the dane Soren Kjeldsen signed a superb card with 64 shots to continue to lead alongside the Norwegian Victor Hovland The PGA Championship of golf, disputed in the English club of Wentworthwith the stroke advantage in a trio formed by the Belgian Thomas DetryThe Spanish Rafa Cabrera Bello and the northern irish Rory McIlroy.
The tournament continued this Saturday after it was delayed on the first day due to the death of Elizabeth IItherefore, at 9:50 local time, two minutes of silence was observed.

Rafa Cabrera, despite two bogeys at 1 and 6, completed an impressive second round with nine birdies to sign a 65 and 133 overall, the same as Detry and McIlroy, who are in good position after a day started with three pair and ‘started’ at 4 with ‘eagle’ to make 65 as well.
Quite a morale boost for the Spanish player to finish with three consecutive birdies: “It feels good to finish like this. You know what can happen on this course, especially on two par fives. There’s always a crazy eagle ending – eagle. you are in your mind so you are always fighting until I hit a good shot on the 16th and I allowed myself to birdie then I played the 18th well with a two-putt birdie. on the 17th I had a very good shot after missing the tee shot. So it’s like an extra birdie,” he explained.
The tournament, however, is very open, because, sixth, just two shots away, are the Italian Francesco Molinari, the Englishman Matthew Jordan, the Irishman Shane Lowry, the American Talor Gooch and the Spanish Adrian Otaeguiplethoric with a card of 65 hits after achieving an ‘eagle’ and five ‘birdies’.

Jorge Campillo Y Pablo Larrazabal.
slightly improved Jon Rahm with a 68, but was never allowed to get close to the lead, where he was six strokes behind. On a day he shared a game with Hovland and Tyrrell Hatton, he made six birdies, but spoiled the card and the return with a double bogey on the par 3 hole 5.
