World number two Scottie Scheffler, Norwegian Viktor Hovland and Canada's Corey Conners grabbed a share of the PGA Championship second round lead on Friday, while an unforgiving Oak Hill left some of golf's biggest names fighting to make the cut.
Scheffler, who posted his first ever bogey-free round at a major with a tidy 67 on Thursday, could not match that brilliance in round two but as always delivered a clinical performance carding a two-under 68 to return to the top.
"The tournament is halfway done," said Scheffler, who can reclaim the number ranking with a win on Sunday. "I had two good days so far, and I'm just hoping to continue that as the week goes on."So when you can kind of hang around the lead and stay in position and hopefully wait to get hot, it's a good position to be in."
Through the first two rounds golfers have already faced about everything Mother Nature could throw at them with gusting winds, frost and rain adding to Oak Hill's already sturdy defences. Spieth, who is making his seventh attempt the career slam, rolled in a must make eight-footer for par at the 18th to secure his spot.
Lowry would bogey his final two holes coming home but his 67 would leave him at even par through two rounds in pack that includes good friend Rory McIlroy.
