The PGA Championship witnessed notable missed cuts, with Jon Rahm's 36-hole score capturing the spotlight. Rahm finished in last place after rounds of 78 and 77, totaling 11 over par. Meanwhile, Tommy Fleetwood exited at plus three, marking another setback for the tournament organizers at Wentworth.

In a day filled with high-profile withdrawals, Patrick Reed had to leave midway through his round due to injury, creating implications for Rory McIlroy in his quest for the DP World Tour’s order of merit.

Rahm, who skipped media duties, is anticipating the arrival of his fourth child, which may have contributed to his lackluster performance. The backdrop of the LIV Golf situation also looms large, as Rahm is expected to leave the circuit once the bankruptcy filing concludes. His two rounds included three birdies, 10 bogeys, and two double bogeys.

Fleetwood, needing a turnaround after his opening 73, faced struggles on the 15th hole, recording a bogey and then a double bogey. He managed three birdies but ultimately shot a 74.

Reed, who had shown promise after the first round, played his first nine holes in 44, nine over par, before withdrawing due to a wrist injury.

In contrast, Adam Scott performed consistently, matching his first-round score of 67. The 46-year-old Australian expressed the significance of winning at Wentworth, stating, "It would mean a lot? Absolutely. I mean, it would be huge."

Looking ahead, Scott will join an International team at the Presidents Cup, aiming to improve their record against the United States. Meanwhile, JJ Spaun, who shot a 66 to reach eight under, expressed disappointment at being omitted from the team despite his strong performance this season.
