Adam Scott's double bogey to finish round one at Oak Hill proves a portent of things to come, with the Australian battling in a 4-over-par second round at the PGA Championship.
Still, the 4-over-par 74 dropped him to 2-over for the tournament and not only struggling to keep in touch with the leaders, but no longer even the best of the Australians.
Cam Davis leapfrogged him by one stroke after a chaotic round on the challenging course in upstate New York, hitting par on eight of 18 holes, finishing at 1-over after five birdies and five bogeys equalled an even-par 70. After a 1-over-par opening round, 24-year-old Min Woo Lee is leading the pack of Aussies thanks to four birdies on his first five holes, but remains on course finishing his second round.
English LIV golfer Justin Rose and Canada's Taylor Pendrith are the clubhouse leaders at just 1-under, but most of the provisional leaders and chasing pack are still out on course.
