Will Zalatoris shot a bogey-free 65 on Friday to take a one-shot lead into the weekend of the PGA Championship, making the most of the wind letting up in the afternoon.

“I lucked out with the draw, for sure. We played 11 on without any wind. When I got out of position, I got the most out of it.”

 

The American has played in eight majors since turning pro in 2018 and has finished in the top-10 four times, including a second place behind Hideki Matsuyama in the 2021 Masters.

“When I took the sole lead on 12, I told my caddie, ‘Let’s enjoy this,’” said Zalatoris. “In my first Masters, I was runner-up and I wanted to enjoy it. I’ll take that same attitude.”

Chile’s Mito Pereira carded a 64 to move into second place at 8-under.

American Justin Thomas, playing in the very windy morning, closed with a 67 that featured a single bogey to move into third place at 6-under.

Compatriot Bubba Watson, who had never before scored better than 68 in his previous 49 rounds in this event, shot a 63 to tie the lowest round in the event’s history and put himself in contention in fourth place at 5-under.

 

Overnight leader Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland failed to capitalise on the lack of wind in the afternoon and produced two bogeys and a single birdie for a 71. He slips down into a share of fifth place at 4-under alongside Mexico’s Abraham Ancer (69) and Davis Riley (68) of the USA.

Tiger Woods appeared likely to miss the cut after a double bogey at the par-3 11th but recovered with birdies at the 13th and 16th and closed with a 69. He is T53 at 3-over.
