Jhonattan Vegas is atop the leaderboard at the 2025 PGA Championship, finishing the second round at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, at 1-under par and 8-under par for the tournament. The 40-year-old Venezuelan golfer is two strokes ahead of the rest of the field, with Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Xander Schauffele trailing behind.
Vegas’s impressive round was marked by several key shots down the stretch, which gave him opportunities to compete with the leaders. The 68-year-old Venezuelan golfer’s consistency and skill have earned him a reputation as one of the top players in the game.
Meanwhile, Max Homa struggled to find his footing despite shooting a 7-under 64 on Friday. The 34-year-old American golfer is tied for fourth place entering Saturday’s moving day. Despite his previous success, Homa has been plagued by a new swing coach and caddie, which has led to a slump in recent weeks.
The tournament has also seen some unexpected moments, including a close encounter with a snake on the par-5 10th hole for former PGA Championship winner Shaun Micheel. The reptile slithered past Micheel’s ball before heading into the rough, but he still managed to make a birdie on the hole.
As the tournament progresses, fans will be watching closely to see how these top players perform over the weekend. Can Homa overcome his struggles and make a push for the lead? Will Scheffler and McIlroy bounce back from their disappointing opening rounds? Only time will tell.
