2013 PGA Championship: Live coverage, leaderboard updates, scores and more from Friday’s second round at Oak Hill

As goes Tiger Woods’ game, so goes his waterfront Florida McMansion.

Woods, who was on top of the golf universe after his seven-stroke cruise last week at Firestone, has dug himself a seemingly insurmountable hole at the PGA Championship with a second-round even-par 70 that put him at 1-over for the tournament.

Adam Scott was the story of the PGA Championship for much of the first two days. That was until Jason Dufner came along and shot a Oak Hill course record 7-under 63. Now, the two will be paired together in the final group on Saturday.

Dufner is the 36-hole leader at 9-under, two strokes ahead of Scott, who is tied for second place. Dufner is the betting favorite through two rounds, with Scott just behind him. After winning the Masters earlier this season, Scott is playing for his second major and would likely wrap up Player of the Year honors if he claimed the Wanamaker Trophy. Dufner will attempt to replicate the success he had on Friday, still searching for the first major championship of his career.

Jason Dufner surged into the PGA Championship lead with a 7-under 63 on Friday, and as a result he’s the betting favorite after 36 holes. Dufner is a 7/2 favorite to win the Wanamaker Trophy, according to Jeff Sherman of the Las Vegas Hilton Superbook.

Dufner will open the third round at 9-under, two strokes ahead of the field. He was somewhat of an afterthought coming into the second round, but shot up the leaderboard en route to setting the Oak Hill course record. Adam Scott is the second favorite with 4/1 odds. Scott, who led after the first round, is tied for second place at 7-under.

For the second night in a row at Oak Hill, one of the top two players in the world called in his coach for an emergency post-round lesson at the PGA Championship. On Thursday, it was Phil Mickelson who immediately walked off the 18th green to the driving range, hitting balls in the gloaming and requesting his coach, Butch Harmon, come out of the SkySports TV booth for a session. Mickelson was lost and looking for a fix to go low on Friday and get back in it. By Mickelson’s own admission, the impromptu work was out-of-character and not something typically a part of his routine. It didn’t work, but at least it led to this cool visual of the lefty hitting balls in near-darkness

On Friday, it was Tiger’s turn to get some reassurance from his swing doctor. Woods also walked directly to the range after carding an even-par round of 71 to finish his first 36 holes at 1-over, 10 shots back of the lead. Tiger and coach Sean Foley, surrounded by caddie Joe LaCava and agent Mark Steinberg, were seen working on the Oak Hill range for a considerable amount of time. But the instruction didn’t end there, as Foley and Woods continued in the parking lot, where the coach used an umbrella to demonstrate some tip at the player’s address:

The Oak Hill course record was tied, then later broken on Friday, but not all of the field was fortunate enough to post rounds in the low and mid 60s. Bubba Watson, Luke Donald and Charl Schwartzel were among the players who finished on the wrong side of the cut line.

The cut eventually settled at 3-over with 75 players making the weekend. Brandt Snedeker and Dustin Johnson are among the group at 3-over, just on the inside of the line. Johnson birdied the 17th hole to move to 3-over and sneak inside of the line.

There wasn’t much Tiger Woods liked about his second round at the PGA Championship. He struggled off the tee again, was disgusted by a couple of his approach shots and three-putted twice coming in. Despite the issues, Woods was able to card an even-par 70 and is 1-over through two rounds.

Woods had early issues off the tee, finding the rough on each of his first four holes. An early bogey at No. 2 dropped him to 2-over and nine strokes off the lead. It appeared he found a groove with back-to-back birdies at No. 5 and No. 6, but the success was short-lived. Four pars and a bogey later, Woods was even through 11 holes while other players were posting rounds in the low- and mid-60s.

Despite a lot of players posting red numbers, the cut line at the PGA Championship has moved from 2- to 3-over. That move saved a few players from the morning, like Brandt Snedeker and a few notable players are now attempting to play their way into the weekend.

Dustin Johnson opened the day at 2-over before running into some trouble early with a double bogey at No. 5. A bogey on No. 15 dropped him to 4-over and on the wrong side of the cut line. The 17th and 18th have played as the hardest two holes this week, not exactly an ideal stretch needing a birdie to make the cut. Johnson was able to do just that though, with a birdie on No. 17. Snedeker was on the wrong side of the cut line after finishing his round, but with the cut moving back a stroke, he will be safe for the weekend.

TNT’s Vince Cellini: Excellent job. This is the part where you get really excited. Ready?

Jason Dufner: Ready.

Tiger Woods’ continues to struggle during the second round of the 2013 PGA Championship. He hasn’t putted well on Friday and that trend continued at No. 14.

Woods pulled out his driver for just the second time in the round and drilled his tee shot onto the green of the 323-yard Par 4. Woods had a long eagle putt and gave it an aggressive effort, running the putt five feet beyond the hole. From there, he had just a short putt left to gain a stroke and get back to even for the tournament.

Jason Dufner added his name to golf’s record books on Friday at the 2013 PGA Championship, matching the lowest round, 63, in golf’s major championship history.

Dufner was flawless through his second tour of Oak Hill, a classic American course that’s been made vulnerable by significant rain over the past two days. The greens were soft and receptive, yielding birdies in bunches and lots of numbers in the mid-60s. Dufner, however, went lower than anyone ever has with steady play from tee-to-green and then a hot putter that converted almost every birdie chance he encountered.

With four birdies and an eagle through 14 holes, Jason Dufner is 6-under on the day and now leading the PGA Championship by one stroke.

Dufner has been sharp in the second round, putting his tee shots in position to take advantage of prime scoring conditions, He made the turn at 31 and has kept rolling on the second nine. A birdie at No. 11 moved him into a tie for the lead, and he took over sole possession of the lead two holes later with a birdie on No. 13. Dufner is entering the difficult closing stretch, but if he’s able to avoid trouble, he has a good chance to hold the 36-hole lead.

Tiger Woods is beginning to turn things around at the PGA Championship, but was not very happy with his approach shot at No. 8.

Woods’ ball landed in the center of the green, roughly 30 feet from the pin. He was able to come away with a par to remain even.

The top two players in the world and the game’s biggest draws -- Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson -- appear safe to make the weekend at the 2013 PGA Championship. Both players were flirting with the cut line, which was at 3-over at one point. The cut line is currently at 4-over with the afternoon wave getting through the second round, though, meaning all players at 3-over should get to move on to the final 36 holes.

It’s a fairly low number for a major, as Oak Hill yields birdies in bunches and some of the world’s best move towards double-digit under-par. Woods and Mickelson, however, are not two of those players. Phil said on Thursday night that Friday’s round would be the difference, indicating he had to get aggressive to try and post a number in the low 60s. Phil never came close to that, however, and a 2-over second nine pushed him to the edge of the cut line. He made a big par putt on his last hole of the day to finish at 2-over.

After back-to-back bogeys as he made the turn, Robert Garrigus is back in a share of the lead at 7-under thanks to a birdie at No. 11. He’s one of several players vaulting up the leaderboard in the afternoon groups.

Garrigus opened the round with two birdies and was 4-under on the round through six holes. He took sole possession of the lead at 8-under after a birdie at No. 8, but dropped right back with a bogey on the next hole. Another bogey at No. 10 dropped Garrigus a stroke behind Adam Scott before he moved back into a share of the lead with his sixth birdie of the day.

Tiger Woods needed a solid second round to work his way back into contention after a 1-over 71 in the first round. The good news for Woods is that scoring conditions are prime for a low score but the bad news is that he’s yet to take advantage.

The front nine at Oak Hill yielded a number of birdies on Tuesday and several players got off to quick starts -- Jason Dufner was four under through five holes. Woods has not only failed to make up any ground, but he dropped a shot early. A bogey at No. 2 dropped Tiger to 2-over for the tournament, just on the inside of the cut line.

Phil Mickelson was so shocked by his sloppy opening round at Oak Hill on Thursday that he made an emergency call to swing coach Butch Harmon. The latter eventually joined Lefty for some late-night work on the practice range.

Friday’s results were not much better for the free-wheeling southpaw as he carded a second straight 1-over 71, but a clutch par save on the ninth hole -- his 18th -- likely assured the British Open champ of a Saturday tee time.

The morning groups are well into their second nine on Friday and as was the case for much of the day on Thursday, Adam Scott is atop the leaderboard. Scott is 2-under through 12 holes and has a two-stroke lead at 7-under.

He got off to another good start with a birdie on his first hole of the day. He followed that up with two more birdies and was 3-under through seven holes. He ran into some trouble with a bogey on No. 17 and another on No. 3 after he made the turn. He’ll have a chance to increase his lead with some scoring holes coming up.

Will we finally see the majors scoring record of 63 fall on Friday at Oak Hill? After some discussion of Adam Scott breaking through with a 62 on Thursday night, we’re back again Friday and Webb Simpson is now a serious threat to break the record. Simpson is 7-under on the par-70 course with just three holes to play. He needs just one more birdie in those last three holes to set the new record. At 5-under, he’s now just two shots off the lead of Adam Scott.

The belly putter has had an up-and-down season, but he was solid last week at Firestone and set the pace early with an opening round of 64. But this round, on a major championship layout, is in an entirely different setting and record. He’s also got a very good shot to break the course record of 64, held by Ben Hogan and Curtis Strange. Matching that record would only require him to par out on the final three holes.

With Adam Scott making mincemeat of a soggy Oak Hill Country Club early Friday morning, Tiger Woods could only watch and wait to see how irrelevant he may be when he finally takes the field for his second round.

Scott, a birdie machine in Thursday’s opening round, was back at it Friday, putting the eyes out of the ball and leaving even those who went low in the first round in his wake. Ahead by three shots after seven holes, the first Australian to win the Masters back in April was playing with the self-assurance and dead-eye accuracy of a man intent on closing out his second major of the season in true Tiger Woods fashion.

On paper, Rory McIlroy’s opening round 69 was just OK. He didn’t blow away the field, or even challenge the lead, but compared to his recent form, McIlroy’s first round was a significant step in the right direction.

Despite entering the tournament as the defending champion and No. 3 player in the world, McIlroy was a relative afterthought this week. Fresh off their recent wins, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods garnered the bulk of the headlines. The attention McIlroy did receive wasn’t for his play on the course, but a result of Ian Poulter defending him to the media.

Few lingering showers and storms are possible this morning across Western New York and Oak Hill country club for the second round of the PGA championship. Most of the activity today will remain to the south and the southeast of Rochester and the PGA championship with the afternoon becoming mostly sunny and drier.

The rest of the weather forecast for the weekend looks great. Lots of sunshine for Saturday and Sunday with high temperatures in the mid 70s.

Phil Mickelson, attired in clingy golf shirts and those hideous reverse-Yankees pin-striped trousers, will never be mistaken for a trend-setting style maven. His choice of off-hours footwear does nothing to dispel the notion that Lefty’s a living, breathing, five-time major champion-winning fashion-don’t.

The world No. 2 has attracted a great deal of attention (some 57,000 hits come up when you Google “Phil Mickelson, flip flops”) after leaving the house a couple times since winning the British Open wearing what in technical circles are known as “flip-flops.”

After an eventful first day, the 2013 PGA Championship continues on Friday with the second round from Oak Hill. Players will be in the same groups they were on Thursday, which means another day with several notable pairings. Those groups are headlined by the pairing of Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott and Justin Rose.

Scott will begin the second round tied for the lead after shooting a 5-under 65 in the first round. Rose opens the day at 2-under, while Mickelson will have some ground to make up, beginning the round at 1-over. After playing in the afternoon on Thursday, the three 2013 major winners will tee off at 8:35 a.m. ET.
