McIlroy recovers as problem solvers flourish at testing US PGA
In the second round of the 2026 US PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club, strategic, adaptive golfers thrived on a punishing course setup featuring extreme pin positions and thick rough. Rory McIlroy bounced back from a disappointing opening round with a bogey-free 67 to reach one over par, while Maverick McNealy and Alex Smalley lead at four under, with a tightly packed leaderboard (15 players within two strokes of the lead) keeping the tournament wide open heading into the weekend.
