At the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Jhonattan Vegas leads after two rounds with a score of 8 under par, holding a two-shot lead going into the weekend. Vegas, a four-time PGA Tour winner, is having his best major championship performance at age 40 and is one of the few players over 40 to lead a major after 36 holes. Max Homa is making a strong charge, shooting a 7-under 64 in Round 2, his lowest career round in a major, highlighted by a near hole-in-one on the 14th hole. Homa, who has struggled earlier in the season, credits recent swing adjustments and familiarity with Quail Hollow—where he won in 2019—for his resurgence and is now three shots behind Vegas, tied for third. Meanwhile, Si Woo Kim is part of a trio of players two shots behind Vegas, including a historic hole-in-one on the 252-yard sixth hole, the longest ace in major championship history. With 35 players within six shots of the lead, the leaderboard is tightly packed as the championship heads into the weekend.
