Rory McIlroy struck the ball beautifully well on day two of the PGA Championship and he was clearly very much in control of his golf ball.

McIlroy ended his opening round at Aronimink with four consecutive bogeys and ended up carding a 73.

However, the 37-year-old bounced back in style on day two at Aronimink and carded an extremely solid score of 67. Scottie Scheffler suggested that some of the pin locations at Aronimink on Friday were ‘absurd’. The American did, however, insist that the setup was fair.

Scheffler said: “ You just got to continue to try to hit good shots, and most of the pins today were, I mean, kind of absurd. They were just so far into the areas where we thought the pins were going to be, and then they just — like the one on 14 was probably the hardest pin that I’ve seen in a long time just because, I mean, there’s literally just like a spine and they’re like, oh, we’ll just put the pin right on top of it. And you’re like, all right, well, I’ll see what I can do.
