The Aronimink GC and some cold windy mornings is the combo that is stumping the worlds best after with round 2 winding down and the clubhouse lead only -4.

Final Edit 8pm 26/05/15
With Aronimink proving a tough adversary, cold (for these pampered pros) early mornings, and according to Scheffler "some of the toughest pin placements" he had ever encountered, the result for the top 100 golfers is a leading score of only -4 after 36 holes.
Alex Smalley 67 69 -4 and Maverick McNealy 69 67 -4 share that distinction.
However the field remains so bunched heading into the weekend there are 26 players within 4 shots and if you count the +1's, 40 players within 5 shots.
The weather is forecast to warm up considerably reaching nearly 30*c by Sunday afternoon and the wind will shift from NW to a much warmer SSE.
So Aronimink will firm up, become faster, especially thee greens which a tough enough as it is already.
Chris Gotterup somehow posted the lowest score of 65 today so it can be done, but I can't see anyone running away with it, the formula, get it in the fairways to be able to hit appropriate approaches, then who can make the most putts will reveal the eventual winner.
Canadians (The cut fell at +4)
Nick Taylor T30 69 72 +1
Corey Conners T30 68 73 +1
Taylor Pendrith T68 72 72 +4
Sudarshan Yellamaraju 75 75 MC
Notes
*M/C. Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Bob MacIntyre, Stewart Cink who is dominating the Senior Circuit, Adam Scott, Bryson DeChambeau, Viktor Hovland amongst the well knowns who will not win the PGA Championship this year.
*Garrick Higgo was penalized 2 shots for being "late", MC by a shot...
* Rory T30 74 67 +1 is back in the game as is the other favourite Scott Scheffler T9 67 71 -2
* This is shaping up to be a big bunched group coming down the stretch on a lovely Sunday afternoon, all with a shot, either a dead heat, or a winner by a nose, would not be unlikely.
