PGA Championship cut line winners and losers: Maverick McNealy emerges from pack, Bryson DeChambeau stumbles

This tournament includes one of the bigger fields among the four men's majors, giving a wide array of players a chance to make it to the weekend. In some cases, making the cut is just one step towards the ultimate goal, but in others, missing the cut is the end to a very disappointing week. Aronimink played tough over the first two days and required players to overcome difficult greens and thicker rough.

Players who shot a +4 or better survived to the weekend, while the rest of the field can now head home early. Therefore, here's who came out of Friday's second round in good shape, and who should be most disappointed. PGA CHAMPIONSHIP HQ: Live leaderboard | Tee times | TV schedule PGA Championship cut line winners and losers Winners Maverick McNealy McNealy has been a pretty steady player for a few years, and that is now starting to translate to majors.

The 30-year-old has made the cut in each of the last six majors, and after four top-40 finishes last year, had a tied-for-18th finish at the Masters this year for his best major finish. Therefore, McNealy's presence at the top of the leaderboard isn't too much of a surprise even if he's never finished in the top-15 at a major. This presents McNealy's best chance to compete for his first major title, and at the very least, should give him experience competing in a big tournament.

Alex Smalley Smalley makes an unlikely appearance at the top of the leaderboard after shooting two under-par rounds to begin the tournament. The 29-year-old shot a 67 on Thursday to tie for the -3 lead entering Friday, and at one point had a two-shot lead at -5, but came back to the back with three-straight bogeys. Still, this is clearly Smalley's best performance at a major tournament.
